Zo was 6-10 240 but they measured you with shoes on during that time. Bam is 6-9 255.

Bam is 6’9 barefoot with a 7’3 wingspan. Prime Zo was definitely beefier and like half a foot taller with a 7’6 wingspan

Spo had 3 days to get a defensive game plan and this was the result. I dunno what else Riley can do for the guy.

Torn acl

He tore his quad tendon. Possibly a worse injury.

Brooks, Anderson, Valanciunas, Allen, Bane, Konchar, Tillman, Jones, and Tillie. These are the 9 names of the Grizzlies' players who made at least 1 3 last night against Miami.

The size is fairly comparable.

Zo was just far better at leveraging his weight than Bam is.

Bam can barely do a proper drop step, hook shot.

i have no idea what yall comparing Zo and Bam but Zo went toe and toe with best bigs in the era of great bigs. there is definitely more to it than you're an inch taller or shorter than so and so. smdh

you think Bam could hang with Ewing if he was 6'10 instead of 6'9 without shoes? lmao
he's lucky that best big today is what fat Jokic who shoots 7 3s :roll:

I guess I won't be having Papa John's for dinner tonight. Thanks OP.

On a side note, it's kind of fun to read some of the "Chicken Little" posts after a few very confident days of postings. :lol:

Why we comparing Zo and Bam lol. Different eras and different builds.

Defensively, Bam is the epitome big in today’s era. Why we get killed so much inside is because of all the switching our defense does. The fact that Bam can guard perimeter players actually hurts us at times because teams are catching on and dumping it in where there’s a smaller man on their C. Mouse in the house.

That, and the fact that we’re playing 6’8” 200 pound Trevor Ariza as our full time 4, who just so happens to 35 years of age.

Besides in today’s league Bam cannot be a 4 until he can shoot 3s. Just the way it is.

In terms of size, Bam is bigger than Zo and Brian Grant and they both played C for the Heat during the Shaq era. In terms of mentality though, Bam likes to play more outside of the paint. Playing in the post does a lot of wear and tear on your body, especially against a bigger guy like Jonas. Hopefully Dedmon can get some good minutes in games to tire out some of the bigger C’s. Don’t need Bam getting beat up.

My point was missed altogether about Bam not being a C when everyone started talking about Zo’s size. Bam is bigger than Zo was unless the mass of a pound has changed. Though Zo has a longer Wingspan.

6’10 (with shoes) 240. Prime Zo. 6’9 (without shoes) 255 For Bam. Doesn’t matter tho cuz even if you say Zo was bigger than Bam and that’s why Bam should not be a C, I STILL agree with you because I don’t think he should be a C.

Either way, why are you all booing me? I’m right.
