 NBA Draft WiretapSun Mingming Hopes To Become Yao Ming Part IISun Mingming, who is two inches taller than Yao, has attended a training camp in the United States and hopes to be picked in the NBA draft next month, the South China Morning Post reported Sunday. If the 22-year-old Sun is signed by an NBA team, he would become the tallest player in league history. Gheorghe Muresan and Manute Bol, at 7-foot-7, are the tallest players in NBA history.
