	NBA.com: George Mikan Bio
		George Mikan, a 6-10 giant of a man who possessed superior coordination and a fierce competitive spirit, was one of the prototypes for the dominating tall players of later decades.
		George Mikan was a dominator in the middle for the Lakers.
		Mikan was so hard to defend and to score against, in fact, that the NBA had to change its rules of play in order to keep him from completely overwhelming the league.

		Gowdy reported that the difference between Mikan and Kurland was that Mikan was an offensive weapon with amazing strength to go along with his size and "once he developed a hook shot which he could launch from either side with either hand, Mikan was all but unstoppable.
