He started on a finals team, and scored in double digits. He actually had some offensive skills, not just size and strength like those dudes. Rambis was also a step above Kite, Krystko, and Wolf, since he was a major role player on a great team.

Every team has totally exhausted their quota of big men, so now we need point guards and wingmen to fill out the rosters!
