The anecdote isn't compelling to you, maybe, but when studies have shown that played 7'0" and over are way more prone to injuries and guys 7'2" and seemingly always injured, it's pretty darn compelling to me.
Bradley? Missed a ton of games. Ming? Missed a ton of games and retired early. Bol? Injuured a lot. Muresan, same.
Same for Sabonis (7'3"), Thabeet (7'3") and KP (7'3")
Even Tacko Fall is injured and he's only in his first season.
