    Yup, if there was a 7-11 man living on this earth. Ripley's believe or not wouldn't let him slip pass their radars.

    Lmao.. I cant believe so many people actually fell for this. Think about it guys, if hes never played with anyone, who is he sitting beside in the shoe picture? And how did he afford the shoes? And if the last line of the article didnt give it away completely, I dont know what can. To fall for this you have to be pretty damn gullible. And if you dont believe me, heres proof that it is indeed a joke.

    Rims made out of antelope's horn, nettings made out of zebra's skin, and a basketball made out of sheep's testicles. Sounds real to me. I hope the magic will be able to sign him.

    It is totally a joke. No offense to anyone who fell for it, but I got some nice beach front property I'd like to sell you in Utah. BTW, reading the description about him playing with basketballs made of sheep testicles was especially hilarious.

    LOL. That's hilarious dude. I know you're only kidding [​IMG]

    BTW the tallest dude ever would have been this North Korean guy that was 7'8" and half. That guy would have been so injury prone.

    "But I think it's safe to say that we all speak the language of basketball," Sefu says. "Even though Chimezie has been playing all his life with a ball made out of fused sheep's testicles."

    Yeah I seen this guy on CNN awhile back.

    About Kudu, I guess I should've read the whole thing. But found it odd why there isn't any full pic of him. I never look up espn, I was skeptical but still just hopeful I would see somebody almost 8 feet tall. Damn!

    That is total bs right there. Very funny though. What's funnier yet, the amount of people who thought he was a real person.

    Not to mention how they got him to pose next to Yao and Shaq wearing custom-made jerseys. Or where did he get those two rocks in his earlobes.

    I believe the face in the picture is none other than LeBron.

    It's obviously a joke by reading the article. I actually LOL'd when some of you believed it.

    This story was just a joke...the writer who wrote this even admitted it...he said he was actually surprised ppl took it serious.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">No, Chimezie Kudu does not mean "Sidd Finch" in Hottentot. But, despite geographical obstacles, Chimezie is a very close relative of the fictional pitcher dreamed up by the late great George Plimpton in the April 1, 1985 issue of Sports Illustrated.


    I thought "The Legend of Kudu" wouldn't have been believed on any day of the year. But my e-mail inbox does not lie. I received almost 500 messages with the subject lines like: "Truth or not?", "Chimezie: Fact or fiction?", "Request for Kudu's agent's information."

    [...]

    it was accurate reporting of a fictional figure. I stand by my fake story and all the made-up facts in it.

    The part that gave it away for me was

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">"Because he's exactly 7-foot-11, I'm already talking to the people at 7-Eleven and they might want him to endorse their new cheesy hot dog."</div>

    lol

    Lol, it pays to read it good. The only thing I read was his reach was 10 feet. That's some short azz arms for somebody that tall. That's all I could think about. That's fake as hell too. Somebody that tall hands should be 25 inches long. [​IMG]
