No. Centers are playing further from the bucket than back then. They still post up, but I can see him taking thicker and slower opponents away from the paint and either shooting over them or rolling off picks to the rim faster than they can keep up. I can envision him as a 7'4" power forward.

Wow coach.

Had to stop for a minute and try to visualize that in my head...LOL ..but I get what you're saying.

I was thinking about all the really tall guys, like that Chinese dude [[whose name I can't remember) and they seem to get beat up a lot with injuries.

That was Yao Ming. His career was cut short when his body betrayed him and his knees [[like Ralph Sampson's) proved not to be capable of supporting an athlete who was that big and that athletic. People are bigger, stronger, and faster than at any time in history but the human knee is as frail as it ever was and incapable of becoming structurally more supportive. Have you noticed that college and pro football linemen play with knee braces even when they are not injured?

Never gave it much thought but it makes sense.

HAHAHA...That's pretty cold arr&bee but I think my high school team from back in the day [[we won a few State championships) could have beat the Wizards. LOL

fyi: My HS was also the home of NFL player John Baker and NC'S first Black Sheriff.
"Big John" Baker is the dude that kicked the butt and helmet off the Giant's QB back in the 60's. So my HS football team probably could have beaten the Skins too. LOL

I owe you that one. HAHAHAHAHAHA...We're even now.

**ms_m** · 01-10-2017, 07:13 AM

Mo:

Big John was a legend in my neck of the woods and tackling that Giants QB was one of the many stories people would talk about. I had to look up the team he was with at the time cause I couldn't remember but it was.....THE TERRIBLE TOWELS......hahahahahahaha

I heard the stories but never looked up all the info behind them. Now I realize just how much of a big deal that hit really was. wow

I always thought of Sheriff Baker as a gentle giant but I know other folk who were scared to death by him. Now I understand.

**arr&bee** · 01-10-2017, 12:13 PM

Wow poor y.a. The stands look pretty empty this was back when the steelers stunk...hehehehehe!!!

**moe** · 01-10-2017, 12:18 PM

Yes R&B you are right; Steelers did stink back then.

They still stink. If they wanted to be fair, they would have sat Roethlisburger, Pouncey, and a few other players in the game last week against the Fins. Just to make things even. But did they do that?

What?! You think I need to let it go? LET IT GO?!

Okay. Okay. I let it go. Sh*t happens.

To give the starters a rest , of course but to make things even...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

THAT was funny. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

MsM, I remember him!! Never thought about this until you did! He was pre- terrible towels but we would've been waving those towels for him! You know who he reminds me of now? The Steelers defensive player "Big Dan" McCullers.....6ft 7in & over 300 lbs. Here is another gentle giant.....until he plays!
