Goliath was over 9 ft tall. He was 9'9". Imagine somebody or someone who is tall as Goliath like over 9 ft tall like 9'7" or 9'9" or short of 10 ft over 10 feet tall like 10'9" How would you guy's react if somebody's as tall as Goliath like way taller than Robert Wadlow? And how much that person weigh if he was like the same height as Goliath like 9'9" or 10'9"?

Bill Walton, the basketball player had small feet, which might have helped him be more agile - big men usually have huge feet and often don't move so quickly. His small feet couldn't take the pounding of playing, he was often injured and never fulfilled his potential as an athlete. Officially Walton was 6-11 but was probably 7' 2". Bob Wadlow would have towered over most NBA players.

Thank you Lamont, very touching tribute to Robert. He was, by all accounts, a gentle, amiable person who walked through life with dignity. His headstone, while not unusually tall, is nonetheless taller than most of the others in his section of the cemetery, and his grave unmistakenly extends to the street.

He weighted that much yet he was a thin guy, it was all from his height. The teacher that kissed his head is a real human being with great understanding.

Another great video with top notch narration!

Another great video Lamont thanks.

What a beautiful story I'm sure he made his parents and family very proud. He seemed to be so humble And just by his pictures I could just see How he loved to look handsome.
