The Big Guy Mike Resnick Everyone called him the Big Guy. He was seven feet nine inches tall, strong as a bull, and graceful as a gazelle. I don′t think anyone could pronounce his real name, not even the guys who created him. I remember hearing them refer to him as Ralph-43 a couple of times, which kind of makes you wonder what happened to Ralphs 1 through 42. Still, it was none of my concern. I don′t get paid to think. I get paid to rebound and play defense, and once in a while, when our first two or three options are covered, to put the ball in the hoop-or at least to try. My name′s Jacko Melchik. I′m pretty tall, though nothing like the Big Guy. I′m six feet ten and I weigh 257 pounds. (Well, I did after practice this morning. Now that I′ve had some fluids I′m probably up around 265.) That′s what I am. I′ll tell you what I′m not: strong as a bull or graceful as a gazelle. It was only a matter of time before they went out and got a better center than me, but no one ever anticipated what they wound up with: I don′t know |
