Former NBA Big Man, Paul Mokeski revealed the disadvantages of being so tall and issued a warning for San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama.
President Biden hosts a reception in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month to honor the contributions of the Latino community to the U.S.“The human body is not made to be so tall,” said Mokeski. “From Darryl Dawkins and Moses Malone to Earl Cureton, Wilt Chamberlain, and Jack Haley, they all died from heart-related problems. This is what happens with tall players like me who played in the NBA . We notice the former tall players who have passed away and how they died. Yes, it is a concern.
Regarding the comparison with other current basketball players, even taller than him, like Wembanyama, Mokeski acknowledges that there are different types of training and care.“When you look at his training, he has taken it to the extreme. Yoga, stretching, and all that,” Mokeski explained. “We didn’t do those things. I wish we had. We did 15 jumping jacks and said, ‘Let’s play!’”
