Re: 7-footers (and those around that height)...
Blount would be a farily successful mid-range shooter if he was 6'6" or so. He would still be in the league and he wouldn't have to rebound.
He sucks though.

Re: 7-footers (and those around that height)...
Shaq would be out if he was 6'3 200. He cant shoot. Not a very good rebounder, and barely plays defense. (clogging the paint with his size doesnt count as "defense" in my book)

Not to take anything away from him but a lot of Shaq's success is because of his size.

Re: 7-footers (and those around that height)...
the thing with shaq is, if he was smaller, dont you think he would of learned different skills needed to go with the height? He has the perfect skills to go along with his body frame. He doesnt need to shoot jumpers when he has the body and footwork to beat the defenders, as well as the passing skills to pass out of double teams.
that different from guys like Jerome James and Diop who dont even have the skills to go along with their frames. They are only in the left in the league because of the need for size on a lot of teams. These players are absolutely non skilled, for a big man or a guard.

One of only seven players in NBA history to average 25 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists while shooting 50% or more from the field in a playoff series (the others are Bob Cousy, Oscar Robertson, Wilt Chamberlain, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, and Michael Jordan). Wade accomplished this in two consecutive series in the 2005 playoffs.
2. Joined Wilt Chamberlain, Magic Johnson, and Allen Iverson as the only players ever to record games of 40+ points, 10+ rebounds, and 15+ assists in the same playoff season in 2005.
3. Holds the record for being the only player in NBA history to ever average at least 30 points on 69.5 field goal percentage for four consecutive NBA playoff series games (5/23/06-5/29/06). The last record was held by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with 63%. Wade accomplished it with less than 20 field goal attempts per game
4. Fifth player in NBA history with at least 30 points, 15 assists and 5 rebounds in a playoff game (5/10/05 vs. WAS). The others are Magic Johnson, Jerry West, Walt Frazier and Oscar Robertson.
5. One of four players in NBA history to have at least 30 points and 12 assists in three consecutive games (November 24-27, 2006). The others are Oscar Robertson, Nate Archibald, and Kevin Johnson. [5]

...and his outstanding athletic ability (tremendous combination of size and agility). Shaquille O'Neal is the most skilled center since Hakeem, in my opinion (although I'm prone to forgetting the obvious player). If he was limited to a 6'11", 285 lbs. frame (a normal center height, no?), I still feel he would be one of the greatest centers ever.
