umm, what about Shaq and Big Z last year?

Z is not a wide body.

Other than that, the first duo to come to my mind was Robinson, Duncan. I was thinking big the other way.

What about Sampson (7'4") and Olajuwon (7'0")?  ;)

I think this is the clear winner, no?

  Funny, I always thought of him as fat, but maybe he is just slow.

The discussion is about weight. If you're talking about height, it's hard to beat the triple-tower lineup in SA when they fielded 7'0 Duncan, 7'0 Purdue, and 7'1 Robinson.

The guy is 7'2, he won't run the 100 yard dash like Usain Bolt. Probably not even like Rondo. And age doesn't help, either.

Ilgauskas is not bulky or fat by any stretch of imagination, though.

Did anyone else crack up when reading the title of this thread?  Normally a "your mom" joke would follow but I'm not sure if that's frowned upon here

I like Shaq and Baby's odds if they have to face these guys at SummerSlam  ;)
