M.O.B. Votes:

were pretty scrawny...so were the Lakers for the most part. Pippen was still pretty thin, Jordan certainly got bigger and you basically named most of the muscular guys from that era. There were some guys that were just naturally big though. Bill Laimbeer was 6'11" 245 lbs and an "enforcer", he'd get tossed around like a rag doll today. Most NBA teams have a 6'11" 270 lb Steven Adams on their team.

also that dude spit on me as he went into - SabertoothTiger MU - 11/4 13:59:13

not in the NBA. He was off the bench most - SabertoothTiger MU - 11/4 13:56:16

Boris Diaw late in his career was also impressive (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/4 14:02:44

Or you could go with Joker and Luka - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/4 14:04:23

we will never know but I bet they could be better if - SabertoothTiger MU - 11/4 14:08:46

Do you know that they aren’t in peak condition?(nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/4 14:10:21
