Underweight. Only Memphis is more anorexic.

Eddie Curry really raises the bar for the Knicks.

Just because their above average doesn't mean they're overweight. The Knicks are overweight.

Yeah, they need an average body mass index rating or something like that. For the most part, this just looks like a list of teams ranked by overall size (with the exception of the Knicks who are, indeed, fat).

The numbers will be greatly skewed by who teams carry deep on their bench. Take an 11-man roster with 4 guards, 5 forwards, and 2 centers. If their 12th man is a 3rd string center, they'll rank high on the list. If he is a 3rd string PG, they'll rank low.

how about the mean and standard deviation. 221 seems to be around average, so you can't really call any team within a couple of lbs of that overweight. The knicks are the only big outlier, 13 off from the mean, with the nearest team 3 lbs lighter.
