7’ 5” and 15 years old Oliver Rioux loves basketball. Where will he play college ball?

And he is not a toothpick as I suspected at first.

He'll play for that G League team for a season then go to the NBA.

Ok this is weird- see this thread and my post from Dec 29 below. That’s the same dang kid

Speaking of that sorta- I got a slice of pizza at whatever the name of the place was in the ATL airport 2 Sunday’s ago. The point you ask There was a lady in front of me who turned and looked behind us in line and this giant was there. He had an IMG Academy tshirt on and she asked for a pic with him. I did not because I’m more of a long distance stalker type that would only sneak pics. Anyway this dude was 7’5”, I know because the guy behind me asked him- again I’m cool and acted as if it was totally normal occurrence and I was unimpressed. But dang he was huge. I think I’ve mostly always or just always seen that tall of a person- in person at a game, so in real life setting was weird. I know, cool story sis.

I saw George Bell from the harlem globetrotters once. He was working at a sporting goods store (academy?) in Kenner, LA. My sister was playing in AAU national basketball tournament in Kenner and we stopped at this place to get a basketball. Dude was on the other side of a rack and looked like he was on a ladder. He aired up the basketball for my sister and his fingers and thumbs nearly touched on both sides of the ball.

At one time he was the tallest American. I just looked him up and it says 7'8" but he may have been 7'9 at the time. Here he is making Hafthor look small

First you make a rioux

7'+ seems like as much a curse as it may be a blessing.

I bet a large percentage of people that tall would say it’s far more of a curse.
