besides being tall, i don't see any skills or signs of athleticism in that article.

The way they wrote that article almost makes it seem like it was made up. It will be intresting if he does get drafted though with his skills being so raw and not having played anyone.

that almost seems like a joke:

"The 19-year-old South African phenom has only practiced on a single hoop in a local park in his native land -- the rim made out of antelope horn, the netting from the skin of a zebra."

"Sefu is not sure if Kudu will be willing to block shots, despite his height.

"He's a very sensitive guy, and he might not want to hurt the feelings of those playing with him," he says"

"Sefu has seen him play several times, but he has actually never spoken to him. As far as Sefu knows, no person who speaks Kudu's dialect also knows English.

"But I think it's safe to say that we all speak the language of basketball," Sefu says. "Even though Chimezie has been playing all his life with a ball made out of fused sheep's testicles.""

I didn't read the article. But, based on the little quote above I can safely say with 99% certainty that this is just more of page 2 pulling a funny.

Anyone over the height of 7ft and not playing basketball is a littttle freakish

The clincher that it's a joke: "Sefu says he is "proportionally skinnier than Shawn Bradley," and has one-percent body fat, which is concentrated in his cheeks and the back of his knees"

Well, it's been established that this is a parody thread, I guess we can expect a lock any time soon :roll:
