    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.

    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.

  • @david.tousignant20
    @david.tousignant20 4 года назад +4

    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.
