#2 I read an article recently about a really tall basketball player

I read an article about a basketball player in college who is 7-feet-7 inches tall but they are benching him.  They are doing this because he gets injured very easily due to his size and they don't want to risk him getting hurt because once he does get hurt it takes a long time to heal the injury.  I read it because I love basketball and read any up to date news on basketball and it was interesting that they would bench the tallest player in college basketball.  My reaction to this article at first was how could they do that to him but then as I read on I realized they did it as a safety precaution.  It will be interesting to see if they keep a 7-foot-7 inch man on the bench or if they will play him when he is needed this year.

Wow that guy must be huge. It would be funny to see him on a bench.

Are you talking about Kenny George, UNC-Ashville forward.

As a very short person, I'm sort of jealous. But at least I don't get hurt very easily...unless I get stepped on.
