Mark Eaton could touch the rim without jumping. Seriously. Listed at 7'3 3/4" (or 7'4" depending on which magazine you read) with the reach of a man 8 feet tall. He blocked innumerable shots, many without having to jump. Will forever be remembered, by me at least, as the guy Abdul-Jabbar sky-hooked over to surpass Chamberlain.
utah had a better chance to win a title with eaton, stockton, and malone in 1988 than in 1997 and 1998 when they did go to the finals

nonplayer...was #54 of the Jazz "Dinner Bell" Mel Turpin himself??? I thought he had eaten himself out of the league by '88. What a waste of talent
