Enough talent to acknowledge role players can make a great career by accepting a minor role on a team.

WTF. I'm not comparing my basketball skills to NBA players. This board is ridiculous too often these days.

He is a scrub compared to the other players during that time period. Your basis of comparison is completely unhinged.

Height is something that you cannot teach

MM is 6'11", teams will always have a place for someone that tall, even with limited skills and athleticism

My basis of comparison is completely unhinged because I wouldn't call someone who stuck in the league for over a decade a scrub? Okay, I'm alright with that.
