All my mind can think of is the nightmare it had to have been going clothes shopping for that kid.

I can feel that kid's growing pains. Whoa 7'9 at 19? Is he even done growing?

Will he play baseball for the Twins? 😬

Is it even safe for him playing basketball. Being that tall normally will put a strain on all your organs.

Poor guy. By the time he’s 30 his joints will be fucked and he’ll be on opioid medication which will fuck up his stomach&bowels as well. I hope not, but that’s the most likely scenario.

That boy is 2'6" taller than me. I feel bad for him because he's going to need a good tailor all his life. I can especially imagine because I'm 5'3" & such a mishmash of measurements that if I want a shirt to fit me right it's got to be bespoke tailor made.

I hope tRump does not see this. He'll deport him for being too different. Much taller, younger better looking and talented. tRump does not want this in his American flock.

Is it basketball anymore when players’ height is above the basket. Basketball needs to be height grouped like boxing is weight grouped. And people worry about trans athletes having an unfair advantage.

Good kid from Québec. Dad was a volleyball player, mom is 6’-1’. They worked hard with him so he didn’t feel like a freak. I read an article in the French journal LaPresse, He is well surrounded.

The tallest man I've met is 7'2". Hard to imagine another 7" on top of that. His wife is about the height of that announcer ;-) That kid is going to have a tough and expensive life. He'll need all his clothes and shoes custom-made. He won't fit in cars, aircraft seats, hotel beds...

In HS we had a kid who was like 7'7". He had all sorts of musculoskeletal problems and was as unathletic as he could be. Couldn't even shoot a basketball, much less run down the court. The basketball coach cried every time he walked past this kid in the hallway.

He should be tested for Marfan Syndrome. Most youth athletic programs require testing due to the risk of heart attack, but it's Florida.

gzurcher.bsky.social

Is it just me, or should the game have a limit on how tall you can be and still play on a ten foot goal? When the players are almost as tall as the goal and can dunk the ball without jumping; it is time to move the goal up to 15’. It is like an adult playing on a five year olds basketball set

You can see in Cory’s face how much he hates everyone and their mother asking him for this exact picture. Has probably been happening since he was 12.
