Alright, let’s talk about these big fellas in the basketball, you know, the NBA. The ones that make the court shake when they run. We ain’t talkin’ ’bout no skinny minnies here, we’re talkin’ about the fattest, the heaviest, the biggest boys the game has ever seen.
Now, I heard tell of this fella, Gheorghe Muresan. They say he was the tallest ever, and that ain’t no small potatoes. But height ain’t everything, see? This man, they say he weighed a whopping 302 pounds! That’s like two of me, and I ain’t exactly a featherweight! Can you imagine that? 302 pounds! He musta needed a whole team of horses to carry him up and down that court! But that’s what they say, 137 kilograms, which is the same as 302 pounds. Heavy fella, that Muresan.
Then there’s this Tacko Fall fella. Heard about him on the TV, the fella’s real tall too! And heavy! They say he’s 311 pounds! Can you believe it? 311 pounds! Lord have mercy, that’s a lot of man! Makes me wonder how them fellas even jump! He’s 28 years old, they say. Still young, that one.
But the real king of the heavyweights, the one they say is the fattest NBA player of all time, that’s Oliver Miller. Yes sir, Oliver Miller. Now, this fella, he started out regular sized, you know, ’round 280 pounds. But as the years went by, he just kept gettin’ bigger and bigger. Like a snowball rollin’ downhill, just packin’ on the pounds. They say he got all the way up to 375 pounds, some even say 380! Can you even picture that? 380 pounds! That’s like a whole dang cow! He played center, they say. Makes sense, I guess. You ain’t gonna see a fella that big runnin’ around like them little guards, no sir. He hailed from the University of Arkansas. Good school, I hear.
- Gheorghe Muresan: 302 pounds, real tall fella.
- Tacko Fall: 311 pounds, young fella.
- Oliver Miller: Up to 380 pounds, the heaviest of them all.
Now, they got some heavy fellas playin’ nowadays too. This Jusuf Nurkic fella, they say he’s the heaviest active player. Means he’s still playin’, see? He’s 7 feet tall and weighs 290 pounds. That’s a big’un, alright. But he ain’t no Oliver Miller, no sir. Nobody’s quite as big as Oliver Miller was.
I tell you what, it takes all kinds to play this basketball game. You got your skinny fellas, your tall fellas, and then you got your big, heavy fellas. And them big fellas, they bring somethin’ special to the game. They’re like brick walls, you ain’t gettin’ past ’em easy. And when they come down with a rebound, you best get outta the way! They’re a force to be reckoned with, that’s for sure.
So, there you have it. A little somethin’ ’bout the fattest NBA players. Them fellas that make the ground shake. They’re somethin’ else, ain’t they?
I also heard about this James Bass fella. He’s from Dakar, Senegal. They say he’s 6-10 and 200 pounds. He plays forward. Not as heavy as them other fellas, but still a big boy, you know.
