That's why Yao Ming's basketball career was a great anomaly for someone his size. Not only was he 7'6" but his basketball skills were genuinely pro-level. He could shoot and he was amazing in the post.
Reason all these guys go undrafted is because they can have back problems not that far into there career and end up having to retired early. No teams wants that.
Kenny George ain’t 7’8, he’s a little but under 7’6 according to the internet. But what’s more impressive about him is that he uses shoe size 28 US which is 66,5 in EU shoe size LOL
True, 7,2 plus players would use too much energy to keep their additional weight and height balanced with their speed, which means they need more stamina.
I figure it must be boring sometimes for these 7’8 basketball players all they can do is sit and catch the ball and layup and just sit in paint on defence. 🤣
About five or six years ago I saw Paul Sturgess in person at a restaurant in Beckley, West Virginia. At the time he was playing for Mountain State University.
I think they should limit the height of professional basketball players to 6'6" or lower. It isproven that not all 7 feet players are not that really good or exciting players. To level the playing field, no player of 7 feet tall will be accepted in professional play.
The video is well documented, but most measurements were taken after they retired. A few of these guys were still growing even in their 40s : * Sizonenko was measured at 7 ft 10 in and named the world's tallest man in 1991. But, Sizonenko retired in 1986, and was "shorter", since he still grew 2 inches after 1991! * Suleiman Ali Nashnush was never measured when he played basketball. He was supposedly just under 7'10 when he was balling and grew 3.5 inches after he underwent a surgery to stop his growth.
You forgot Jorge Gonzalez. He was a 8'0 foot tall basketball player from Argentina who play for Argentina. He was supposed to be drafted by the Alanta Hawks. But never singed with then. Instead he presumed a career in wrestling (best know for being in WWE as Giant Gonzalez.)
Yeah, being tall doesn't mean anything. I'm currently in 7th grade, 12, 5'11", and people expect me to be some legend because of my height. Wrong. I'm legend-ARY XD
I'm vote for his height at 7'3 and Gilas Pilipinas Should look more (2 to 3)Naturalized Players(Center/Power-Forward all around bigmen) around 6'11 to 7'3 to serve as a Vital Core of Philppine National Basketball Team
Sana may makuha tayong naturalized player na halos ganyan katatangkad. Magsanib pwersa yun big companies sa pagkuha ng big players playing 4 and 5. Tapos makakuha filipino players abroad +/-6'5 playing 1,2 or combo. Tapos makapagtrain ng Filipino coach sa ibang bansa para matuto ng new basketball system. Yun ang literal na MagiGILAS. Sana talaga! 🙏
1:37 The player beside George is TYLER HANSBROUGH i know him he played for the PACERS and he became known because he got afraid to METTA WORLD WAR (ron artest) Tyler is 6'10 i just imagine that kind of tall guy will look small because of other people who are over height
bananaisgood well he played basketball a few times so technically it does count. Plus robert wadlow (272 cm 8’11.5 or tallest man ever) was not a player but he did play a few times so technically it does count
Если бы у таких росликов был-бы вертикальный прыжок около 100см, они бы свою голову закладывать могли:) А на самом деле им самим не приятен свой рост и мне им хочется только посочувствовать...

I played against Kenny George in high school. He was 7’4” then. He tripped once and fell and the floor shuck.
Nah
Sure you played against him. You are full of shit. Keep your full of shit mouth shut.
@@RetroGamer8048 are you jealous? cuz you sound like one lol
@@hugedisappointment309 yes
How heavy is he?
lol...the music-track has me grooving, as I watch this. I almost forgot what I was here for !
Reason all these guys go undrafted is because they can have back problems not that far into there career and end up having to retired early. No teams wants that.
or just be nine feet tall and then he can make all the baskets he wants by just standing under the basket
dude my uncle is 6'4 and he said he has some trouble running now and then but in basketball you need height thats one thing but skill so yea
They are fucking useless except Basketball...
They're not the handsomest guys In the World either
@@leonardlarrisey1040 So?
Sweet vid and love the song. Can you name or link the song.
Thx best wishes
Robert Wadlow was 8'11" (272 cm). Unbelievable!
Yes your right ROBERT WADLOW is the tallest of all
Who else want to be taller than Roberts Wedlow?
Wadlows head would have touched the net if he stood under the basket
Joe Dag true
@@panukornrojanasomsith3304 a polar bear
Paul Sturgess came to my school once and it was amazing!
Same
Great story

battle of the giants lol
These guys can make Yao Ming look smalllllllllllllllllll
Nice Video
You start getting upwards to 7 and over and knee problems are always going to haunt you!
0:32 this is Neil fingleton next to the actual height of the giant of Chicago robert wadlow and he looks short.
Victor Crowley I know
Victor Crowley btw its the giant of Illinois

robert wadlow makes 7 footers look small
But he died too young at the age of 22.
Not going to mention my boy giant Gonzalez huh
I saw Paul Sturgess at a local restaurant. He later played with the Harlem Globetrotters.
6 10-7 2 is the perfect height for bball center. The trade off of immobility and energy consumption exceed its advantage after that.
True, 7,2 plus players would use too much energy to keep their additional weight and height balanced with their speed, which means they need more stamina.
The really tall ones suffer from back, knee and heart issues. Enlarged organs from overwork or hormone imbalance. Circulation issue too.
@@patsysadowski1546 someone said that is what happens when you are 5 ft 10 and over xd you all be lying
Robert F Wadlow, No1, Tallest of History, 9feet, 272cm.
It's a curse to be so tall...You easily get tired
I find it highly interesting in watching tall people playing above seven foot tall
I figure it must be boring sometimes for these 7’8 basketball players all they can do is sit and catch the ball and layup and just sit in paint on defence. 🤣
About five or six years ago I saw Paul Sturgess in person at a restaurant in Beckley, West Virginia. At the time he was playing for Mountain State University.
You forget Suparwono from Indonesia. He stand 242 Cm and played basketball. But he got problem with his knee and then retired too fast.
In basketball 6 foot boy is so much short according to other players height 😅😅😅😅😅

If they join NBA Manute Bol is not the tallest NBA player ever in the history.
Exactly :)
Yea except gheorghe muresan was taller
That’s debatable Gheorghe was about the same height as Manute maybe just a few millimeters or so taller but they’re basically the same height
I believe that this guy specifically said not in the nba
You forgot Jorge Gonzalez. He was a 8'0 foot tall basketball player from Argentina who play for Argentina. He was supposed to be drafted by the Alanta Hawks. But never singed with then. Instead he presumed a career in wrestling (best know for being in WWE as Giant Gonzalez.)
Trevor Yates he was 7’7” nowhere 8’0
Yeah don't believe the hype brother. Giant Gonzalez was actually around 7'7. WWF exaggerated his height to 8 ft
@@leir2005Just like hulk hogan who was listed as 6'8'' but was actually barely 6'3'' if that!

@@MrGoldenthroat Dude your drunk.Terry Bollea is 6ft 7.
The real giant is manute bol
8 feet no way
Swxzy_ Mustafa Robert Wadlow was 8’11 he wasn’t a basketball player but he was the tallest person who ever lived.
@@thetruesquad5059 No are you dumb? Robert died before he got to that height
The True Squad stfu and get your facts straight
The True Squad he would have been 9 feet if he didn’t die and btw what was his name
The True Squad and stupid is what wimps use
No mention of manute bol ?
Imagine a player that is a million feet tall but he can't dunk!
U must b a toddler
Impressive!
What are the shoe size of these guys.
never thought of that
I guess being tall doesn't always mean you will be in the nba
Yeah, being tall doesn't mean anything. I'm currently in 7th grade, 12, 5'11", and people expect me to be some legend because of my height. Wrong. I'm legend-ARY XD

Robert wadlow is the tallest people in the world!

neil looked 7'10" not 7'7" according to the first image, and he was slightly leaning over
because he was not touching it he was closer to the camera
Lmfao the rock look like a buff 12 year old next to that guy
Still the tallest person to of ever lived was Robert Wadlow he was 8’11.

Most of these guys had gigantism, which means that they tend to have a lot of health problems, unfortunately :S
The tallest basketball player visited my school

Yes
Wow amazing
Title? Maybe change that and re upload lol
Kai sotto. 17 years old. 7'2

Sizonenko was 7'10, not 8'.
Wow.. I wonder how these dudes grow so tall 🤔... amazing
King Konz hormones and playing basketball
King Konz it's actually a condition most of the time, it's often gigantism(or a principle of it)
A lot of them suffered from some sort of medical condition. Some of them are actually genetically that tall though.

quick question! what would people do if not in the nba and their were the size of an nba player
Pro wrestling movies, science teachers? What would a midget do?
Get a job as a bouncer. Act in a movie/tv show as a generic tall bad guy. Or join a circus. Of course if they didn't get an degree in something.
I went to high school with a giant 7ft-6" Huge kid. Too bad he sucked at Basketball! he was strong as anything. Picked 4 of up at once! LOL
Song? At tge start
Wheres EJ FEIHL from the Philippines ?
they forget kai sotto from philipines 16 years old now and his height is7’7
Panda GAMING last i heard he was 7’1”
The Late Neil Fingleton was actually 7ft 7.5in
Paul Sturgess isn't 7ft 8 but currently Britain's tallest Man at 7ft 7.25in
Tallest recorded man was 273 cm which equals 9 feet :)
On this video makes yao ming a small basketball 🏀 player
Yao Ming look short when compare to this player.
I am 6ft and I am so happy, I don’t ever want to tower over my girls. It’s just inconvenient
Westbrook could still dunk on each of these guys.
Cyber Farmer yes he can and turn the ball over like 20 times in a game lol

Real life monsters
GIANT GONZALES?
Yea
The tallest living giant is Robert Wadlow standing 8.11 or considered as 9.00 like goliat
Living? He died before I was born.
8,11= 9 feet.
Goliath stand 10Ft..or 16Ft..?
9 feet... I think.
Why some of you get so tall and me, just left behind 😂😂
What about manute bol ????
Shame about the Edward Beaupre entry , standing height was about 7 2'
Fiba 18
The way some these dudes built they should be good enough for NBA no cap🥵
They way they are built is actually not well. Being extremely tall means very weak bones
@@wilderac2250 Not always
Tall people can be strong bone.

Sean-Micheal Butler the title is words.....You mean your face looks like words?
Where is max yanto? Indonesia player

Prophet Adam was 98 feet.
Most of them were not fit for their height not as the nba like tacko or yao ming they look good for their size
These tall guys look like cheat for basketball team who have them lmao
ROBERT WADLOW IS 8'11
Robert Wadlow isn't a basketball player.
laszlo zsurka he played basketball sometimes but was not in a team but technically it counts
