- When you think of an NBA player’s physique, you think of a tall chiseled body and broad shoulders. But, this video is about the complete opposite type of players - the ones who liked donuts and fast food - and who ran out of breath after two trips down the court.

“Robert Traylor was a McDonald’s All-American.”
You got that right. 👍🏼
🤣🤣This comment made my day!!!
That's what I thought as well 😂
This is literally what I thought 😭😭
It's always amazing that Shaq could play that well in LA at that weight. Of course, if I saw that dude coming at me at that weight, I would just get the hell outta the way.
Well that’s the average human. Guys like Olajuwon and Kareem are better centers. They actually had an arsenal of moves that could beat any dude no matter what size they were. Shaq purely used just his size to get an edge on his opponents.
@s b the funny thing is shaq is ranked higher than almost all the centers ( not kareem ) all -time
@s b not true. Shaq didn't just use his size. He had an arsenal of moves in the paint. Duncan may have remained smaller, but Shaq was known to be more athletic and explosive than Duncan
@@zachbalentt416 u forgot Yao ming
@@zachbalentt416 Shaq was skillful too. Yes, he didn't have as many moves as Hakeem or Kareem, but he definitely had a solid post game. He had a nice hook shot and was actually a pretty good passer out of the post.
Anyone who thinks he just bulldozed over people and that's it, didn't actually watch shaq play and just saw a couple of highlight reels.
We all thought of Zion while clicking on this video
Lol
True 👍
I was thinking Shaq
I sure was.
I didn’t and I agree Ethan Hayden
Shaq is just an outrageous human...athletically and from a commentary perspective. 🤣
A wild druid appears!
???
I met Kevin Duckworth about a year before he passed in a small town near Portland. He was huge! But a very nice, good mannered, good humored fellow. It was a a pleasure to talk with him.
That’s the way this stuff goes. As players get beyond 7 foot tall the weight range they can be while still maintaining the necessary mobility in todays NBA without being to slight of frame to be pushed around. Not to mention all the wear and tear on their body. Right now Porzingis seems to be right at the line of what is doable with size without the weight causing major issues against specific players.
There is no way Shaq was almost 400 pounds in the last Lakers title!!!! I can believe maybe 340-350.....
I believe it lol.....think about how big he was, and factor in that hes 7'1....Someone 6'5 that bulky would likely be 340-350, add an extra 8 inches(figure plus five pounds for every inch) and there ya go!
And no way in hell he was 12% bodyfat in Miami.
Wrong Shaq was 500 pounds lol 😆 😂 🤣 😅 😬
Shaq was 400 when he was with the Celtics at the end of his career.
One of the best channel in the game!
Keep up the great work!!
Zion’s on his way to break the record
He wouldn't be able to move at all if he passed Shaq.
I saw Zion with 7 donuts at voodoo donuts in Portland
@@moopert86 hes getting close zion is 317 and shaq is 325
@@CuteShiba Thought you were referring to the 395. a 6 6 dude that big would be completely immobile.
@@CuteShiba they say he's closer to 330/340 rn he's apparently gained 50 pounds since he got hurt
Shaq was just heavy he was wasn't fat especially in his prime 💪
Ye I wasn’t fat
Maybe you should actually try studying physiques. He absolutely got fat. That’s what happens when you eat garbage.
Yes, and this is a list of the heaviest basketball players, not necessarily the fattest.
@@WillJM81280 Yeah, but he used that fat to his advantage....Theres a reason why the "worlds strongest men" competitors are almost never "ripped"...all that extra mass equals brute strength
@@WillJM81280 The guys who lift the most then also are fat.
Not only was Shaq's frame was built for his weight but he was muscular 💯💯💯💯💯
Shaq was fat when he retired.
There was a Cat named John Williams who went to school @ LSU. He was from Los Angeles and he also had the moniker "Hot Rod". Real talented guy, so skilled and athletic for a guy 6"9. Unfortunately, "Hot Rod" became "Hot Plate" and basically ate himself out of the NBA. Sweetney was a really good player for Georgetwon, it's a shame.
John Sam Williams wasn't Hot Rod, 2 different guys.
Correct. Hot Rod Williams played for Cleveland and he didn't get grossly overweight. That was a different player that was very talented and I can't recall his name. I think this player was drafted the same year as Barkley or maybe the year before.
Hot Plate John Williams went to LSU. Hot Rod John Williams went to Tulane and was on that great Cleveland front line with Brad Daugherty & Larry Nance Sr
@@mongoslade277 Excellent and thank you! Names like Baskerville Holmes I can never seem to forget but "John Williams" is another matter, lol. Thanks again!
@@cardphins68 Baskerville Holmes 🤣. Memphis State finest. Maryland had a guy named Exree Hipp
"McDonald's All-American" killed me XD
It's an actual thing that Mcdonalds do
Zion: hold my cheeseburger
Dope video 🏀🏀🏀🏀
Miller played A LONG TIME, no matter how much he weighed. And he balled out overseas.
Didn't he finish with the Harlem globetrotters?
Oh no it's not him I'm think of. However he did play for the prison system basketball association for a year when he got convicted of assault for pistol whipping somebody.
Glen "Big Baby" Davis should be on the list
Banger vids 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌💪💪💪💪
You should do slowest nba players
I once interviewed Yao Ming after an NBA playoff game. He was in the visitors locker room, sitting on a folding chair that looked like a twig with this giant on top of it. His feet were in a small pool filled with ice. His feet took over the whole pool. Ming was enormous. Never seen anyone like him in person. The Chinese media followed him everywhere too
Had a friend who worked at a big hospital in houston and Yao was there in a wheelchair one day and he was about as tall as my friend whos 6'3" was standing up.
Miller was hilarious on the Suns. They called him "Two Chickens" when he was a Sun... because he'd eat two whole chickens before each game.
🤣
I think you should have done a BMI comparison instead of purely weight. A taller player is obviously likely going to heavier, but not necessarily "fatter".
But the title says “heavier”
Title literally says heaviest...
Lol I’m sorry that the people who responded to you failed to read. I think you make an interesting point.
@@dirtymike3329 it literally says heaviest not bmi comparison
@@kovaci0000007 You're right. That's what it says. The commenter is suggesting a different, more interesting idea.
You guys deserve for subs
Zion: "My time has come"
Apparently, NBA scouts did not watch the finals of the 2001 Illinois State basketball tournament, in which an undersized Schaumburg team with no player over 6'4" beat Curry's Thornton Fractional South team. The smaller team ran circles around Curry and his teammates. It was a harbinger of things to come.
Oliver Miller 😂 I remember him as a suns player, good times
Miller used to work out at the gym where I was a personal trainer in the early 2000's. He looked about as big as he did in his 2nd season as a Suns player. I always wanted to ask him why he couldn't get his weight under control, but I never got the chance. I did have to ask him to stop hitting on my client while I was training her😂
@@StevenisbelievenThat's pretty cool! I actually enjoyed watching him play, the crowd was always with him when he had a few minutes on the court 😊😂 90's Suns was the best
"Priest Lauderdale" sounds like an A Day to Remember song, to me hahaha
Another Vid Suggestion:
*TOP 10 STRONGEST PLAYERS IN NBA HISTORY*
Top of my head I have Karl Malone 3, Shaq 2, Chamberlain 1
I don't remember Thomas Hamilton and I was an avid NBA follower back then he must have had a cup of coffee with the Celtics he sure flew under my radar.
“Makes Shaw look small”
Shows Shaq looking absolutely even next to the Great Wall.
I was hooping once and had a near 300 pounder fall on my arm while it was pinned 45 degrees against the ground elbow up. It did not break luckily and it’s best to just get out the way.
Damn, I apologized to you for that already! Why you gotta keep bringing it up all the time?
I'm surprised Stanley Roberts didn't make the list.
Big O had some serious handles..not just love handles!
He was an awesome passer for a big man.
Portland had a huge Korean player who could make this list. Late career Lonnie Shelton was also huge.
Oliver Miller was a great role player the year the Suns went to the finals. He was a nice shotblocker, could move nicely for an overweighted player. He wasn't like Pat Ewing, Hakeem or David Robinson but was a really decent player. And then he got fat... It's sad cause he a had a nice potential, I think he could have been around 10-15pts, around 7-8 rebounds per game and mostly 2-3 blocks per game but I guess he liked to eat most than the game.
Agreed, I used to enjoy watching him with Phoenix. But he ate himself into obscurity and I had completely forgotten that he ever existed until I watched this video!
I had a feeling my cousin Priest would make this list.
Hamilton started at 400 lbs with the Celts and worked and played his way down to 360 that part year he was there
Ngl I was pretty fat
8:35 that's just menace
That pic of Chuck with the pizza tho.
Had a slice before he brought it in the house.
If Shaq had managed his weight better with a proper diet he could’ve potentially been the GOAT. Clearly he was still dominating with all that excess weight on the Lakers, yes. But he just kept pushing the envelope and it ruined his joints and by extension the longevity of what his career could’ve been. He could’ve dominated alongside Wade and won 2 or 3 more Championships in Miami if he took better care of himself.
For those who don’t know… look at how he played and could move in Orlando when he was a rookie and playing at an ideal weight… his coordination, balance and speed for a man of his size was truly on another level. If he trained the way Giannis trains and optimized lean muscle mass over just accumulating mass in general (muscle & fat)… man… people just have no idea…. He could’ve been the gold standard of athletic potential over LeBron James in my opinion.
Athletic potential?
Nobody would call him 'the GOAT'... because fans bias that label toward wing players.
If not for that bias, kareem would be considered such right now, and it wouldn't be close.
You know you're good when the league changes rules to nerf you.
@@whitewhale9012 Wilt is imho a legitimate C candidate for me, because he was a real standout ... It is hard to compare different types of player, let alone compare Shaq and Jokic who even play the same position - but are outstanding player but with a total different game. If you rate passing more, you prefer Jokic, for physicality dominance below the basket Shaq is much better.
But in the end i would still give it to MJ because he had that huge impact for the game and the league, besides beeing a hell of player.
@@christiang5209 When it comes to impact, yeah. Jordan made it a global sport. Hes by far the most important player of all time.
"If Shaq had managed his weight better with a proper diet he could’ve potentially been the GOAT"
Giannis is only 27 years ago. He could have been the shaq that we missed. Of course, keep winning chip in Milwaukie, a small market, is pretty difficult. However, if Giannis can really win a few more chips in Milwaukie, he could be in the goat conversation.
I thought Tree Rollins was going to be on the list. I remember that guy was always eating. I remember when he tried to eat Danny Ainge, starting with Danny's finger.
Yao could play. Some of these dudes were just blubber. I remember when the Celtics rolled out Thomas Hamilton against Shaq and Shaq posted him up and looked small - it was funny.
W vid
Surprised Big Baby Davis wasn’t on the list
Oliver Miller should be a 1st ballot HOF.
Raptors icon
Hall of Fat
This is amazing you are using shortcuts from polish television TVP2
Shaq is like the NBA version of Commercial James Harrison
It’s Fricking Hilarious
Giannis Body is just insane. Hes a modern greek god. All Respect for the effort it took to take his body to this point.
Shaq is one of the most impressive freak of nature
I went to University of Arkansas when Oliver Miller was there. I saw him at Taco Bell one night. No lie. I have no idea how he afforded that many tacos as a college student.
He took money from the scouts already
For Sweetney, sometimes NBA players who plays oversees, tend to not perform well. But when he came to Uruguay, he was so beloved and you knew by watching he was a super intelligent player.
Hi from Bulgaria. I remember Priest playing in the Bulgarian league for Lukoil Academic some 20 years ago, that team was unbeatable back then, locally of course, they were good but still weaker than top quality european teams.
Lauderdale's was huge and dwarfed every other player I've seen him play with and against. Couldn't run, couldn't jump (didn't need to), still, he was scoring a decent amount of points. I suppose if he was a better player, he'd been playing in a better league or a team. They gave him a bulgatian citizenahip, but I don't think he ever played for the national team.
Who was that center on the Suns around 2010 - 2012 who barely played. Dude was HUGE.
Cool
Wiseman always said: "Lads Lads Lads Good ol' Eddy. Good ol' Eddy Curry"
"Priest Launderdale sounds like the name of a pastor of a local church. But it's not"
What about Big Country Bryant Reeves?? He was pretty heavy from what I can remember.
George Foreman in sneakers is what these guys remind me of.
Diesel was a real monster under the basket.
Jaylen Brown next video Nonstop Sports 💪💪💪
Considering what this list is, suddenly McDonald’s All American takes on a different meaning.
Robert Traylor wasnt only a McDonalds All-American, he was also at all American McDonalds
Shaq ja biologicsl monster. Heaviest yet so good
Oliver Miller was struggling with his weight when he came up with Phoenix at the age of 22... Dude couldn't control himself.
Chuck said Miller could have been an All Star if He learned how to say, "I'm full". I agree Oliver was a real talent.
Shaq clearly weighed more on the cavs and Celtics than he did on the Lakers
I've just always been fascinated by dudes with big physiques. I always feel bad for dudes who gain too much and can't cut. It's not as easy as it sounds to lose weight, especially depending on your body chemistry. I was very underweight as a kid, and then when I got put on Estrogen for an endocrine disorder, I felt better, but I bulked up to 250 pounds at 5'9", took years to get myself down to about 215Ibs. where I am now. a lot of it had to do with taking care of mental health, exercising more, and diversifying my diet. That being said, I'm obviously not an athlete, so it amazes me when I see guys bulk up, or lose weight in a relatively short amount of time.
trust me it sucks to be able to put on 50lbs in a year. I can do it without even openly overeating that much. idk wtf is my body. Got serious lost 85 lbs was nearly skinny. was around there for close to a year. went back to my old habits and put on 70lbs in 1.5 years. :(
Barkley used to say that the only way Big O could dunk is if you put a quarter pounder on the rim.
One and true superman leads on that list
Sweetney's only drug was SWEETS. What a great line
"Exceed the 300 pound mark"
Shows Zion on the couch! 🤣
heres a sugestion to make the videos more interesting to the rest of the world, put the metric/kilo mesures on the screen while you talk about them in the usa mesusre.
sorry about the errors in the text, english is my second language and its not 100% yet, im brasilian btw
Oliver Miller was a skilled player and king of the outlet pass and blocked shots like a cat.
What about Brian Reeves, Glen Davis, Derek Coleman, and even Rick Mahorn?
2:10 it's not because of his frame, it's because of tractor trailers and his last name and his frame. it's not just that he was big, but that his last name was traylor so tractor traylor/trailer was a fitting nickname lol
Was wondering if Oliver Miller was on this list. A great passer from the 5 position.
So it means that Yao Ming real height is probably 7'5" without shoes because Tacko is 7'6" without shoes on.
Didn't even pay respects to Robert Traylor's passing, smh
What about Dinner Bell Mel Turpin?
Man and I thought I was pretty big trying to play basketball at 270 something
How tall are you?
could you do a what happends when you win a nba championship
ooh...no big baby davis. i'm surprised. that guy hit the floor in a game and I swear that I felt it at home
2 sandwiches because one wasn't enough is crazy 😂
Some basketball players end up playing football... this video kinda looks like some football players went and ended up playing NBA basketball
Rumor has it Marcus Fizer hit four spins after he took his career overseas.
Mel Turpin or as he was called in Cleveland. Dinner Bell Mel.
"he was a McDonalds all american"🤣
yep, clearly.
I was expecting a follow up joke that he was also a Carl's Jr All-American
SHAQ is full metric ton now!😂😂
To be fair to some of these players some of them are misleading due to their insane height.
3:19 was that a Bahston accent there? Or am I just hearing it because I want it to be a Bahston accent?!
i don't know how it's possible to be overweight as an NBA player considering how much sprinting and jumping they do
Stanley Roberts cleared 300 pounds when he was with the Clippers in the mid 1990's. Should be on the list
Eddie Curry had that heart issue, otherwise he would not have had that issue.
First like and first comment keep up the great vids
I never heard of most of these guys.
Amazing, Shaq built as muscular and power at his weight.
#8 Robert Traylor RIP 🙏💪
Charles Barkley called Oliver Miller a UFO..Unidentified Fat Object 🤣😂
Maaannnnn... if Yao stayed healthy he would have went down as an absolute all-timer
