Tim Legler

So I played with the tallest player that ever played in the NBA, 7'7", George Mirosan.

I played against Sean Bradley.

We know about Manute Boll, Yao Ming, go down the list, Mark Eaton, guys that get to that 7'4 and up range.

None of those guys moved around the floor.

This guy covers so much ground defensively.

He actually, not only the tangible things he does with 12 blocks,

We don't even know how many possessions are altered mentally by a team because they don't process what's in front of them potentially as an opportunity to score the same way when Victor Wembanyama's on the court that they used to.

So there's no even real way to quantify that.

You don't know what a player's thinking.

I just know I've sat courtside calling games, and you can see what looks to be a driving lane for a player or a guy that maybe could turn the corner on a guy and get to the rim

and Victor Weminyama's out there somewhere on the opposite side of the floor lurking, and all of a sudden that's action they don't even look at.

So there's no way to even put a tangible number on that and his impact there.

You know, I do think offensively, I just think it's going to be tough for him to get to a place

where he can just do what he wants offensively the way some great, great players in this league have done, where they just seemed unstoppable as scorers.

Because he's 7'5", he's never going to have a lot of weight to him.

Guys can get into him and sort of push him around a little bit on the perimeter.

He'll take shots that are maybe helping the defense.

It's going to be hard for him to do that, but he might not have to.

because he does enough offensively as a scorer, and then his impact defensively is unlike any player I think we've ever seen.

So he might not need to to win MVPs and championships, but that will be the one thing.
