BIG BOYS. Kai Sotto can draw inspiration from the careers of Kristaps Porzingis and Yao Ming. Photos from Paul Mata , Mavericks , and Rockets has been the talk of the town yet again, lately, and for good reason.

Regardless of the league’s massive busts from overseas, there have been some international giants who thrived well, if not flat-out excelled.On the subject of basketball unicorns, no one in NBA history fit the bill more than Manute Bol, the sweet-shooting, shot-swatting Sudanese who enjoyed a decade’s worth of play time.

Although he passed away at the young age of 47, he left behind a son who just might be better and more well-rounded than him when all is said and done: Denver Nuggets center Bol Bol.Living up to the phrase “gentle giant” is Serbian sensation Boban Marjanovic. His wide frame also makes it difficult for him to rotate and provide help defense, leading to smaller but more agile opponents to abuse him down low. His low 0.4 blocks average for his career is solid proof of that.

With virtually no weaknesses to his game other than recent health concerns, the 24-year-old Porzingis is set to make the Mavericks a solid contender for years to come.NBA career averages: 12.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.1 blocks, 0.8 steals He peaked in the 1997-1998 season with averages of 16 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 1.1 blocks per game despite being 33 years old at the time.

While Arvydas never played at full strength in the NBA, his good basketball genes clearly passed down to his son Domantas, who is fresh off his first All-Star berth at just 23 years old.Last but definitely not the least, Yao Ming wraps up the list as another international giant with a Hall of Fame resume.
