I love tall people! Wasn't Manute Bol closer to 7'6? I also read an article stating that some players get measured in shoes and others are measured bare feet.

I know almost nothing about sports. When Shaq wasn't on this list I knew I was in trouble. I only got 1.. and after the answers were revealed I saw that I've only even heard of 2.

Great quiz. I got most that I had heard of, forgot Sabonis even though I loved watching him!

Would have been helpful to have the team(s) that they played for!

I kept trying to put all the H's in Muresan's last name. I knew he had a few of 'em.

Can't believe I missed Breuer. He played for the Bucks when I was a kid in Milwaukee. Seemed like a nice enough guy but I could never understand why he'd miss a layup (or for that matter why he didn't dunk everything when he knew he missed layups at times).
