Well mom, I am no genealogy expert, but no Gortat I have ever known can play basketball worth a lick! Now, Jeff might be able to hoop it up a bit, but that's only because of his "Woody genes"; nothing Gortat about his stunning stature!
By the way, where are Jeff and Liz - haven't seen the Liz-meister, Mistress of Communication, poke her little blog head in for a while and I don't think Jeff has even accepted the invite!
But I digress...back to my main point. That is, I do not believe someone with any natural basketball talent could be a Gortat. I know Grandpa was a sports-minded type fellow, but I think he was more on the football side of things. You know, what Gortats are really known for, brute force.
Now probably some of Tom's kids (I think I asked for their emails to include them in on this thing, but ahem I have yet to receive them)...anyway, I think maybe his daughters played basketball, but my guess is there is a giantess somewhere in Carol's family tree. But, that's just a guess.
Really, the best evidence in support of my theory is Jason, Aaron and Ryan. Famous for four hour games of P-I-G (because no one could make a shot in the first place that someone had to miss), these boys have to be the worst of the worst when it comes to trying to hit the broad side of the barn with a basketball.
So, at this point mom, partially out of lack of time and no real skill in genealogy, but mainly out of incredulity that it is even possible a basketball-playing Gortat could be related to me, I am going to pass.
Now, if you wanted me to research my relations to say a world-record-holder-in-couch-napping Gortat, well, then we could talk.
Love you Mom! =)
