    Who cares if he is ugly? I would love to see a guy like this succeed in the NBA.

    Man the nba draft ain't a beauty contest so cares. You see how long this guy's freakin' arms are? The guy can dunk standing flat footed. And his arms are so long they can block just about anything if he times it right. The question is how mobile is he and will he be another Shawn Bradley? If this guy was a Yao he'd be projected higher, but obviously this guy has a long ways to go.

    Defensively, this guy could be a nightmare for any center or person who dares to drive the lane. Plus when Yao goes off this would be the guy to stop him.

    Check this out it says he
    was born with the same pituitary gland disorder as fellow draft prospect Pavel Podkolzine. Also known as ?giantism?, it is a disorder related to the pituitary gland which is involved in growth. Left untreated people with this disorder often die from it in their 30?s or 40?s as their body cannot sustain the growth.

    This guy might not be very coordinated but who knows.

    It's called "Gigantism" buddy.

    If you had the disorder you'd also be a 7'5" dude with a face that baboons would try to mount.

    The other 7'5" guy Pavel has gigantism too.

    Jabber had his pituitary gland removed so he's fine now. It's Pavel the one that's going to die if he ever stops taking his medicine. Jabber just has the facial features that indicated he had gigantism.

    I still feel sorry for the guy but I'm glad he will be able to hopefully make millions off his illness. He isn't too far from here, it would be cool to go check him out.

    Man I would love to be 7'5" and be butt ugly if I had to be. I get a shot at the NBA because of size alone practically. Make a million bucks per season and get the hotties because of it. Or actually scare away hotties at "both ends of the floor" if you know what I mean.

    He definately has a face that only a mother can love but I hope he is able to make it in the NBA. I would never want to be that size or have a mug like that, you couldn't pay me enough.

    Yeah on second thought I change my mind. Because maybe by some slim chance I could win the state lottery and keep everything else the way I like.

    Maybe he's not photogenic or he's not that bad looking from far away. Actually it's probably his teeth and his unibrow that make him look kind of ugly. I can't believe how important looks are when it comes to selling merchandise. If Lebron, Michael Jordan, Shaq, Ming, Kobe, T-mac, Marbury, Duncan were uglier than butt they'd never get endorsement money.

    Reminds me of those "stretch armstrong" dolls. The guy's freakin' arms are as long as his legs just about. can this guy jump at all?

    This guy is a future yao stopper and if he trains right he can be studly. I doesnt really matter what he looks like, but how he performs on the court. I kinda feel bad with all the jokes about his looks flyin around lol
