is Yao Ming the tallest player is the NBA?

?

Currently playing, yes. I think George Muresan (sp?) at 7'7" was the tallest ever.

Yup.

Currently yes

 

[ryzmah]

No, Shawn Bradley is about an inch taller (and when they played Bol and Muresan would have been taller as well).

Doh.. Forgot about him..

 

[lupohki]

Oh yeah .. Bradley is 7'6" and Yao Ming is listed at 7'5"

 

[Maximus96]

it was just mentioned on TNT that Yao is 7'6

 

[lupohki]

Hey, on TNT just now, the commentators were saying how some say Yao is 7-6 and others say 7-5.

 

[ryzmah]

You can't really trust the height listings other than as a general guide - they tend to be exaggerated but not all are to the same extent. You can tell Bradley is slightly taller by watching a Houston - Dallas game, and Bol and Muresan were both a little taller than Bradley when they played.

Hes in pain.

It's okay, Kobe can take the load as long as his teamates are making the open jumpers.
