    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.

    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!

    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)
