5'11" Tommy Kearns Here's an excerpt from an article I found: "Before the championship game, Rosenbluth said, McGuire went down the bench asking each player a question. 'Are you afraid of Chamberlain?' Nobody said yes. Then he sent out the 5-11 Kearns to jump center for the opening tip, while the other four North Carolina players set up in a zone around the Kansas basket. 'I wanted to show them the zone we were going to use,' McGuire was quoted in some newspapers afterward. 'And I wanted to show how ridiculous it is to have anybody jump against Chamberlain. I told some of the photographers to be ready for that picture. It should have been a good one.'" Here's the link to that article. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/columnist/lopresti/2007-03-26-lopresti-1957-unc_N.htm
