A lot of that has to do with gigantism. No human in history has been naturally taller than 7'9, and most natural giants never get above 7'6. People who are naturally tall have less health problems overall because they're supposed to be that tall, not forced by a pathological condition to be tall. You can always tell by bodily and facial proportions whether someone's height is natural or pathological, and it's the latter that will always have more problems holding them back in terms of health and athleticism. The tallest player we'll likely ever see in the NBA for a meaningful amount of time we'll most certainly be 7'8 or 7'9, never taller.

There was one player that you did not mention. His is Rhi Mong Hon aka Michael Ri from North Korea. He was 7ft 9in tall and was a really good basketball player. He trained in Canada but was not able to play in the USA because of his ties to North Korea which is in conflict with the USA. Korea wanted to use his salary which would have been upwards of multi millions of dollars for political reasons. The USA said no.

How about Manute Bol, 7'7". He had a respectable career from 85 through 93, and then played a few games each season until 95. The man was a beast in the paint, blocking shots from Kareem to Karl Malone. He didn't have the skill of Ralph Sampson, but he gave everything he had and was a decent 3 point shooter as well. It's a shame he couldn't put on any weight no matter what he ate. Tragically dying well before his time. But he was fun to watch.

These really tall guys have health problems. Making them believe they are fit for basketball is really abuse.

After they reach about 6'8, the lifespan of a person starts dropping. When you get _really_ tall, it becomes even more pronounced. These guys will be lucky to make it out of their 40's

The most athletic 7ft basketball player to ever play was Ralph Sampson. He was 7ft 5in and he was a beast. 3 time college basketball player of the year and a NBA hall of famer. At times, he was like a 7-5 point guard who could bring the ball up the court and run the offense. He was also one of the original twin towers along with Hakeem Olajuwon when he played for the Houston Rockets.

From 2000-2002 UNC Coach was Matt Doherty former UNC player went to the NBA and came back after NBA and tried his hand at coaching on a 6 year contract. He only done 3 of the 6 years & Left before his contract was up. Doherty was a great player be he was a horrible Coach. Had almost as many losses as he did wins in his 3 years there. Players couldn’t stand him he was always feuding and fighting with players and other coaches! Thank God Roy Williams came along and took his place because he wasn’t much of a Coach. Some people can play the game but just have no patience to coach the game and he was one of them people.

There are good, and bad things about the sport of basketball. The obvious bad thing is that height can be more important than athletic talent. Another negative is that basketball is impossible to referee accurately. The good thing is that unlike some sports, there aren't a lot of head injuries, and severe bodily injuries in general.
