Could Prime Yao Handle Wemby?

Yao Ming at his peak was 7'6", 310 lbs, unstoppable on the block, and one of the most skilled post scorers ever. Victor Wembanyama is a 7'4" unicorn with guard mobility, absurd length, and elite defensive instincts. So would a healthy prime Yao’s size, footwork, and power give Wemby serious problems? #NBA #Wemby #YaoMing #Spurs #Rockets #NBATalk #Basketball #BigMen

LeBron on Jokic: “There has not been a more dominant, complete player that I’ve played against.”

LeBron James doesn’t hand out praise lightly — and he just called Nikola Jokic the most dominant and complete player he’s ever faced. Coming from someone who’s battled peak Duncan, KG, Dirk, Steph, KD, Kawhi, Giannis, Embiid, and so many more… that’s a wild statement. So what do you think? Is Jokic the most complete player of this era? And where does he rank among the greatest bigs ever? #NBA #LeBron #Jokic #Nuggets #NBATalk #GOATDebate #BigMen

One of my favorite prospects ever — what was Oden’s ceiling if he stayed healthy? 🤔

Dominant size, elite defense, soft touch around the rim — Oden had everything. But injuries kept us from ever seeing his full potential with the Portland Trail Blazers. If he never got hurt… Are we talking perennial All-Star? DPOY? Hall of Fame? 👀 Drop your takes ⬇️ #GregOden #PortlandTrailBlazers #NBAWhatIf #NBAHistory #BasketballDebate #Sports #NBA #BigMen

Yang Hansen Bounced Back Big in His Home Debut 👏🔥

After a rough previous outing (4 points, 4 rebounds, 6 fouls), Yang Hansen responded in a huge way tonight. In just 17 minutes, he put up 16 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 blocks, shooting 5/8 from the field, 2/3 from three, and 4/4 from the line. He dominated the third quarter, going a perfect 5/5 for 14 points, igniting the home crowd and completely shifting the game’s momentum. Defensive anchor in the first half, offensive takeover in the second — this was the breakout performance Blazers fans were waiting for. Portland edged out the Kings 124–123, and Yang was a big reason why. Are we witnessing the rise of a future fan favorite in Portland? 👀 #NBA #YangHansen #TrailBlazers #BigMen #Portland #Sports

TIL Rasheed Wallace was a monster in high school

USA Today once named Rasheed Wallace Player of the Year after leading Philadelphia’s Simon Gratz to a perfect 31-0 season. He averaged 14.8 points, 14.2 rebounds, and 7.2 blocks, all while only playing 19 minutes a game because his team blew everyone out. In one summer-camp game, he reportedly blocked 27 shots. It’s crazy thinking how dominant he was inside back then. And in the NBA, he became one of the first bigs to stretch the floor with 3s and midrange touch. #RasheedWallace #NBALegends #BigMen #Philadelphia #DetroitPistons
