The ultimate hoop protector

[sledog]

Is KO looking at this guy? 7-7 high schooler, very little hoop experience, etc. Should fit right in. Kid could just stand under the hoop, and avoid goaltending calls.

7-7 and 195 pounds? Do they feed him?

So at one point I had 100lbs on a guy who was 7'7''. That would've been pretty depressing to know in the pre-dieting days.

You'd wouldn't expect that in a video of a 7'7'' player they'd only show him shooting 3s.

Errbody wanna be Curry.

I honestly pray for his health first and foremost. Hope he makes the most out of his size, but being that big is much more of a curse than it is a blessing.

No they can't see him to throw the ball to him, and you know he can't post up.


Oh, did you mean food hoop?

We need to go skinnier on our big men.

sounds like a really smart kid...speaks 4 languages fluently at the age of 16. Grade point average over 4. And a familial basketball pedigree... why wouldn't Kevin go after him?

OT: I met his dad's 7"7' teammate on an elevator at a Meadow Lands UConn game. My daughter was 3 or 4. When George stepped into our elevator she was looking at the floor. We watched as her head gradually tipped upwards and her mouth and eyes got wider and wider, unti she was srairing straight up into his face. We all got a kick out of her unfiltered amazement.

Unfair comparison. Stairmaster is part giraffe.
