This height / injury discussion has been brought up by Craig Miller of The Ticket on multiple occasions. The magic # is 7’3” and up. Weight isn’t really a factor. You can find much stuff on the web, such as…As of 2019, only 26 players in NBA history. Only 12 played over 2 NBA seasons (total games). HOF: Ming, Sampson, Sabonis. Porzingis would probably be the next best (highest PPG on the list). Then you’ve got guys like Smits and Ilgauskas….pretty good players. The 3 HOF guys only have 5-6 seasons of games played due to injuries. Sabonis was 31 when he was finally allowed to come over but went downhill pretty fast. Eaton is the games leader at 875. He was never hurt. It’s a really, really small sample, but it’s worth considering.
