According to this- assuming it's complete- there have been 26 players in the history of the NBA that were 7'3 or taller. As near as I can tell, Mark Eaton is the only guy on that list who wasn't injury prone.
It may not be a scientific study, but common sense tells me that 25 out of 26 is a trend. |
Kareem was 7'2" and had very few injury problems and an exceptionally long career. Most of the 7'3"+ guys usually weighed around 280 to 300 pounds which is why they had a lot of injuries
KP & Kareem played at 240 pounds
