Hes a grown man it’s been proven but he likely has a disease called gigantism which causes you to never stop growing due to a brain tumor on the pituitary gland
He way more than 400 you gotta think embid is 300 at 7'1" and he's no frail like wemby (and wemby is 250 at 7'5" and he's skin and bones) this kid is chubby at 7'11" I bet he's anywhere from 450 to 480 that's a big boy
I think he would do well in college first. May I suggest that he go and play for a basketball conference like the Big 12 first before he goes to the pros? BYU is currently looking for a center for their basketball team.
If you stop the video at 1:12, it looks like he is past 7'10, maybe 7'10 1/2, except, he might be slumping or not, as his face seems forward. However he is wearing shoes which might add an inch. He should be measured in bare feet and not slumping. This is not definitive, other than he likely is at least 7'9" without shoes.
@@ChatterBoxBran 100% True. I would like to see this guy in person. Apparently he slumps because he has had to duck under doorways and ceilings and to be closer to people, which I think he might be 8 feet if he didn't. Massive......astoundingly so!
Hes clearly 7"8. With shoes i can see right there on the tape measure hes 2 inches shorter than 7"11 take the shoes off hes about 7:8 maybe less really at least in this video
Yes, last comment...7 foot eleven, weighing? 400? 425? To be honest, it looks like to me not many (including himself) are taking basketball all too serious based on his sagging body structure. Instead of the weightroom, he looks like he has been concentrating on McDonalds and Taco bell along with his standing partial windmill dunks. He would be 7-11 weighing 330-350 with some lean muscle if he had any NBA or professional people working with him.
Haven't you thought that the heavier you are, the higher chance of an injury, also with his height, hes already heavy himself to the point wheres its hard to exercise due to his mass and injuries that might occur
The way the young man can throw the basketball, imagine how he might be able to throw a baseball ⚾👍 if you're putting together a 3 on 3 team for BIG money, you'd be well served to get him on your team,it would be an automatic winner
I do not envy him. Everything normal sized people take for granted is probably a struggle/challenge for him. Finding clothes, using the bathroom, driving a car, etc.
That’s true. I’m only 6’3” and some cars or off limits to me. Especially when having to rent one? So What kind of car could he possibly fit in comfortably? A full size convertible Hummer with the top down? Or a double decker bus with the second floor removed?
Notice height, including his tall stature, is a disadvantage, as it makes him run slowly and he is also somewhat overweight. NBA needs to have more people like Mugsie and Spud also, not just tall people. There are advantages to being shorter also, 5'6" e.g., such as running faster and defense (knocking ball out of opposing player's hand when it is at his waist during dribble or while holding it, e.g.).
The short people that have made it to the nba are either super athletic/skilled or exceptions with an average league height of 6’8 they will be complete disadvantages on defense while also getting consistently blocked. Even people like Aquila Carr, trae Jefferson did not make it. And the short 6ft dudes are having insane trouble. It’s also a rich people network contest it isn’t always the best people being drafted Bol Bol failed the draft twice and he is 7ft 2
A coach needs to get him started on strength conditioning. If this dude builds up his legs and becomes a little more athletic, he would definitely go to the NBA.
Did he get leaner? In the first part he looks like he has gyno, but that last shot he looks leaner, maybe it's just a good shirt lol. But if he really wants to play he neeeds to get in very good shape. Don't wanna be one of those mid bigs if he makes it
To my knowledge, the tallest confirmed basketball player was 8'0, and if true (which I am skeptical of) the tallest player ever was 8'4. But he might have been a circus performer who pretended to play basketball.
Just wonder if he can run the floor. Doubt it tho bc he would be in the league if he could. Also, to tell how old he is, they could cut his leg off and count the rings 🤔. He's a redwood, right?!!! 😆😵💫
His walking gait seems not equal and balanced. So very prone for injury his size. Nba should start putting in some height cap lol soon we'll have 9ft players.
The fact he grew means hes still young. What are the haters gonna say now. Ok prob not 14 but def like 17-18. Wgaf about the age, the dude is a foot taller than fuckin' Anthony Davis!! The dude is 8 foot! That's rarer than having hundreds of millions to your name!! (celebrities)
People are so dumb when it comes to height and basketball. no he can’t play in the nba, no he cannot b a star in the nba. Still fun watch and pretty amazing none the less
Wont matter… basketball isnt just a half court game..: the nba or even college will make sure hes running up and down the floor. Looks like his overall speed is a 15.
I keep hearing everyone saying, "NBA." But there's only one problem with that... He can't play a lick of basketball from what I can see. Show me a pickup game with real American players that are at least on the college level then come talk to me.
Idk if he is really ready for the NBA but maybe the D league. He has a lot of body conditioning to do before I would say he ready for the NBA but he does look good playing with mediocre players. He is slow tho need to lose some weight and gain some speed, stamina and endurance he looks like he would get tired fast running up and down the court at a NBA pace.
so what if he's 24 thats still really young, in the UK 15 and 16 yo kids have played football {soccer} for our National side, i don't why proving ur age matters if his ID says he's 17 and you don't believe him im pretty sure if someone with half of brain can find where he grew up and go find kids he went to school with..
The problem is can his skills be good enough to play in the NBA. The basketball league is not aiming to find the tallest player because there is no award for that.
Just think the tallest man ever recorded was Robert Wadlow 8’11. That’s approx a foot taller than this man. Crazy!
2:02 he passed the ball like he was a dodgeball 😭
🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭
He has no business throwing dimes @ 7’9 😭
Its like all of us playing on a 7'5" hoop
Facts
Fr
It's like me playing on 5:10 hoop 😂
7 11 convenience store is going to sue him for copyright infringement.
And like them, he's always open😅
@@user-mv4be1tc2u🤣
Bruh he was just 7’8 like 6 months ago.
Yep. Obviously. Clickbait trash
Hes a grown man it’s been proven but he likely has a disease called gigantism which causes you to never stop growing due to a brain tumor on the pituitary gland
He’s really really well built for 8 ft he probably weights like 400 lbs considering the mass he has at that height it’s amazing
He'll be coming into a league with unicorns now as big men so he'll be a minority now
He way more than 400 you gotta think embid is 300 at 7'1" and he's no frail like wemby (and wemby is 250 at 7'5" and he's skin and bones) this kid is chubby at 7'11" I bet he's anywhere from 450 to 480 that's a big boy
how is it possible for someone that tall to add weight tho. he must of really bulked I'm talking like 10,000 calories a day.
That's the first dunk without jumping I've ever seen, damn.
Yes i would like to see him in the n.b.a
Me too I hope he's make it in one day
Good luck, big fella 😏 Got a long road ahead of ya 🏀

Still massive and you always hoop in shoes

I say shoes may add 1.5 inches. I saw the same height you saw. He is 7’10.5 and bare foot he would be 7’9 legit. Same height as Sun Mingming.
It’s like us regular folk dunking on a little tikes hoop 😅
Hes clearly 7"8. With shoes i can see right there on the tape measure hes 2 inches shorter than 7"11 take the shoes off hes about 7:8 maybe less really at least in this video

Also he has health concerns according to his health status
lol what have u done with ur life exactly? You sound negative as fuck and probably complain about everything in life
He better get into shape
That tape measure was hooked on the bag and it was up at least an inch but he is super tall it’s amazing he just stands there and dunks it
Dude holding the camera during the measurement was 9 feet tall lol
He seems fragile and injury-prone. I'm not sure about the NBA, but if he puts the dedication and work effort, a pro league somewhere might work.
Nothing about him seems fragile
@@jeremiahsymonette4781 which nba roster is his name in?
The way the young man can throw the basketball, imagine how he might be able to throw a baseball ⚾👍 if you're putting together a 3 on 3 team for BIG money, you'd be well served to get him on your team,it would be an automatic winner
According to the tape measure, he's 7' 7"
Thank you. These ppl gullible
He needs training and practice and learn to jump if he wants to make in any team. But whatever he does in life he will succeed👏
Just the fact that he can't run back in defence will probably cost him a potentially end of the bench spot. But hey, keep grinding young boy.
One serious budge from a well-built pro and he's snapping like a twig.
Yea he 8ft but he don't play above the rim. If he doesn't get some lift hes gonna be getting dunked on a lot basically a highlight reel.
Put him on the San Antonio Spurs on the offensive end of the court and have him rebound and put it back in if Wemby misses a three .
I do not envy him. Everything normal sized people take for granted is probably a struggle/challenge for him. Finding clothes, using the bathroom, driving a car, etc.

You don't want to know what Andre the Giant had to use when it was time for #2. Hint: He never rented a hotel room that only had a shower.
I would grab him so fast If I was a GM and let him train with the practice squad to see how he would fair with the speed of the game.
Bro image walking down a hall and you see a 7.11 giant walking around with his hair hitting the celling
I'd love it if an NBA team took a chance on him👍✅

@@Staticshock-rd8lv yes, shorter athletic, talented guys like the ones I stated above. Thus, I don't get ur point as u contradict yourself.
He belongs in the NBA definitely. He will become an instant sensation. WOW ! 7' 11".
Nope
i hope the kids able to have a long healthy life
Worth for NBA to hire him to G-league to see how he does. Some people might by ticket just to verify human can grow this big.
1:27 is that a Jawa guarding him?
A coach needs to get him started on strength conditioning. If this dude builds up his legs and becomes a little more athletic, he would definitely go to the NBA.
Why would he need to be more athletic when he can stand and dunk?
@jeremiahsymonette4781 To be able to maneuver to get to the point, where he dunks
The touch on the shots wow.
Actually looks healthy, most kids near that height act like it’s painful to walk.
its not 53 shoe size is centimeters thats a size 21 shoe.
he sure has to be in the NBA
that curved back at his age is worrying, hope he stays healthy
Did he get leaner? In the first part he looks like he has gyno, but that last shot he looks leaner, maybe it's just a good shirt lol. But if he really wants to play he neeeds to get in very good shape. Don't wanna be one of those mid bigs if he makes it
Even wembey from san Antonio has to jump a LIL BIT just a lil
When dunking is like dropping a candy wrapper into the trash can...

He needs to be in the NBA so he can live a better life
NAIJA'S height is not a consequence of genetics.
It's a misfire of his pituitary gland.
SHAQ'S is genetic.
He is 7'8" or 9" at most. Angles do exist 😂
Got somebody for victor 😂
If you take is hair out he looks to be around 7' 9", maybe 7' 9 1/2". Just my opinion
So with the shoes on HES actually 8feet that’s wild 😮
Wonder if his vertical leap is over 10 inches.
He has the agility of a sloth.
Clogging the paint in a good way
And the guy in the gray is 8ft too then right?
Wore that tape measure out!
measure properly no shoes draw a line how hard is that to do? more like 7’8”
The fact he grew means hes still young. What are the haters gonna say now. Ok prob not 14 but def like 17-18. Wgaf about the age, the dude is a foot taller than fuckin' Anthony Davis!! The dude is 8 foot! That's rarer than having hundreds of millions to your name!! (celebrities)
growth toumers can allow people to grow well into there 20's if not surgically removed
@@mixmasterfestus8096 Mhmm, ik. Same thing with Sun Ming Ming and Sultan Kosen
How tall is the other man in video looks as tall or taller
He looks sick men
That wasn't an outlet pass, it's like a baseball pitch.
His wingspan gotta be like 9 feet or close to it
Its likes hes playing on a mini hoop😂
put that boy on the warriors 😂
you still need to be able to jump a little to play big boy ball .. he can dunk flatfooted but can he defend guys who can leap to 15 feet .
Yes. I’ll pay to see him
Just imagine that guy trainning to be mr. Olympia! He will look like the black hulk for real!
Thats dumb he has horrible genetics he would not look good
imagine having to guard him. bet wemby couldn't
That’s because u don’t understand the game
The tallest man right now is Sultan Kosen and he’s 3 inches taller than him.
People are so dumb when it comes to height and basketball. no he can’t play in the nba, no he cannot b a star in the nba.
Still fun watch and pretty amazing none the less
This dude is also 28😂. This isn’t anything new under the sun
any shots of him playing defense?
Dude is like 8 foot he better make the nba.
I’d pay to go see this giant play
Give him a chance. But can he move quick. 🤔
He is the tallest man without pituitary disease😮
Bro cant even run the floor tf ?
Omgoodness, look out nba big hulk is coming😐
So the dude with the camera taller than him
In contrast tallest footballers, or even nfl players max out at like 6ft 10
Wont matter… basketball isnt just a half court game..: the nba or even college will make sure hes running up and down the floor. Looks like his overall speed is a 15.
Bro he 7.7ft you can see the tape is strated from 3 inch and hes not even reaching 8ft properly wrong information
😂😂😂. He doing them like I did my lil brother/cousins. I know they are MAD.
But his legs won’t hold up for long 🤷🏽
I keep hearing everyone saying, "NBA." But there's only one problem with that... He can't play a lick of basketball from what I can see. Show me a pickup game with real American players that are at least on the college level then come talk to me.
Harlem globetrotters is mot professional basketball. Professional basketball is the NBA only.
You people that say this guy is an nba prospect are ridiculous he can’t even move
Exactly but people believe height is everything in basketball when it’s really not
Woo
Finally a nightmare for wemby

The Lakers need a center
When is it too tall to be a player
The only reason he’s not in the NBA is because he is very big and slow moving.
He had some kind of pituitary gland problem. Hes clearly not just tall.
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱my god he is a Giant!!!!!!! almost 3 ft taller than me!!!!
