I need to eat more Rice

Needing to replace one of Americas biggest athletes, last week the lakers worked out a center from China by the name of Sun Ming Ming. By the way, Ming stands at 7'8 and 360 pounds. This would make him the biggest center in the league, and possibly the biggest Center of all time. The only man close, 7'6 and 310 pounds Yao Ming also from China. Now its True Dallas has Shawn Bradley (USA) at 7'6 and Pavel Podkolzin (Russia) at 7'5, But Yao outweighs them both by at least 50 pounds. So who's next when it comes to big, big men none other then 7'4 Korean Superstar Ha Seung-Jin sitting at 310. The nearest thing America has the these giants, an aging 7'1 325 Shaq.
I'm not quite sure what it is, but the rest of the world is creating some "big" men for basketball. Here in America were producing guys like Emika Okafor, Dwight Howard, and Amarae Stoudemire. All have promising career's, but not if they have to go up against guys like Sun Ming every night. Perhaps it the diet in Asia that's making them big. I think I'm going to eat more rice.
