will never make the NBA. Looks like he has leg problems, probably will have a heart attack before he is 40. Is not physically coordinated to play even in the Euroleague. come on the Japanese league? Manny could probably drop 20 a night there.

He was 6ft 7 at 15!!!

"In the summer of 2005, Sun discovered that he had a benign brain tumor attached to his pituitary gland that was stimulating the over-production of growth hormone, a potentially fatal condition known as acromegaly. Because he had neither health insurance nor enough money to pay for the more than $100,000 in medical bills, his agent, Charles Bonsignore, started a fund raiser to raise the necessary funds. The tumor was successfully removed on September 26, 2005."

That picture looks ridiculious but i don't think he can do anything in the NBA compared to Dwight.

yeah, this guy can not play in the NBA. his reflexes and coordination would never let him compete at that level. NBA players are world class athletes and they would destroy him on the court.

I watched a video of him playing on youtube and he basicly just stands by the basket and puts the ball in because his slam dunks are standing on his toes! it was pretty cool.

Where do these tall Chinese people come from?!?!?! o.O I'm only 5'9" and that's the average for both my family and the US. My family was historically tall for being Chinese, but I guess that this was only true for the south. D: Ha ha!!!
