Boykins has short arms, that's why he can bench so much. Very small range of motion.

Yup.  You can't emphasize how much of a difference short arms make when it comes to benching.

I've never understood this theory. Yes it's a small range of motion but the other guys have arms and chests probably three times the size of him. Doesn't that even out?
Think of levers or a see saw.

That list is from 2008, so I don't think you can really take Ben Wallace seriously on that anymore.

Also, for my money, it goes:

1) DaJuan Blair


Great call Indeed! Don't let Blair go undrafted in fantasy leagues next year!

I heard Gerald Green used to put up, 10, even 20 pounds at any given time, simply amazing stuff - he got the trophy all the way over his head, and it only took 3 tries!



10 even 20 lbs? That must have been a heavy cupcake.
Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

Our own Kendrick Perkins has to be among the strongest in the NBA..has to be.

Anyone who can keep Both Dwight and Shaq out of the Paint has to count for something..
