Rod Thorn has long admitted he likes his players tall. Well, he has succeeded. The Nets are the NBA&rsquo;s tallest team with an average height just under 6&prime;-8&Prime;, according to an NBA survey out this week. The Nets arealso seventholdest (27.8 years), ninth most experienced (5.5 years), andthird heaviest (230 pounds). And Boki Nachbar is just behind James Jones as the man who closest resembles the average NBA player.</div></p>

Hm. Not too much of a surprise, with our 8 big men, and then with Kidd, VC, Mags, DA, etc.</p>

But Boki most average? There musta been a lot of tall people comin into the league lately. Didn't RJ get it last year, or a lil while back?</p>
