Locked on Wolves suggested it, and I wonder if it is true. Is Ant, MCD, KAT, Naz, and Rudy the biggest lineup ever to share the floor?

Maybe for Wolves. Cavs had a lineup two years ago that is bigger.

Wow! But I wonder if that’s bigger, especially if the Jaden growth rumors are true?

Ant is 6’6 that is bigger than either Garland or Rubio. Jaden is 6’11 (I think 7’0 but let’s be conservative,) that is 1 inch shorter than Mobley. So let’s assume we are net +3 inches so far. Markkanen is 7’0 KAT is 6’11. So now we are +2. Love and Reid are both around 6’9 so they wash. Naz might be an inch taller, but I don’t know. Rudy is 7’1 and Allen is what 7’0 or smaller? I think we are taller.

When you guys say biggest do you actually mean tallest? There's a lot more to being big than being tall. Wemby may be taller 7'4" than Embiid7'0", but Embiid 280 is certainly bigger than Wemby 209. If any of the players in question are tubs of goo we can perhaps throw the weight out of the equation, but none of them are.

It is official, the IST is CURSED!!!! Pacers are 1-6 in their last 7. Lakers are 1-5 in their last 6. Play in the IST finals and you lose your playoff seeding. if you even make the playoffs.

i'd say it'd be more apt to go by wingspan in this era. in that case, look at orlando last year. i'd wager that at some point they ran out bamba, bol, banchero & franz with one of the other guards.

Embiid is like 7'2" or 7'3", isn't he?!

I just did Siri searches on each of their heights. She said 6’7, 6’8, 6’10, 6’11’ and 7’2. Ours are 6’6, 6’11, 6’11, 6’9, and 7’1

Using the above we are tied. But I think Ant is 6’7 and Jaden is 7’0. If either is true we win.

Straight from the Dane Moore podcast. “ It has been 267 days since the Wolves lost 2 consecutive regular season games.”

Listed at 7'0" and he doesn't seem any taller than that when I watch him play.

14-1 at home to start the season. 7-3 in the 16 game tough stretch. No back to back losses since early March. 24-7 best start in franchise history. Fun facts that are also unreal stats.

I just checked the update standings and I noticed something fun. Starting with us at 10 losses there is a straight line to 11th place with each team below having one more loss. For example OKC has 11, Denver 12, the Clippers 13, ect.., all the way to the Jazz in 11th place at 20 losses.

Watching Dane Moore podcast. The gap between the Wolves #1 ranked defense and the #2 Boston defense is 3 points per 100 possessions. For context, that same 3 point gap is the difference between Boston at #2 and the Lakers at #14.
