    I'd define it as you can't beat a better frontcourt in basketball.
    Almost every single NBA champ/finalist had the best/second best frontline in the league.

    As for pure height - you know... Bradley, Muresean, Lauderdale or Mark Eaton (remember that guy?) and even Yao now have never been factors enough to win something.

    WTF?

    Yao is way better than those guys.

    Yao is THE TOP 5 in the league in terms of potential, value, and skills.

    There's a reason Manute Bol is widely considered the greatest basketball player to have ever lived.

    Mr Gold, you are a master of the obvious. And yet I can't help but root for the team with the most 'little guys' in the college tournament. It's the same reason I root for you, JJ
