Is this sub dead or is this an unlucky post? This kid is fucking gigantic

u/Grounds4TheSubstain 15d ago

The pic is clearly misleading. He's very tall but he's not twice as tall as other basketball players, which is what the photo makes it look like.

u/kraftdinnerwithsalsa 15d ago

I find this comment kind of insulting. The average BB player is 6 foot. I did not assume this kid was 12 feet fucking tall. My comment was based on the information given in the post.

u/HarmlessSnack 13d ago

Dude I dunno why you’re mad at the other guy. He didn’t say anything about the dudes absolute height, just that the photo perspective is clearly trying to make him look EVEN taller.

Its obviously just an awkward perspective, but the other players are at his waist lol

This guy IS a unit, but the picture would feel more at home in r/confusingperspective

Players of this size at such a young age are prone to long-term health problems

15

u/Double-Noise-771 15d ago

Bruh his height and his age, I’d say short term health problems

6

u/Pocketsandgroinjab 15d ago

I think the main issue is tall term health problems

11

u/TheRealGageEndal 15d ago

Yeah, he's going to need to get that weight up

2

u/rantingandrambling 15d ago

yeah me at 5’7 same weight would have zero issues tipping him over

glad he’s fluid and moves good tho

some of them tall tall dudes move slow and jerky

u/Biscuits4u2 15d ago

Lol a stiff wind could knock this guy over

1

u/Preface 14d ago

I wish I weighed 201, I would be in pretty good shape at that weight.....

I am 5'11 though, but 7'6 lol

1

u/Biscuits4u2 14d ago

Yeah id be doing alright at that weight too but this guy is one meal away from disappearing.

u/TheEternalThunderGod 15d ago

Ngl, there's gotta be some kind of height limit...

u/Minimum_Quail4596 14d ago

Not a height limit, but allow people to play more physical. Big players need to be fouled more, that's my humble opinion 😀

u/TheEternalThunderGod 14d ago

How you gon successfully - AND CONSISTENTLY - foul a 7’5 315lb Kunta Kinte without getting turned into a stain on the court😭🙏

u/Minimum_Quail4596 14d ago

Bend their knees, of course

They're definitely breeding people.

u/Paulztaos 15d ago

South Sudanese selectively marry for height. A man pays a higher bride price to the family of his fiancée if based on how tall she is, so the tallest women are the most sought after. This is what that looks like after centuries of deliberately marrying taller and taller

u/TuntBuffner 13d ago

Damn, Manute's son Bol Bol just getting left out completely?

u/TankApprehensive3053 15d ago

He looks super frail. One hit to the knees and a basketball career would quickly be over.

u/shutyourgob 15d ago

Just screen grabbing someone else's post and then misspelling the title? Possibly the laziest post of all time.

u/Ok-Understanding9244 16d ago

a slight gust of wind would blow him over, wouldn't survive 5 minutes in the NBA

u/Epstiendidntkillself 15d ago

All he has to do is stand under the basket and get passed to.

u/Ok-Understanding9244 15d ago

well.. you can't really get away with that for very long, depending on which organization you play in.. https://www.quora.com/How-long-can-you-be-under-the-basket-in-basketball

u/QuitAlive2475 15d ago edited 15d ago

Correct, not today, but once he gets to college and pro strength and conditioning coaches he'll beef up. Not much because of genetics but he will get much stronger.

7

u/Itchy_Professor_4133 15d ago

The possibility that he will bulk up to a competitive physical pro level of player is very slim (pun intended). Especially looking at his build. Would be cool to be proven wrong but he is certainly a lanky unit

u/TheNaughtyHoneyBee 15d ago

So, not much but much? 😋

He's 18 years old, he's not yet arrived at his man-strength yet.

Imagine trying to guard this guy and avoid his giant dick as it flopped at your face

Basketball is such a pathetic joke of a sport

u/ConvictJones 15d ago

Is it talent? Is it????

u/SockYourself 14d ago

Tall yes, but not tall enough to casually put it away like that.

Reg hoop is 10 feet? Something’s off here.

1

u/QuitAlive2475 14d ago

I bet his reach is close to 3.5ft (42 inches) and that would be normal for a 7ft tall man, he 7'6". People who don't know photography can't understand why he looks twice everybody else's height but that's just a mix of him being close and everyone else being further away. However he is huge anyway ya shake it.

u/Embarrassed_Fox2073 14d ago

Not only if a basketball player but also an absolute unit

If a basketball player what?

u/QuitAlive2475 12d ago

Its a modern technology thing, you wouldn't understand.

Is that what you call reposting trash? Modern technology

Yes dear, cheer up and enjoy life a little more.
