Sign the dude up and put him through the BY food thread diet - pizza, RR, wings, Arby's...

Guaranteed 50 pounds in 2 years. Cholesterol might be shot to hell but 50 pounds is 50 pounds.

When you're that tall, you're going to have health issues.

The fact that LaMelo Ball is playing HS basketball is a huge joke. Kiss dad's butt a little more.

He's an interesting story. Good for him for trying to do the one thing that can make him feel "normal." No matter what, people are going to stare at him. Some will be mean, but most are just shocked to see someone so different and don't mean any harm. Surrounded and accepted by other basketball players, many of whom people look up to as the cool guys, can only help him.

It's amazing to me that he and I don't even look like the same species, but he's just a kid, and I can't imagine my kids' anxiety if the whole world were staring at them. I wish him the best.

From a basketball perspective, I can't see him having a shot to do much. His highlights truly look like CGI. But if he can get a free American college education out of his height, then he's succeeded in turning a negative to a positive, and I'd even give that school he's at some credit.

Geesh, that's like a Tim Burton character.
