@@geraldsee9827 yea that makes it kinda embarrassing that he cant even jog like a human. He will be out of the league in 2 years if he doesnt change that.
Despite his parent's heights, who may have been malnourished in Communist Romania or he might be like Wilt and have taller distant relatives, he obviously has some good genes despite the tumor. He was relatively nimble, and his sons ended up not too shy of 7' without any pituitary disorder.
Me and my sis did a basketball camp with this guy and he was the perfect coach. He challenged us a lot even though we were kids at the time but he was super encouraging especially when my sister would get discouraged sometimes and helped us find our best selves. Hope I get to talk to him again soon lol
I'm taking a nutrition class right now with his wife. I didn't even realize who her husband was until she casually mentioned she moved because her husband got drafted to the NBA. I immediately looked him up and my jaw is still on the floor. Muresan put up hella respectable numbers for the Wizards! 14.5 PPG / 9.6 Rebounds / 2.26 blocks / 58.4% fg in 95-96 season. What a beast!
I saw this guy in person. During the off season, the Washington Bullets played the New York Knicks in St. Louis at a pre-season game in Kiel Center. My dad said, "He looks like Lurch from Adams Family", and the entire section loved it. He didn't have to jump to dunk the basketball.
Just met this guy at work today! I work at a pharmacy in a wealthy part of Maryland that I also happen to live in, and he just showed up. SUPER nice guy, and really funny too. He was buying a prescription; he barely made it through the doorway lol
"his dentist was also a basketball referee"... and (according to the footage) the boss of an international drug cartel and mild-mannered manager of an Alberqueque fast food chain. Busy guy.
I got to meet him at his summer camp he's such a great guy and i remeber that the kids there used to ask him all day long "did you ever meet Michael Jordan or Kobe or you ever talked to them?". He's such a humble guy.
His other son is currently a senior in high school and he goes to my school. Also, the picture you showed at 4:08 is not Gheorghe Jr. it’s the one who goes to my school named Victor.
If you do videos about heights or weights can you also include the metric system? As someone from europe its annyoing to pause the video and check how tall or heavy someone exactly is
He came into my old workplace one time, dude literally had to duck and weave underneath all the hanging signs. His height was intimidating at first but he had a lovely personality.
All my chilodhood I thought basketball players are over 2m height. My lye of life because of Ghiță Mureșan. As a romanian its too funny how the speaker pronounces „Gheorghe Muresan”.
I passed him in a mall in Northern Va about 8 years ago. He was so bent over I hardly recognized him. It looked like his back was f'd up to the point that he couldn't stand straight. Hopefully it was temporary.
A short story... I am from Greece ....in summer of 2007, I was on board of a small ferry , on a brief route (4,5 miles) to and from the island of Evia. There were just a few people on board . At a certain point, I see two kids going to the caffe' of the ferry, alongside their mom....a very cute lady that to my eyes seemed easily taller than me (I stand on 1,85m). Having nothing better to do, I tried to look for her husband, being simply curious to see how tall should be the man of that woman. Her husband was actually Muresan!! They obviously were on family vacation .The man could not stand on his feet correctly in the internal spaces of the ferry, because the roof wasn't high enough! Exit through the doors to the external deck...was a real problem. Then I saw him driving his car, a Mercedes klasse E station wagon , that is not what you call ... a small car (at least for european standards) . Now...he could barely find enough space on the driver's seat , in order to drive properly. His knees were almost at the level of the window. A totally respectable athlete!! (Check out Constatin Popa,also.... another Romanian former bb player who also played and worked as a coach in USA and stands on 2,21m)
So basically a dentist said “you should be in the NBA” and Gheorghe was like “wow I have to do it now”
The dentist knows best 🤷🏽♂️
not funny try again
@@Wood_art_ cringe little kid from a 3rd world country acting like he's made of tough shit

Imagine going to the dentiste and becoming bball player
yeah i wish i had a dentist like that 😂
Imagine being 7 foot and needing a dentist to tell you basketball might be your thing 🤦🏽♂️
Basketball isn t very popular in Romania
The dentist everyone wanted to meet 😂😂
Imagine his growing pains
i had a 3 “ griwth spurt i know the feeling im no 5’3” 😆
Imagine playing against the bullets and seeing a 7’7 man guarding you
Yea no
This guy puts in more work than I did for college
Muggsy bogues:😐
- Literally everyone
He's a great guy. Used to come into the wine shop I worked at.
As a Romanian I am very proud that a Romanian is the tallest nba player!!!
Gheorge’s oldest son “George” plays for “George” Town university 😑
Okay dude, listen, we, Romanians, Like to keep it simple
@@dennisgalenco2198 bruh
HAHAHAHHAHA
His dog name also George
I remember Chris Webber saying Muresan was a very funny teammate. When players took a shit he just looked in the toilet cabinet from above lol.
lol
Stalker
Only running coach in history, try zion williamson
zion 6’6 lol
But he’s a fatass lol
@@geraldsee9827 yea that makes it kinda embarrassing that he cant even jog like a human. He will be out of the league in 2 years if he doesnt change that.
@@james-ee3lc Stfu, fym "fat ass" he be doing windmills, while your fatass cant touch the net
@@1ksprite963 stop comparing him to regular people. Compare him to other professional athletes. Otherwise you destroy your own argument.
The dentist saw his potential.
Hey you have huge molders you can play ball.
:))
in Greece we remembered him from Cliff Levingston's incredible dunk.
Also second rate Greek center Christos Tsekos, former javelin player, erased him
FYI when you see a "ș" in a name just replace it with "sh". For ex we would correctly read Mureșan as Mureshan :D
yup
Same with š
Exact.
His first name is also pronounce more like yor-geh not George
My best friends coach is Gheorghe muresan
Edit: thanks for the 69 likes!!!!
The only thing I’m going down Is in history dude I know you lol
BECAUSE IM ON BOTH ACCOUNTS LOL
The only thing I’m going down Is in history oooooooooo
Lol julian
The only thing I’m going down Is in history are you serious?
I was a big fan of Gheorghe. I often wonder how good he could have been if he grew up around the game. The Ghita! His commercials were great too.
Despite his parent's heights, who may have been malnourished in Communist Romania or he might be like Wilt and have taller distant relatives, he obviously has some good genes despite the tumor. He was relatively nimble, and his sons ended up not too shy of 7' without any pituitary disorder.
True

dentist: looks at a tall kids teeth...
georhge: what?
dentist: ball
got to meet Mureșan at a game a few years ago. he was cool! made me look even shorter than I already am
I saw this guy in person. During the off season, the Washington Bullets played the New York Knicks in St. Louis at a pre-season game in Kiel Center.
My dad said, "He looks like Lurch from Adams Family", and the entire section loved it. He didn't have to jump to dunk the basketball.
For super-tall people their bodies always give out. :(
that s a real romanian legend
So his height was caused by a tumor but his sons ended up being 6'9 and 6'10?? Is his wife super tall or something?
She's 6'2"
Just met this guy at work today! I work at a pharmacy in a wealthy part of Maryland that I also happen to live in, and he just showed up. SUPER nice guy, and really funny too. He was buying a prescription; he barely made it through the doorway lol

I remember trick or treating at his house. Very tall, also very nice.
Did you just got reversed card? He trick or treat you instead LMAO
I got to meet him at his summer camp he's such a great guy and i remeber that the kids there used to ask him all day long "did you ever meet Michael Jordan or Kobe or you ever talked to them?". He's such a humble guy.
Funny how the 2 tallest players ever wanted to play soccer instead of basketball
in Gheorghe Muresan's case, it's because basketball was not popular at all at that time in Romania, unlike football (soccer)
Pretty much nobody plays basketball in romania, have yet to see a basketball court there.
Football is more popular here in Romania usually
"Gheorghe's older son, named George, plays for Georgetown University."
I bet Mureșan got a kick out of helping set that up.
Omul ăsta ne face țara fericita
Jordan was so good that even taking a picture with his cardboard cutout was enough to get you drafted.
His other son is currently a senior in high school and he goes to my school. Also, the picture you showed at 4:08 is not Gheorghe Jr. it’s the one who goes to my school named Victor.
benstern210 he goes to my school too
How tall is he

Who remembers the Snickers commercial with the Gheorge Muresan cologne?
Imagine having a healthcare system were you would've died early if there wasnt a Basketball Team paying for your Operation and med. Care :S
One my favorite movies was my giant with billy crystal.
I used to see him back in the days in an Aro vehicle with no front seat on, he was driving from the back seat of the car. : - ) ) )
I met this guy irl he was my basketball coach for a season
Didn’t Zion also get a running coach?
Taco Native you mean zee-on Williamson?
my giant was a pretty good movie.
I saw him today at a wizards game he’s crazy tall. Ik ofc he his but I’m 6 ft 13 and go to bellow his shoulder
I thought Manute and Gheorge were the same exact height, but I guess I am wrong.
No your actually right
Period
@Greg A Manute was 7'7,and Gheorge is around 7'7 and a half, a little Lower.
@Greg A yeah theyre wrong. Muresan was only half an inch taller, manute was 7'7.
They both 7'6 with shoes
All my chilodhood I thought basketball players are over 2m height. My lye of life because of Ghiță Mureșan. As a romanian its too funny how the speaker pronounces „Gheorghe Muresan”.
Can you please record movie in hands Georga Muresan?
RIP manute bol May you rest in peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️😭😭😭😭😭😭 we wish you were here still with us today may you rest in peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️😭😭😭😭😭😭
Proud to be romanian
My giant is a good movie...
The NBA is dream come true.
0:52 "FOOTBALL"
Ye
In Romania American football is not big , so we just call soccer football
balonpicior
tlachtli, pok-to-pok
So if his genetics were for a short person and he just had a tumor why are his kids still NBA height?
video: GEORGE
every romanian: GHEORGHE
Is his number 77 because he’s 7 foot 7
haricharan yes your smart 😂
The only NBA game I´ve assisted to was one of the Bullets vs (can´t even remember) I was a big fan of the Washinton Bullets.
I passed him in a mall in Northern Va about 8 years ago. He was so bent over I hardly recognized him. It looked like his back was f'd up to the point that he couldn't stand straight. Hopefully it was temporary.

A totally respectable athlete!!
(Check out Constatin Popa,also.... another Romanian former bb player who also played and worked as a coach in USA and stands on 2,21m)
He was better than Manute bol but never gets the respect he deserves
I’m 5’5” but if I go to the dentist next week.......who knows maybe NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB, WWE, UFC, WBA.....the possibilities are Unlimited !
wnba
That dentist is Gustavo Fring. Lol
You forgot to add how this guy helps you go 12-0
"Gheorghe's oldest son, named George, plays for Georgetown... and we didn't make this up..." ... had to smile :D
Craig Kilborn as a clip plays of Muresan missing a crucial shot: "He can create!"
So he was a 7ft tall 15 year old and nobody considered basketball until he went to the dentist??
Dentist: ThE GoLdEn GrIn CaSiNo HaS MoRe To OfFeR ThAn CrApS AnD CaRds
Doesn't even need to jump to dunk lol
Romania forta
He's not pronounced like the English George. Ge(like in get)-or-ge.
Also "Marușan" is pronounced like "marooshan", not "maroosan" right?

Muersan has nice touch .
His father is only 5'9
Yooo the dentists cut scene is from Payday 2 yaaaay
He was born in my country eyyy
if his height isnt genetic then why are his sons so tall
Mureshan is 7.7ft tall.
Why am I getting an ad about amazing Pistachios?
Tacko Fall,George Mhuresean and manute bol
If he was tall bc of pituitary issue and not genetics how are his sons so tall? Sorry if dumb question really high rn
