Just had a thought when Shaq and Baby come of the bench together will they be the biggest front court tandem ever to play in the NBA? Cant think of another pair of 300lbers in the nba past or present.



did oliver miller ever play with tractor traylor?

Glen Davis hasn't weighed 300 lbs for a while now.

Certainly looks like he does.

I wonder if a retired Kemp and a retired Miller ever played in a celebrity wash up game together. That would have been something.

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

Thomas Hamilton and Charles Barkley, for Houston in 2000?  I'd still say Shaq and BBD have them beat.

Yeah, I agree. Glen, in that "Dougie" video, looks to be around 270-280 judging from the top up.

If that video was filmed in July, then Glen appears to be keeping himself in shape.

No it doesn't.

As big as Baby is, he looks like a midget next to Shaq.

How about Arvydas Sabonis, Zach Randolph, and Sean Kemp?  Nobody is beating that threesome.

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

I think the OP means girth not height.

Sheed was 7 ft...

Barkley and Oliver Miller is a fat duo.  Throw in Joe Kleine for good measure.

Absolutely not. Davis has improved his conditioning tremendously over the last couple of seasons. To me, he's gone below the 289 that he's listed at, and may be closer to 280.

I don't ever expect him to have playing weight below 270, and that won't be because he's fat. The guy is simply, for a lack of a better word, massive. His calves are twice the size of any other player his size.
