The church we played basketball at wasn't a full-size court so we used that to justify playing full court even though the handbook said not to ("guys, it's not 'full court' if the court isn't regulation size") and one time he was near the basket as I came running down from the other side on a fast break. I collided with him while he was stationary--not intentionally, he had his back to me and I was looking back for a possible pass--but he didn't move. It was disturbing how stout he was.

Also he could post up whenever he felt like against whomever he felt like (usually me, because I was the other "big" guy on the floor).
