7-foot 14-year-old from India is ready to follow in Yao's footsteps
Size, in and of itself, is no guarantee when it comes to trying to predict NBA stardom. Or even a chance at an NBA roster.
Through the years, we've seen countless 7-footers from several countries fall short, so to speak, time and time again when it comes to trying to hold their own at the NBA level. The Americans clearly lead the league in failing at this aspect, but a dozen other countries have flubbed as well.
One country that hasn't taken to the ring, or the court, yet? India. And though this massive nation hasn't had a player play or even be drafted by an NBA team, it's not easy to see why Satnam Singh Bhamara might not be the exception to the rule. After all, the 7-footer has scouts drooling over his skills.
The catch?
He's only 14.
But he's also 7-feet tall.
Once again, if you missed that: 7-feet tall, and 14 years of age.
You're saying the truth, but you wait until the Spurs have the better record to comment. In either case, it doesn't matter, because Spurs are going nowhere this year, like every year. I understand they're your team, but at least accept the fact that they're not getting past the first round of Playoffs, if that.
