Alright, listen up, y’all. We’re gonna talk about these big ol’ basketball fellas, the ones who make the court shake when they walk. You know, the real heavy hitters. We’re tryin’ to figure out who’s the heaviest NBA player, ain’t we?
Now, I heard tell of a fella named Tacko Fall. Big as a barn, they say. Weighs in at somethin’ like 311 pounds. That’s a whole lotta man, let me tell ya. He’s one of them fellas you see and just think, “Goodness gracious, that boy needs a bigger door!”

Then there’s this Boban Marjanović fella. Another giant! They say he’s around 290 pounds. Not quite as heavy as Tacko, but still, you wouldn’t wanna bump into him in the grocery store, that’s for sure. He’d probably knock over all the canned peaches.
But hold on, the story don’t end there. Seems like there’s always someone bigger and heavier out there. I heard whispers about a fella named Joel Embiid. Now, they don’t say exactly how much he weighs, but they put him on that list of “heaviest NBA players.” So, you know he ain’t no lightweight.
But the real king of the heavyweights, the biggest of ’em all, gotta be Oliver Miller. Lord have mercy, they say this fella tipped the scales at a whopping 380 pounds! Can you even imagine? That’s like two regular fellas put together. He started out a bit lighter, but seems like he just kept packin’ on the pounds. Must’ve loved his mama’s cookin’, I reckon.
- Tacko Fall – around 311 pounds
- Boban Marjanović – around 290 pounds
- Joel Embiid – a big fella, weight not specified but he’s up there
- Oliver Miller – the heaviest at a massive 380 pounds
Now, they don’t have no weight limits in that NBA, you know. Unlike them football fellas, these basketball players can be as big as they wanna be. Makes sense, I guess. You need some big bodies under that basket to grab them rebounds and whatnot.
So, if you ask me who is the heaviest NBA player, well, it sounds like it’s gotta be Oliver Miller. 380 pounds, that’s just somethin’ else. But those other fellas, Tacko and Boban and even that Embiid fella, they ain’t exactly small fries either. They’re all big, strong boys, and they make their presence known on that court.
It’s kinda amazin’, ain’t it? All these big fellas, runnin’ and jumpin’ and throwin’ that ball around. Must take a whole lotta energy. I bet they eat like horses. But hey, that’s their job, and they do it well. They entertain folks and give ’em somethin’ to cheer about.
So, next time you watch one of them basketball games, pay attention to those big fellas under the basket. They’re the ones doin’ the heavy liftin’, literally. And remember, Oliver Miller, he’s the king of the heavyweights, the biggest of ’em all. 380 pounds, that’s a number you don’t forget too easy.

And that’s all I gotta say about that. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make myself a sandwich. All this talk about big fellas made me hungry.
