RIP Big Bob Lanier

[Ohioplayer00]

Another big like Unseld who was tough as nails!!! Could score inside and out. A nice sweeping hook shot! His size 22 shoes are in the HOF (although it’s reported his feet were real more like 18 1/2!!!

Yes. Bob ranged from 270-280 and was 6 11. Think of Andre Drummond with a deadly jump shot, say, like Al Horford. I remember one game where he dueled with Campy Russell and both scored 38 and the Pistons won.

As a size 14 guy, he was always a favorite of mine. Led St. Bonaventure to a final four a long time ago, I believe. And whatever size they are , his shoes are enormous. Saw them at the HOF in the 80s and my ex has a picture of my sneaks held up to Bob's. RIP to a skilled big guy.

I wear size 10.5

Some people have always been intimidated by them so I get this.

RIP
