When I was in college we played at Southeast Missouri and got there the night before the game for practice. They had a WWE show that night and to get to the auxiliary gym we had to walk through the hall with all the dressing rooms. I saw The Big Show standing outside his dressing room and he said "What's up Big Man" (Us big fellas stick together). I shook his hand and it was like shaking hands with a pot roast. I'm a legit 6'10" and had to look up at him. He was easily 7'1" and at least 350, probably closer to 400, just a monstrous human being.

The gym workers at our shootaround the next day said after the show he was shooting around in the auxiliary gym and about destroyed one of their goals with a dunk.

Bill Russell in terms of height. Gronkowski in terms of just size. His hands are the size of Christmas hams.

I'm like 6'3"-6'4"...I also met him when I was like 11 so that might have something to do with it as well.

Shaq for me.

Big Show must be a monster.

Shaq and Kevin Nash here.

I've been out of the wrestling game for quite some time, but are Kevin Nash and Big Show the same person? i think so lol.

Having a dejavu moment, I remember you telling this story word for word at some point before

Standing side by side with Shaq and seeing how big he was, I can't even imagine with the Big Show.

no

Kevin Nash was Diesel, Vinnie Vegas, NWO dude

Big Show is Paul Wight ... dude who tried to be Andre

Ok, I had the right guy.

It is possible that i never knew the difference between the 2 guys lol.

pretty sure Kevin Nash was in the movie the Punisher too. The Russian guy who he fights in his apartment lobby or whatever it was

How tall is Big Show? 7'0"-7'1"? That's a large fucking man.

I probably did. The guy was monstrous. That kind of sticks with you.

Also, if Jared Lorenzen can still play some ball I'm sure JaMarcus can:

that guy who hits him at the 5 yard line or so gets bounced back like 3 yards

Big Z was huge. He's 7'3" and not wide, but it was still impressive to see him shoot and nail 3's being that tall. Watched an entire warmup court side and he made me forget lebron was out there lol

Players > Coaches. The GM might even be more important than the coach.

Atta boy

Whoops.


Though I will say Trendon and I broke even with the turnover margin talk. We were right on that one, but SF was still great anyway lol.

Currently at 308 pounds, Russell is down from the 320 pounds he weighed this past fall and has been focusing on cardio conditioning the past six weeks to lose the weight.

Though no team has expressed formal interest, new Arizona Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians reportedly said, "After all the video I've gone through since taking over, I have to say that JaMarcus could probably start for us tomorrow," before he locked himself in his office and put Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt" on repeat.

get the fuck out... i wonder what Jared Lorenzen is doing these days?
