Off the subject a little bit, but you hardly ever see very tall old people either.

Yep, makes me especially worried about Shaq. If he packs on the pounds once he stops playing, I don't know how his heart is going to make it. Even Wilt Chamberlain didn't make it out of his 60s.

Shaq is a big man anyway, not just in height. He must weigh in the 300s already, and definitely will get fatter after he retires. I read somewhere that the average life expectancy of NFL football players is 56.
