Help a tall man out
By from September 14, 2005
Watching Sun Ming Ming from afar has been a little hobby of mine since I heard of him a few months ago. This is a Chinese basketball player who can dunk a basketball flat-footed. He's seven feet eight inches tall. Real tall, right?
He's 22 years old, trying to break into the NBA, but in tryouts with teams, they raised concerns about his stamina. It turns out he has a tumor pressing into his pituitary gland, which has helped create his ridiculous height, and also limits the production of testosterone, which affects his endurance. The man has a tumor, and it's going to kill him.
He needs surgery immediately, but it costs a hundred thousand dollars! We think of NBA players as rich dudes, but he is no NBA player yet. He's a Chinese basketball player that simply does not have a hundred thousand dollars.
Kind-hearted souls have started a fundraiser for him at SaveSunMingMing.com. I want this guy to live, and I want to see him in the NBA. He's a nice guy and a tall guy and he can dunk a basketball standing flat on the ground. Let's not let a tumor kill him off.
Thank you.
