http://www.childrensworld.org/page.html?pid=394 15 years old - 8 feet tall!!! And to top it off, he wants to play pro ball some day in the US. This is amazing, an 8 footer that wants to play ball, but he's 15? Daaamn.
I made a topic on this guy in the Off-Topic board a month and a half ago with the same link. He's a freak of nature and because of his height will never touch the NBA. His NBA Nickname - 'Ringworm'....
I remember this guy. I just don't know what he'll ever do in his basketball career. Manute Bol at best, if he EVER makes it.
He's already 'supposedly' 8'0" at 15...if he doesn't die from his pituitary disease he will probably grow to be 8'5" or so which would make him 10 inches taller than Manute Bol.

Anyways though I highly doubt that he'll ever get close to the NBA. im sure he won't even be alive much longer w/ that disease he has though. It would be amazing though to see a guy that tall in the league that would be able to dunk w/o even jumping.
Yeah, I remember the topic that BCB made about him. He's pretty f*cking tall, but his lateral movement will probably be terrible for a guy that tall. He looks like a poster board, lmao.
