It’s hard to forget someone who is 7-4 and a revolutionary talent but to a certain extent Ralph Sampson has indeed been forgotten.
One of the tallest NBA players of all time - only eight players have been taller and none expect 7-4 Rick Smits and 7-3 Arvydas Sabonis come close to his level of agility and athleticism - Sampson could do things that we’ve never seen before and arguably haven’t seen since.
A combination of injuries and immaturity robbed the game of what should have been a transcendent talent. Sampson was so athletic that he lobbied to play point guard.
