never seen them play but from what i have read they have some nice potential. hopefully they can stay healthy and play well! you cant teach size so they got a leg up already.

this is awesome. i just pray that like most 7+ footers they can avoid endless knee problems/injuries and have a successful career if they do go somewhere!

they are insanely tall. Sim played for our high school before leaving to another high school and then now to the states. They both have a sick future ahead of them if they keep at it.

More exposure would be great for the community but I don't think it would solve a lot of the racist/ignorant stereotypes. Look at African Americans in the NBA, NFL, and hell even Presidency...they are still in the same boat.

I guess its up to the individual his or her self to make the change and educate the people around him or her.

Difference is most people don't even know where Punjab is or what continent it is in. If nothing else people will find out that this group of people named Punjabis exist.

True, it doesn't change the stereotypes and ignorance many people hold but it would be nice to see a couple young Punjabis be elite athletes in the United States.
