I know this is my second video in one day, but hey, what eighties baby can resist the Transformers? While I have a dim memory of seeing this when it aired, I don't think my immediate reaction then was to scout Prime. Seems like he's a Yao-like agile monolith, until they hit the court for real and he skies over everyone. Combine that with his good guy role and you're looking at a bigger, more mature, more metallic Dwight Howard. Then he starts getting fancy with his ball-handling, which would put him a class by himself.

And we don't even know where Stern would stand on Prime turning into a truck mid-possession--even LeBron doesn't bring that skill to the table.
