Sun Ming-Ming is playing for Dodge City Legends (USBL) in Kansas. The 23-year old China native picked up basketball just 5 years ago and removed a brain tumor just last year. While he still has a long way to go before making the NBA, he is working really hard to realize the dream.

Nov 18, 2008 - The dude is just big and has the footwork of a dog in a moving vehicle, he's extremley slow as well. If you thought yao was slow watch this guy, he's just a gimmick/experiment that wont work.
algozyx Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - wow the ball looks rlly small in his hands...
supersmash43 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - he's actually not that slow...

Nov 18, 2008 - "has the footwork of a dog in a moving vehicle", that, sir, is a priceless metaphor. I'm going to use it as soon as possible.It's true as well!
supersmash43 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - he's so tall that it almost isn't funny...lol the top of his head almost touches the mess!

Nov 18, 2008 - Ok, that's just cruel. The guy obviously can't help the way his facial bone structure looks like. Also I'm pretty sure he's an alien.

bobkauss07 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - wonder if he talks to yao ming for advice for his game?
tpn1989 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - he cant play nba tho, his coordination isnt good enough , his fitness isnt either
phillsWSchamps08 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - hes not skilled enough to play in the nba just look at the attempt of a pick at 2:18
3cbrooks Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - he is so big he cant even move its terrible
supersmash43 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Not sure if he's actually the tallest pro baller...but man is he huge...but he doesn't have a hance in the NBA even though he has improved since the removal of the tumor.

Nov 18, 2008 - i hate to sound horrible, but people this big ruin the great game of basketball.
supersmash43 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - how because they are more than 70% of the height of the rim? well in Sun's case more like around 78% (with his shoes on). It's pretty obvious that basketball originally wasn't designed for people that tall. If it was, the rim would be 11 feet. btw I am pretty confident Kenny George or Sun Ming Ming couldn't dunk on an 11 foot rim even though they could dunk on a 10 foot one w/o jumping.
ballerzblock7 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - no but, if he was 5 foot 9 i bet he wouldn't want to play basketball at all, teams that draft people this big are cruel, we all know theres better talent out there,
supersmash43 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - given his athleticism i doubt he would be playing any especially physically demanding sports if he was only 5,9". if he were 6,9" he might play some ball though but his chances at the NBA would be nil.
amarezero Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - It's not just about height and technique. I don't think he has the muscle/raw power to succeed in the NBA. Look at how much Gasol and Yao got pushed around when they first started. NOW look at Gasol, he's an all-round monster.
