I understand, I just thought it was weird how NBA and ESPN have a 50 pound difference in what they list him as.

Man, it’d be sweet to be 7′1″… well, maybe except for having to duck all the time to get into the next room, haha.

I’ll bet when he gets his weight up, he could take on a Shaquille O’Neal of older days. It’d be a good battle, especially with Samb’s jumper.

Right So im just picking in between and giving him 220ish for his weight. He needs to be a legit 250.

Dang, Samb is like a foot taller than me and only 40 pounds heavier?

He is a good player though, I expect him to be an awesome center in the future.

But nba.com has him listed at 245:

Born: Oct 22, 1984
Height: 7-1 / 2,16
Weight: 245 lbs. / 111,1 kg.
From: Senegal
Years Pro: 1

ESPN has it at the 195 mark though:

Birth Date October 22, 1984
Birth Place Dakar, Senegal
Height 7-1
Weight 195 lbs.
