TOWERING over his teammates at 7ft 1in tall, 17-year-old Brave Williams is hoping his height can help propel him to sporting stardom. The 400lb man mountain, a senior at Lake Shore High School in Angola, New York, is already a highly-regarded member of his high school basketball and American football teams. Brave’s growth spurt started early - he was 5ft 3in tall by age five and had reached 6ft 5in by his tenth birthday. Praised by friends and family as a gentle giant, the gigantic teen now lives on the Cattaraugus Reservation in the Seneca Nation of Indians and is looking to catch the eye of scouts and win an athletic scholarship.

I'm actually rooting for him, he seems like a nice kid and has the right mentality
isthisbetterYT? Agree☺️
isthisbetterYT? He is a really cool guy actually, love em
isthisbetterYT? I know him from school. He is a really nice guy
Same. It seems like he's got his head screwed on tight
Vince McMahon likes big Texan bull
Awe his mom is so proud of him, super cute
Glad to know that he is a giant with no side effects. Hope he has a good life
His bones could break easily and he could have a shortened lifespan
0 shortened life span yes as a result of the added pressure on his organs but I doubt doctors would allow him to play football if they though his bones are brittle
@@user-ls6dm3kv4b He needs to lose fat and gain muscle. That will be safer too because it will relieve some pressure from his ligaments.
Name me the oldest tall person you know.... yeah they often dont get that old.
LOL dude look how he walk... he already have body problems. mixed race is not good for genetics
You can see he's such a great kid.
His mom is a great mom obviously.
Beautiful family.
God Bless you all.
He is blessed to have a loving family. Good luck in the future entering the sports world.
doesn't seem like he will have much luck. he is in terrible shape and his legs are seriously underdeveloped

@@erlandgriffith Did you see the parts where she complimented his humility and height?
RAGENKING I was going to comment the same. All they look at is hair😂

adam khan the great kahli
@@juniorelrugrat9977 Yep, in his prime at least... now his physique is kinda meh...
It would take a lot longer. He's kinda chubby here
he’s already shredded, he’s guaranteed stronger than anyone you’ve ever met, the amount of muscle in that mans body is absolutely incredible
@@vtehzkilian5960 I've met this 6'10
Black dude with muscle in a mall.how bout now

Good job grandpa, your son might of been short but your grandson grew to 7 ft 1.

3:15 damn that class had him as security that’s how big he was lol
Lmao
His mom is so sweet, positive, supportive and understanding.
Brave hunter Williams...that's a badass name 👍🏼
Regulargirl Anonymous Native Americans for ya
Regularguy Anonymous he’s not really badass though. Trust me.
There are back Native Americans. And his name is beautiful.
Native American where the tallest people in the world before white people came.
There is a guy on the Navajo indian reservation who is 7'4 and he is only 21.
''5ft3 by 5 years old'' That's when his height really sunk in for me, as a 5ft1 girl.. tf. He could throw me at age 5.
Hahaha I thought the same thing, I'm 5ft2!
Lmfao same
you're a girl. imagine what is like for a guy your height.
S S soo dtf?
Am I tall cause when I was 5 I was 4'6 now it's m 18 and 6'5
Finally a person 7ft that’s not build like a twig and doesn’t look like his bones could break any sec
goatifiedANGEL ON EVERYTHING LOLLLL
Yet their was a man that was 8ft and 11 inches and didn’t looks a stick
Unfortunately as he gets older his joints are going to suffer.
TBK Mercury it was robert persing wadlow
You mean like Shaq?
His Mom is very pretty. She has poured love into him. Love his name. Brave Hunter will be a great Pro name.
@ROE JOGAN DMT APOCALYPSE Neither did many of our epic players initially. They had to develop their skill. Kobe Bryant as a teen, went an entire season and did not score even one point. Michael Jordan was told he could not play, but he humbled himself and asked for help.
@@sharonhunter337 Both MJ and Kobe were athletic!
@@bboystance1670 Not initially. Read their stories.
@@sharonhunter337 Here's Kobe at 15, ruclips.net/video/EX9qsVdXPXY/видео.html. No video on MJ at 15 because he was a late bloomer but he was never 7'1'', so there's no way he was ever as stiff. Regardless, Brave would be 21 now and I follow basketball religiously and I've never heard of him stirring up convo in any basketball league. Do you have any updates on him?
Pro wrestling is the future of this guy he needs to go to the wwe performance center very soon.
Wait... his great uncle was 7'5" ?? And they question why he's tall? Lmao you have a family member that is almost as tall as the tallest man in the world and you thought there was something wrong when he's tall...bahaha
He said tallest man In the world
Dimethyl Tryptamine in the world
His great great* his Mum probably didn’t find out till an older family member mentioned it
Maybe the family weren't too sure if he was healthy as his uncle or if it was a sickness in his body that is making him tall
Well back in the day they may not have tested for acromegaly. It's good to know you're healthy.
imagine if this dude was aggressive.
MD lol
*THE PIZZA IS AGGRESSIVE*
coolio diablo 😂😂😂😂 this was funny as hell.
MD. 🏃
It’s always the giants that are gentle look at world strong men competitions 90% of them are softies
It’s relieving seeing someone around my height (he’s an inch taller) and showing that we’re not all just giant monsters who have no personality
Imagine being 7’1 and still can’t dunk. Couldn’t be me
@@xXSTOLENxXxCULTXx bro come on vert? All he would need is 6 inches mayb 8 to slamm it
Kadenxharvey _ dam it why’d u say it 😂🤣🤣
Kadenxharvey _ without a dunk he has no chance in b ball. And of course to stay away from the extra gravy
Marcelo Serrano u don’t need to dunk. Just to be in basketball 🤨
@my name is DRAKE pretty sure he dunks too.
Amen to you ma'am. God has a purpose in life for this young man.
He seems like such a nice guy with a bright future, as his mom predicts.
Moms brushing his hair at 1:20 is a beautiful scene!!
Love that he carries his culture proudly 👏🏽
He seems so sweet and kind hearted
How you 7'1 an can't dunk for shit
Haha your right
Lol no skills
And just think shaq is the same size but used to run from one side of the court to the other when he was a rookie
His Mom really seems like a genuinely sweet lady & he seems to be a reflection of that
Wish my mom was like her.
You can tell he doesn’t have gigantism, considering he can actually move around at a normal pace, gigantism limits movement a lot
Seiriously??? he runs like a disabled person.
I hit 5'3 at 13, now I'm 21 and still 5'3.
that sucks
leslierox789 girls stop growing earlier than boys.
You are a girl, girls stop growing a lot earlier obviously
Girl stop growing in height at 16
My little sister is 17 she's been 5'10 since 14
Amazing kid. Best wishes to him in his life.
Mom did a great job at being mom can we all go focus on that for a second
Hi5 mom
The NBA will be calling him soon. Such a gentle giant. Sweet spirit
No they won't, he's out of shape and they don't call you on height alone, he needs outstanding skills as well.
Seems like a good kid. That's pretty damn rare these days
Friendly Giant.
I think it’s awesome! Especially since he’s Native American. Love my people!
His mother seems like a fantastic mama,too!
And some girls would still reject him for not being 8 ft+
🗿
Pro baller........better get crackin' on some skill training
Vertical Jump World.com he can’t do a standing dunk @7’1😂
Prime ShotZ It’s harder because he’s pretty big and probably can’t jump too high cuz it’s if his weight.
He has to train more to get more muscle. You can see that he has allready problems with his body.
it's because he's overweight.
He's overweight? No shit Sherlock
@@SuperPSTutorials umm no its becuase hes too tall
3:16
That black kid tonging his lips cracked me up lol
his mom is a sweet heart❤❤❤
I am the only one that thinks that her mom is really pretty? (sorry for the grammar, i dont speack eanglish very well)
Valen Its a guy
lol eanglish
Valen. "His" not "her" and "English" not "Eanglish"
just you
Valen I am very disappointed own height I am 6 feet Tall Boy. 24 years old but I am Want only 5 feet 10 inch height
Hes 17 and ppl be hating lol
He will do great things 😎👍
He will find his place 👍
He got this 👍👍👍😎
I love the mom. She seems like a great parent.
he has a warrior gene, if he was born 500 years ago and could wield a sword he would be a legend
true however those guys were most likely targeted first in battles by multiple opponents
@@aleksc4376 ?He mean not war battle
He mean like gladiators wars
We’re u fight with animals and other 1 v 1
this kid has a decent chance but he definitely needs to check his diet and get a little bit more coordinated
justin m yeah, he needs better movement.
justin m yeahhhh doesn't appear to be very graceful on the court. Alot of people assume just because your tall you would automatically make a great athlete or be good at a sport
I don’t think you can make yourself more coordinated unfortunately.
RobSchneiderIsAStapler you can if you work on it. Mainly speed, balance, and mobility
justin m I hate to say it but he has almost zero chance. That weight at such a young age, man it only gets harder to get into shape as you get older! If you're not in prime athletic condition in your late teens it's going to be a major struggle to reach full athletic potential by early/mid 20s
Good on him prioritizing studies
Man, forget sports. Be a big smart guy! We need more of those!
3:11 his shirt makes it so much better
He might be tall but doesn't look like he moves very well.
People his size are usually so nice. It's good because he could do so much damage not even trying. I'm sure hes gonna make great things happen.
tru, this teen can easily lift a 190lbs guy with just one arm
@@appelscha23 absolutely..... imagine how that feels. I'm 6 foot 4 and I'm usually the tallest guy in the room. But when I see someone 6 foot 8 it's like wow. So I get how a smaller person feel for a moment. This kids on another level.
And people very short are usually the meanest
He ripped off the pantry door to get snacks....I can relate. 😂
A sweet kid and a super loving family...that's truly Giant!!!💝
Is that kid in the middle at 3:13 the Deez nuts guy, when he was little?
*Heavy Breathing* lmfao
*Heavy Breathing* haha he learned how to look straight now i guess
*Heavy Breathing* lmao im dead
Minecraft Kid haha fuck off "minecraft kid"
+Baltazar Borrego go back to Mexico you immigrant
He seems like an intelligent young man. I'm sure he'll do great things in life even beyond sports.
I wish him the best. Hope he doesn’t have any side effects for being a big tall man.
Beautiful strong mom raised a passionate, level headed and respectable young man and what an amazing name 'Brave' love it. Good job with the other family members.. kudos to your team. I'll be following the sports looking out for Brave.
This dude is so chill
10 Years old and 6'6?!?!?!
I'm 11 and 4ft 6in
My cousin is 6’6 but he’s 13
His mom is so supportive and sweet!!!
Wishing this tall young man a happy & healthy life, he'll do well , whatever he chooses. Good Luck Brave.
"How hungry are you!?" 😂😂
Takes more than height to be an athlete.
He said he wants to go to college first he's not really worried about being a athlete right now his mom even said he stays on the honor roll that's not his focus right now
As long as he doesn't gt mad... he's a gentle giant
.
No gaurantee he's any good at sports just cause he's big
He can train
He's probably going to end up becoming a pro wrestler.
Looks like they didnt start training him early enough.
@@AC-ql5gb definitely didn't absolutely no sports coordination
He's got the benefit of size but looks like he is banking on size without realising size alone doesn't guarantee success in sports. Not trying to be mean but his reflexes don't look great and if he wants to get into sports I can tell by his build he really isn't. That focused on it
He lacks athleticism. Same height as shaq at 7'1" but he can't dunk. At least not easily as he should be able to. Maybe if he works his ass off, gets in shape, he could make it on a team somewhere, but stardom is highly unlikely.. If he reaches his uncles height of 7'5" it would help a lot. That would put him at the top of height even for the nba.
nybiggs u dum right pleas don't tell me! yao ming was 7'7 and he was in the nba yao ming was tall cuse he had a diseases that was making him grow he was near 8 foot tall when doctor operated on him he shank to 7'7
Victor Bogen I don't understand what you are trying to say. Your grammar was terrible. Are you trying to say that tall people can't be in the nba? I don't get it.
Yao Ming was 7'5". But he was athletic. He could fade away with ease, hook, or just face up and dunk it. This guy is 7'1" can't shoot, and even worse probably can't dunk from right under the rim...
Okay. So you edited your post and you still don't make sense. What is your point? What does yao ming's height have to do with this guy? Reread my original post, and then read yours and tell me why you are talking about Yao Ming.
nybiggs Yao Ming is 7'6"
Lucius Fucius Listed at 7'6" and then stood an inch shorter than 7'6" Shawn Bradley. But I'm not going to argue about an inch with you. He was tall.
Victor Bogen Yao Ming 7'6" and Manute Bol is the tallest standing at 7'7"....
I actually see him going somewhere in life like this won't be the last we hear of him definitely not
Brave Williams, you are a star. Always be brave, and never be afraid to be yourself!
He is gifted. I hope he stays motivated and determined to accomplish his goals.
good for him I hope everything goes his way God bless
He seems very nice and cool while everyone is bashing him about basketball and football. In order to be good at something, you have to practice, put in time and stumble,that is what he is doing.Practice is key!! Stop bashing him, hope all his dreams come true, keep your head up.
The Goddess Dayanara I agree! I love seeing positive comments like this ❤
mariposabella89 thanks! So many people are being negative for no reason..
The Goddess Dayanara Everyone at school is always rooting for our giant Brave
The Goddess Dayanara You're welcome ☺ They are probably just jealous! They probably wish they receive the attention he does plus he is a very attractive young man with a bright future.
The Goddess Dayanara sometimes you're just naturally good.. don't need practice
When he said “when I was 5 yEaRs oLd I wAs 5’3” my heart stared beating like I’m 16 and I’m 5,3 and I have a feeling I’m going to be like that foreva
Hate to break it to you but you're most likely not gonna grow anymore. At least not in height. 5'3 is not that short for a female.
Chantelle B Average woman is 5’4 and doesn’t stop growin til 18 on average. Average man 5’9 and doesn’t stop growin til 23 on average. Js
He is the definition of a gentle giant
This dude is literally The Great Khali as a kid
Vaudesir but don't know what a gym is
The Great Khali 7.3 ft
rip knees
He is very handsome . Just take care of him , eat healthy , work out etc . God bless this family !
Cold, harsh reality he has zero athletic ability.
exactly! he should focus on academics and not sports. he will never make a career in sport, when he cannot run or jump.
Maybe he can try acting.
True; but, practice makes perfect
He can try wrestling
Or bodybuilding/power lifting
he seems more Samoan that african american probably his dad is samoan
I think his dad is Native American, that's what he looked like in the family shot
OneBigN00B yeah his mom looks native American too maybe half native half black then his dad is full native American
OneBigN00B he is Half Seneca Native and half Black
Mia Waffle his mum looks fully black though.
He's Tribe of GAD Nation of Israel; his father is GAD(Native American) and his mom is Judah.You are
what your father is.
This was pretty cool to watch
What a super great loving mom!!
That's a really proud mom
He seems like a cool kid
Sign him to WWE.
NYCrazyRob the next Great Kgali. He's already got the moves down. He can barely move.
taoist40 weak as hell...😂😂😂😂😂
NYCrazyRob lol I think this kid has delusions. Height is not the only factor agents look for. Skill is number one, which he has none.
Wow I went to high school with him I never knew he was on this show
Wendy Vinshlikapoltz anyone who is different at all can get on this show
He will never be a true athlete. He is slow.
@@Kermit46 he just needs lose some weight
What an awesome guy with an awesome family! Wish him the best!
he needs to hit gym asap and eat clean
nasir D'jiir hey that's mean your calling him fat but he is not
@@janayacoub5433 he's not calling him fat. He's just saying he needs to hit the gym and eat clean to get into better shape. The kid has great potential but he's definitely goutta get into shape. Any real trainer will tell him that. I hope the kid goes as far and follows his dreams.
Epicholiday123 ya he needs to work on athletic abilitiy if he trying to make nba at all because he’s 7’1 and from the looks of it he can’t dunk
What are you his mother ?
I agree he need to be competitive and is able to be beaten by conditioned 6 foot 4 men that are peak human in their sport.
Imagine being bullied by him at kindergarten 😂 he can have my candy ,my lunch, my money, I can do homework for him too 😂
He seems like a great kid with a great personality.
Any updates 2019?
I think he looks just amazing and it's so inspiring to see how he takes his situation so positively...with that kind of height he could do so many sports activities and work out so easily 😍
Alexa Copeland People like you are the reason some kids or people doesn't wanna stand up for themselves...shame on you...seriously??? "size queen alert !" wtf is wrong with you...I'm also a teenager is it wrong to see someone with genetic conditions doing well in life...
as if I asked for your opinion 😒
Nazia Gomez he doesnt have a medical condition tho
Malonge Shlong yeah whatever...
Malonge Shlong ewww...no thanks
Can this kid even dunk dude just lays it in
I LOVE that he actually can stand in his home.
This guy is just a blessing
