He looks like he has a decent stroke from mid-range. Why don't we sign this guy instead of Faverani?

Tall guy but not atheletic at all. Can not play proffesional sport

He also looked like he was going to die running down the court.

Actually he hunches over and moves something like the Brazilian center we already have.

he makes Luke Walton look like Michael Jordan

Based on the video, he was coming back from injury. Dude is 29.

It seems to me that a 7'9" guy that even knows how to hold a basketball should have found his way to an nba tryout by now. What was the deal with the video anyway, was that supposed to showcase him as a player? The first half was just a team huddle.

At 29, it seems like it may be a little late for him to learn from top coaches and get in better shape...too bad.

And, btw, did he really lose the jumpball??

Wow this guy sucks.

I watched a tv special on this guy a few years ago. I think he grew more since then. All I remember was he was filming for Rush Hour 3.

[Smutzy#9]

not being mean but seriously the guy will probably be dead in 5 years. Surely he has some disorder or is the product of some crazy Chinese factory

No, that's Ichiro.

I guess he did try to play basketball in America and it just did not work out. Apparently he declared for the draft in 05 and even had a workout with the Lakers, but was not selected.

After his surgery, Sun played with several American minor league teams, including the USBL team Dodge City Legend,[2] the ABA team Maryland Nighthawks,[9] and the IBL team Grand Rapids Flight. Later Sun would play in the Mexican league with Fuerza Regia[10] and in Japan's bj league with Hamamatsu Phoenix. In 2009 he returned to China to play for the Beijing Ducks in the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA), after a decent showing with the Heilongjiang Club in China's National Basketball League (CNB). Sun would later become a member of the 2012 CBA Finals championship winning team.
