Alright, so you wanna know about the heaviest NBA players right now, huh? Well, let me tell ya, these fellas ain’t small, not one bit. They’re big boys, real big, like those prize-winning pigs at the county fair, ya know?

The Biggest of ‘Em All
First off, there’s this Jusuf Nurkić fella. They say he’s seven feet tall and weighs a whopping 290 pounds. Can you imagine? Seven feet! That’s taller than my barn door! And 290 pounds? That’s like two of me, maybe even three! He’s a big one, that’s for sure. They say he’s the heaviest one playing right now, in 2024-25. Heavy as a sack of potatoes, he is.
Then there’s this other guy, Boban Marjanović. He’s also 290 pounds, same as Nurkić. Another giant! These fellas must eat a whole heap of food to keep themselves going, I tell ya. I bet their mamas are always busy cookin’. I wonder if they like fried chicken and biscuits like my grandson does. Probably eat a whole mess of it, I reckon.
The Heaviest Ever, They Say
Now, they also talk about this Oliver Miller fella. He ain’t playing no more, but they say he was the heaviest ever. Started out at 280 pounds, which is already a lot, but then he got even bigger! Imagine that! Bigger and bigger, like a snowball rolling downhill. They say he got all the way up to 380 pounds! Goodness gracious! That’s like a whole dang cow! They called him “The Big O,” and I can see why. He was 6 foot 9 inches tall too. Lordy, he musta been somethin’ to see on that basketball court.

- Jusuf Nurkić: 7 feet tall, 290 pounds – he’s playin’ right now, a big ol’ fella.
- Boban Marjanović: Also 290 pounds – another one, just as big.
- Oliver Miller: He ain’t playin’ now, but he was the biggest they say, got up to 380 pounds!
Big Boys and Basketball
I don’t know much about basketball, to be honest. It seems like a lot of runnin’ and jumpin’ around to me. But these big fellas, they gotta be strong to play that game. All that pushin’ and shovin’ under the basket, it ain’t for the faint of heart. They gotta eat their Wheaties, that’s for sure. And probably a whole lot more than just Wheaties!
I seen some basketball on that TV thing my grandson got. It’s kinda fast, hard to keep up with sometimes. But them big guys, you can’t miss ‘em. They stick out like a sore thumb, lumbering around like big bears. They gotta be careful though, all that weight, it can’t be good for their knees, I tell ya. My knees hurt just thinkin’ about it.
It’s a Big Man’s Game
So yeah, those are the heavy fellas in the basketball world, or at least some of ‘em. They’re big, they’re strong, and they sure do make an impression. I bet they eat a whole heap, and their mamas must be proud. It takes a lot to feed a fella that size, you know. Makes my grocery bill look like chicken feed. Anyways, that’s all I know about these big basketball players. They’re big, that’s for sure, and they play that basketball game. More power to ‘em, I say. Just hope they don’t hurt themselves, all that runnin’ and jumpin’ with all that weight.

And that Oliver Miller, 380 pounds? That’s just somethin’ else. Can you even imagine? I bet he needed a special bed, and his clothes musta been hard to find. Big fella, real big. The biggest ever, they say. Makes you wonder how they even move around, let alone play basketball. But they do it, and they’re famous for it. It’s a funny ol’ world, ain’t it?
