Came across these youtube vid's of a basketball player. Big deal, right? Well, he's 7'8" 360 lbs.

That's not a typo.

He doesn't even have to jump to dunk... it's just not fair.

He makes everyone else on the court look as tall as me....(i.e. not very)

Re: Basketball fans - you have to see this to believe it!

I bet the ladies love him

But on a more serious note, I wonder if he makes it to the NBA or if he ends up like most tall guys and has several physical conditions that limit his abilities. Sure he looks great on a high school court but can he take the abuse in the NBA? And what's his stamina like?

Ladies love him? Serious? They'd be scared of him. Its like having the hulk coming after you! He moves like a dope as well, very ungainly lol.

LOL I know I know. I was watching a show down in Texas about a kid who was tall like that. He had so many physical conditions to deal with I kinda felt bad for him. He had his passion for basketball, but seemed like he couldn't do anything with it.
