布拉德利在NBA最高的木材之战中输给了穆雷桑(注:指比分,非身高)
By Deseret News Feb 9, 1994
Brad Rock
NBA历史上最高的对决不是几周前,当时身高7'6的肖恩·布拉德利与同样是7'6的前迈阿密中锋马努特·波尔排成一队。上周76人遇到子弹。这意味着布拉德利要与7'7乔治·穆雷桑对抗。
无论如何,关于谁是NBA第二大球员似乎有些争论。“我比马努特高,”布拉德利上周说。“我不知道是他缩水了,或者我长高了,或者诸如此类的事情,但是我们并肩测量着身材,而且我更高。我不认为马努特的身高是7'7。我不认为他勉强过7'6。正如那里的某人说:‘马努特,你不再是国王。’ ”很奇怪的是,在布拉德利与穆雷桑的比赛中,布拉德利仅得到6分4个篮板,而穆雷桑只有11分11篮板。

BRADLEY LOST BATTLE OF NBA'S TALLEST TIMBER TO MURESAN

The tallest matchup in NBA history wasn't several weeks ago when 7-foot-6 Shawn Bradley lined up with former Miami center Manute Bol, who is also 7-6. It was last week, when the Sixers met the Bullets. That meant Bradley was going against 7-7 Gheorge Muresan.
It seems there's some debate as to who is the second-biggest player in the NBA, anyway. "I'm taller than Manute," Bradley said last week. "I don't know if he's shrunk, or I've grown or whatnot, but we measured up side to side, and I'm taller. I don't think Manute's 7-7. I don't think he's barely 7-6. As someone who is there said, `Manute, you're not the king no more.' "Oddly enough, in the Bradley-Muresan matchup, Bradley finished with just six points and four rebounds, compared to 11 points and 11 rebounds for Muresan.

7'5“学生Shawn Bradley可以清楚地看到职业选手的路

肖恩·布拉德利确实是校园里的大个子。当他的埃默里高中篮球队在家打球时,犹他州达勒城堡的一半人(只有大约2,000人)出来观看。孩子们排队为他签名,并以他为宠物命名。而且他的名声远不止这个煤矿开采农业社区:布拉德利获得了107所大学的奖学金,这使他成为美国最受追捧的高中运动员之一。“多年来,很多人因为我的身高而取笑我,”肖恩说,他17岁时是7'5英寸,并认为他已经停止成长。“但是我无视他们。我一直想,“总有一天我会做点好事的。” ”
也许是美国最高的业余篮球运动员(在职业选手中,只有7'7英寸的Manute Bol排名最高),布拉德利也很敏捷。
...
身高是Bradley的特质。肖恩9岁的妹妹阿德里亚娜身高4'10。15岁的塔莎6'。13岁的贾斯汀弟兄身高6'3,已经受到球探的注视。40岁的医学实验室技术员父亲Reiner是6'8",而38岁的代课老师妈妈Teresa是6'。但是即使在这样的公司中,肖恩也能脱颖而出。Reiner回忆说:“到他2岁时,每个人都将他误认为4岁。” “我们住过的陡峭山丘。他会把它放下来,好像他要倒在鼻子上一样。但是他从来没有。即使在那时他也得到了协调。”
这样的高度有不利之处。Shawn的八英尺长的床必须特制,而他的42英寸长的裤子必须是手工缝制的。他还有一个体重问题:“我现在是210岁,我的目标是大学240或250。”

7'5" Schoolboy Shawn Bradley Can See His Way Clear to the Pros
By People Staff February 12, 1990 12:00 PM
Shawn Bradley is truly the big man on campus. When his Emery High basketball team plays at home, half the people of Castle Dale, Utah—there are only about 2,000 of them—turn out to watch. Kids line up for his autograph and name their pets after him. And his fame has spread far beyond this coal mining-farming community: Bradley was offered scholarships by 107 colleges, making him one of the most highly sought after high school athletes in the nation. “Over the years, a lot of people have teased me because of my height,” says Shawn, who at 17 is 7’5″ and thinks he has stopped growing. “But I ignored them. I always figured, ‘Someday I’ll do something good with it.’ ”
Perhaps the tallest amateur hoopster in the country—in the pros, only 7’7″ Manute Bol tops him—Bradley is also agile.
...
Height is a Bradley trait. Shawn’s sister Adrianne, 9, is 4’10”. Tasha, 15, is 6′. Brother Justin, 13, is 6’3″ and already being eyed by scouts. Dad Reiner, 40, a medical lab technician, is 6’8″, and mom Teresa, 38, a substitute teacher, is 6′. But even in such company, Shawn stands out. “By the time he was 2, everybody was mistaking him for a 4-year-old,” recalls Reiner. “There was a steep hill where we lived. He’d charge down it, looking like he was going to fall flat on his nose. But he never did. He was coordinated even then.”
There are downsides to such heights. Shawn’s eight-foot-long bed had to be specially made, and his 42-inch trousers must be hand-sewn. He also has a weight problem: “I’m 210 now, and I’m aiming for 240 or 250 for college.”

这个身高7英尺6的中锋(据传身高已增长到7-7英寸)要等到本月底才能从****返回澳大利亚。他像布莱根·杨新生一样,在轻盈的车架上摊下了210磅的柳树(据传言现在少了……现在增加了30磅)。两年来他没有参加过有组织的篮球对抗大学比赛。
...
勇士队侦察长埃德·格雷戈里(Ed Gregory)的负责人说:“从来没有像他这样的人参加过篮球比赛。他的身高是7-6、7-7,而且很协调。他将成为一个因素。他的技术和Manute一样大。”

The 7-foot-6 center (rumored to have grown an inch to 7-7) won't return from a Mormon mission to Australia until the end of the month. He spread a willowy 210 pounds (rumored to less then... and 30 pounds more now) on a lithe frame as a Brigham Young freshman. He hasn't played organized basketball against college-level competition in two years.
...
Said Warriors Director of Scouting Ed Gregory: "There's never been anybody like him in basketball. He's 7-6, 7-7, and coordinated. He's going to be a factor. He's as big as Manute with skills."
