All time NBA tallest team Vs All time NBA shortest team...Who wins?

[Finn T-Mac]

So where's Gheorhe Muresan... he was 7'7 the talles ever played in the NBA

[catzhernandez]

Ralph Sampson at 7'4" played power forward for the Rockets during his best years.

Gimme the tall ones...

Magic feeding Dirk, Pau and Durant. Game over.

Didn't KG play a bunch of PG in Minny during one year of the playoffs?

The tall team is not only bigger, but composed of much more talented players. You have the GOAT PG on it...matched up against mugsy bogues. You then have three of the most offensively talented players in the league currently at the 4-3-2. It would be a massacare.

the small team got some elite players, even at mvp level, but overall, when the whole team is that small, it's no contest. the big team got some quality players too. magic at point? that's already not fair. then you got scoring in dirk and others. and on defensive end, manute bol's swatting every layup to afghanistan.

[Aussie Dunker]

Could you imagine magic posting up mugsy??
Iverson trying to guard Durant's jumpshot??
Even baylor trying to guard Dirk's jumpshot....

Probably the tall team would win, just by posting up their opponents. Shorties' speed won't always be enough to escape from their tall opponents. They'll have to escape from their outstretched hands, as well...

A few changes should be done at the roster, though:

1) Move Calvin Murphy to shortest SG. The man was a scorer, not a passer. And he was 5'9.
2) Although SF's have the closest size range, Elgin Baylor was certainly not the shortest SF ever (whenever he played at the position we know as SF). He was a normal 6'5 barefoot, close to 6'7 with shoes on. Don Kojis, Frank Ramsey and Ricky Pierce were all 1-2 inches shorter.
3) Unseld was a bit shorter than Big Ben.
4) Due to his game, I think Manute Bol could also play the PF. I even think he's played there for very short stints. Barkley may also have played as a C for a short while. After all, Muresan was a few millimetres taller. I remember international media having Bol at 231 cm and Muresan at 232 cm. If not Bol, you can definitely put Ralph Sampson at PF.

3) Unseld was a bit shorter than Big Ben.

(BTW, I thought centers back in the 60's were per average 6'5 and forwards 6'2. Why doesn't the original list include any of them? ).

manute bol is so overrated, he wasnt even good. shawn ****ing bradely was so much better then manute
