Guys that are this big are just too slow to be part of a good NBA offense, you have to remember it gets pretty tiring having to sprint up and down the court trying to guard a guy 5 inches shorter than you

“Unfortunately, he was rarely healthy.” The most rarest of all athletes is the athletic 7 footer. Maybe two play at the same time in the league. Most 7 footers are decidedly not athletic. Secondly, the vast majority of people who get to seven feet tall and aren’t slow, they are terrible injury prone. The small joints and ligaments have a very tough time carrying that weight, it’s simple as that. I knew a guy, seven plus feet tall. By the time he was a freshman in high school, he was getting offers literally from every college. However, by the time he was a sophomore, his ankles gave out on him. Both ankles got fractures so bad, he needed surgeries on both. Multiple times. He could barely walk at times. By the time his high school years were over, both ankles needed to be fused and he had zero flexibility. He didn’t get a single offer for college by the time it was all said and done. He grew to 7 ft, 3 inches. Bottom line- bodies are just not meant to be that big.

In my work with 14-18 y/o about every 3 or 4 years I get a kid who is about 6 foot 11 inches. This year I have a 16 year old at 6 foot ten. Most people think kids this tall are slow, mostly because their job is usually to post up under the basket and set a blocking pick for outside shooters, so they don't "move" a lot.

It's crazy that 7'4" is the shortest of tallest 10!

That picture was real. For a bit, the Washington Bullets had the tallest and shortest players in the league on the same team. The shorter one is Muggsy Bogues.

I remember Shawn Bradley walked around with a sign “posterize me” target on his back! 😆

In the Manute Bol picture, Muggsy Bogues was 5'3' (shortest NBA player ever) teammate of Bol on the Washington Bullets

Kabir, Thanks for that tall tale of history of the tallest players in NBA.

My mom is 5'3", my dad is 7'0" and I'm 6'3". My dad's parents were 5'10" and 6'2". Growing up when we'd visit Chicago, people stopped my dad thinking he was Bill Wennington (former Bulls player). It was pretty neat. Always remembered growing up with a dad that towered over people.

Yes technically he did retire at 30 but it’s very sad because his career got ruined by injuries years before that. From the time he was 25 until his retirement there was only one season where he played more than 60 games even though there’s 82 in an nba season. In his last two seasons he was out all season when he was 29 and only played 5 games when he was 30. So sad to not be able to see a star like that reach his true potential due to injury

Manute Bol was, as they briefly mentioned, a class act and a true gentleman who gave away everything he ever had to help others. He had a massive heart!

That NBA Commissioner is David Stern and sadly passed away on New Years Day January 1st 2019

Not sure if anyone has said this already but no one actually knew Manute Bol's birthday. Not even himself, so no one knew how old the guy was. He would give himself a cut on his face every five years to keep track of his age. A teammate noticed, asked about it and counted 11 cuts. He then began to wonder if he's teammate really was 55 years old despite still being relatively new to the nba.

Manute Bol has a son Bol Bol, 7’2 , who plays for the nuggets he’s good but the coach won’t play him for more than 5 minutes

He's only 21 idk why everyone goes crazy like he needs to play ASAP, his little legs can't take it, he needs to bulk up for the NBA competition, that's why he sits on the three point line, he aint boxing anyone out

Fun fact: Manute Bol spoke little English when he came to the NBA. One day in practice, he did something to another player (bumped him or tripped him or something) and couldn’t remember how to apologize in English, so he just said the closest thing he could think of and thus the phrase “My bad” was coined.

I'm 6'4", and the only time I really felt short was when 7'3" Greg Oden had a class at Ohio State in the classroom next to mine.

I never took notice of George Mureșan’s jersey number but I noticed it now that it’s 77 (7’ 7”) hehe nice!

I was outside in the deer district during game 6 and it was the greatest night!!! Lets Go Bucks!

I'm 6'6" and I know three people who are around 6'10" and they make me feel a little short even though I'm taller than most people. Can only imagine what a truly short person would feel like compared to these athletes.

Manute Bol played for my Golden State Warriors back in the day and was definitely a fan favorite in the 90s along with of course Run TMC (Chris Mullin, Tim Hardaway, and Mitch Richmond)!

14:23 He passed away in 2010, his son Bol Bol (7'2") also is lanky, but both could shoot 3's and block shots.

14:00 yes, that is Tyrone "Mugsy" Bogues, at 5'3" he is the shortest NBA player in history, who just so happened to play for the same team at the same time as Manute Bol (the Washington Bullets) I believe it was only for around 2 seasons that they were together, then Bol retired and Mugsy was traded (this last bit could be wrong tho, going purely off memory)

YOU RANG?!?!?! Can't believe anyone hasn't said this for shaq

16:56 Manute Bol wore no.10 for both Golden State Warriors AND Miami Heat, but I associated the number to Tim Hardaway Sr. (listed 6' with shoes) more, given the Heat retired the number after he retired. His son, TH Jr. is 6'5" and plays for the Mavericks.

The tallest person in the world ever was American Robert Wadlow who was 8'11" or 2.72 m. He lived only to the age of 22 in 1940.

The player in the Rockets jersey that ruthlessly posterized Shawn Bradley in that clip was T-Mac, NBA Hall of Famer Tracy McGrady!

I took a geology class at the University of North Carolina with the two freshman centers. One was 7’2” and the other was 7’4”. I found myself between them leaving class one day and I had an elbow on either side of my face. Neither of them amounted to much as far as basketball went but I’ve never felt so small in my life. I’m 5 foot four

That photo was of manute bol and his teammate muggsy bogues the shortest player in nba history at 5 foot 3 inches

"He's big, he's tall, ....his name is Tacko Fall!".... Tacko played at my college (Univ. of Central Florida), and it was great watching him for 4 years. A really nice guy and fun for the fans to watch play...... The guys on this list are so tall, that the greatest big man ever, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, is not even on the list.

Fun fact: Boban actually has a fantastic career PER (a measurement that attempts to quantify everything basketball). But yea in the pace era getting up and down the court and not being able to lean on guys in the paint all game is tough for the big man. His minutes are pretty limited and matchup oriented as a result.

8:44 That was Allen Iverson, listed 6' with shoes. For a center, he also beat Shaq easily on the free throw line, his best reguar season percentage more than doubled Shaq's worst. 10:31 Yao Ming, AI AND 10:38 Shaq were inducted in the same class of 2016, and kzread.info/dash/bejne/gKp1xpmhks3gc9Y.html Yao opened his speech roasting AI.

YES you have to watch the original Space Jam. The new Space Jam just recently came out. It’s streaming on HBO Max until August 15 and is also in theaters at the same time if you want to watch that too. You should also check out the movie My Giant as well if you can find it anywhere. Also the guy you said was the NBA Commissioner is David Stern he was the former Commissioner and passed away on January 1st 2020 after suffering a brain aneurysm a few weeks earlier. Later that month on January 26, 2020 Kobe Bryant his daughter and 7 others died in a helicopter crash. That month was one of the saddest months ever for not only the basketball world but the entire sports world losing 2 incredible people R.I.P.

Surprised no one answered your 'Waiver' question. I'm not that good with basketball. But the team puts a player in football on waivers & other teams can pick him up. It changes about the ruling but normally there is a dead line, and if not picked up the player becomes a free agent at the end of the season. All the details change from time to time and I'm not familiar with basketball anyway.

The new Space Jam movie is already out now in theaters in the US.! It stars LeBron, AD, and Dubs co-Splash Brother Klay Thompson! I've seen both. Both movies are worth watching.

155 games, a full NBA regular season (unless shortened for whatever reason) is 82, so even excluding injuries, he was a healthy scratch (Did Not Play) most of the time.

so the little guy you asked if he was photoshopped to look smaller is muggsy bugs one of the shortest players in NBA history and he was also the greatest small player ever. also, the two 7'7" players on the list were on the same team with him.

You should react to some videos on the DIA conspiracy, its pretty crazy, and it would be cool to see someone not from the US learn about it and what they think

Watch the video that’s about the smallest players in NBA history! Roger in Pierre South Dakota

When a team waives a player, it opens up a spot on their team though they have to continue to pay the contract amount. It also allows other teams to pick him up without having to trade anything. If that happens, the original team is released from paying his salary.

These guys are actually tiny next to the world’s tallest man that still is the pinnacle of height. Wadlow Wilson stood over 8 feet tall. He wasn’t a player or anything just a medical condition that made him that way. There was no real way to really stop that so he just kept growing until his death in the 1920s i think. He didn’t have the best body as he walked with leg braces and a cane to support that massive frame. He wasn’t that big like you know eating as he was skinny but very tall. The tallest wrestler that’s active is the great khali at 7 foot 4 inches. He is one of the monsters in the ring though he’s more training people now for a career in the ring as nagging injuries keep sidelining him mostly his knees keep buckling as he walks. The big show is semi retired mostly doing producing backstage but at 7 foot even he was a force in his heyday. most wrestling companies tend to have giants that act like slow monsters that physically destroy opponents. It’s the way business is you know. If you show speed and control usually companies will give you a new persona to play and you riff off that into a good career if you are that big.

City of 14,000 here and we had a kid in high school who was 6'10" and had his coordination. Shame what happened to him but playing with him on the court in high school was nothing anyone could do. Only way to stop it is zoning up. Not a big thing in the nba.

The guy pictured with Manute Bol is his former teammate Mugsy Bogues the shortest player in NBA history. Mugsy is 5 feet 3 inches tall and was in Space Jam with Shawn Bradley.

The mad thing is, they already look tall on TV, but when you watch a game live, no matter what league, you really get some perspective on how humongous they all are. Not just in their standing height, but reach and wingspan. Edit: yes, you need to watch space jam. It’s silly, but good silly.

13:49 NO! That was a real picture. The short one is Mugsy Bogues, 17:42 Spoiler alert: At 5'3" (with shoes), he still is the shortest ever player in the NBA. In Space Jam, he was the only person not to get hit when going over the door as he was well under 2m.

Wave means they get cut/fired during the season and any other team can pick them up from the waiver wire.

7:20 You were DEAD ON Correct, but I should get my coat. The Late David Stern (1942-New Year's Day, 2020). Sidenote: His date of passing was significant, because Kobe mourned his passing, before both he and Gigi passed 25 days later.

The average height of the Chinese is around 5 foot 6 depending. But yeah we are short and we get jokes and stuff but we get the last laugh.
