When an average person stands next to a basketball player, they often feel like a dwarf. Average NBA player is 6 feet, 7 inches tall, but when those 6’7’’ guys stand next to the guys on this list, they also feel belittled.

I'm 5'7 and 3 quarters so im basically 5'8 but we always seeing shoes so u gotta add a inch so really in 5'9 but u always gotta add to the nearest ten so really I'm 5'10 but u gotta carry the one to really I'm 5'11 And we all know that 5'11 Is really just 6'0 but 6'0 is a awkward height so I'm 6'1 but 6'1 is a prime number and u can't just let it hang so in 6'2 so my official height is 5'7 but I'm really 6'2?

Just for likes! ? Lame
so everyone is 7’5 - 7’6
Thanks
I met Muresan 15 years ago on a beach of a Greek Island. We took a picture together, I'm 1,85 and I look like a child in that picture. He's a kind and humble guy.

Manute Bol(7’7) and Muggsy (5’3) played on the same team at the same time.
I first used to think Spud Webb was the first short NBA player
The tallest and the shortest in one team
@@errolthomas9426 Spud Webb is the shortest in won a slam dunk competition
Manute was a real giant! What a player. Believe me, hes so much bigger and taller in person. I never met him but I did meet a guy on the New haven Green, who wasn't a basket ball player. He worked as a maintenance worker in a Power Plant. He stood 7ft-7½" and about 400 lbs... I had to meet him... Standing next to him, I felt like a 5 year old kid! He told me his wife was tall as well 6ft-8"
Both got drafted the same year also
Can't wait to see Tacko Fall getting actual playing time.

Good video with one exception. Mark Eaton played for over 10 years, never got hurt and set an alltime shot blocks per game record. One season he averaged over 4.5 blocks per game, winning Defensive player of the year. With Utah he was very successful with Karl Malone and John Stockton. But they got edged out by Kareem(7'3 in shoes) and Magic. He was 7'4 about 290. He would get 10 blocks and 10 points on occasion.
RIP Manut Bol 🇸🇸, we do have a basketball court here in South Sudan named after him, founded by loul Deng
@@imaginedying111 bro they aren't that poor.
His son now plays in the NBA now, Bol Bol
You showed a clip of Mark Eaton (with Manute Bol), but didn't mention him. He is another 7'4" guy, and he had a pretty big impact (defensively), and a pretty long career, and was worth a mention.
Was about to point this out, thanks.
Manute bol was 7'7 not 7'4
@@dylanjb4065 Mark Eaton was listed as 7'4". I was just saying he was in the clip with Bol for reference purposes. The comment was not about Bol.
I love Yao Ming that man was incredible I wish he won a ring his amazing career.
Yao is the most skilled one, damn that dude was quick for his size
“Yao Ming is the only person that makes shaq look small” *Proceeds to make a list full of people taller than shaq*
Taller doesn't mean bigger though. Some of these guys are or were super skinny. Manute Bol is ridiculous. Some consider him to have been the tallest player ever, and he entered the league at a dumbfounding 190 lbs, which would be quite light even for someone a full foot shorter.
but sun mingming will make yao ming small..
Taller doesn't necessarily mean bigger or larger unless the taller individual is heavier. Height is just the dimension that makes up your body. So Shaq would be larger than most or probably all of the players mentioned above.
The best of luck
Manute Bol throwing up 3s like he was Iverson.😂😂😂
If anyone was wondering, Muresan actually coaches right now, at the community center in Falls Church, VA.
Turtle :) that’s cool! But I’d rather go with anyone else, Muresan sucked in the NBA tbh
Matin Tabatabaee ru dumb? Get your mind right dumbass
Matin Tabatabaee Shaq averaged more points. And there’s so much more, you clearly don’t know what basketball is 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Matin Tabatabaee are you like a fan of muresan, bro look at his stats and you’ll change your mind. Tm if only you were educated.
@Matin Tabatabaee He is right. For a nba player he was pretty mediocre. Of course nobody could do what he did but for his height. He was a meh rebounder. Dennis Rodman usually had more than him but he was a good blocker.
6"5 -6"8 is like a sweet spot in height IMO. Wish I was around that height anything above would be too much.
Lol sweet spot for what exactly 😂 If you meant regular, everyday life would say 6'3- 6'7 anything above is just comical and awkward. Imo.
6’8 is getting to the point where your life expectancy is going to be greatly reduced...might be worth it for the puzzy you’d get though😂😂
Anything above 6"4 would be a problem.
For everyday life I'd say 5'10 to 6'2 is the sweet spot
I'd take 6-6'2. Anything over is inconvenient
manute bol actually couldve played longer in the nba but he started a revolution in sudan he partly was the driving force for the creation of south sudan
"The only Guy that could make shaq look small" Then proceeds to name even taller players..

Nice job. I really like your Chanel.
No one seems to remember how Tacko Fall was the only person to give Zion Williamson trouble in the 2019 March Madness, taking Duke to the wire. Tacko can ball. I hope he sees minutes soon.
These videos are such a nice distraction from the madness in the world. Basketball was a huge part of my youth and I still love it and remember watching MJ as a kid being totally transfixed by what I was witnessing. It's a great game. Like jazz.
thanks for share the top ten tall players
I’ve met yao Ming at one of my basketball games (His daughter was in the same team as me)
That’s really cool.
That Boban clip where ad trying to get the ball might be my favourite clip 😂
im so happy to see sim bhullar on this list. rarely see him listed

Good stuff
Be that tall looks like a curse unless you’re making good money in basketball with it
Ralph Sampson was 7'4" tall, was a #1 draft pick, ROY, 4 time All Star, and All Star MVP. Injuries shortened his career.
Ralph Sampson was Best player among giants of all time ! He have a speed, technic, high jumping power and strength ! 👍

You forgot muggsy bogues
Boban has that nasty game tho 31 and 17 before the shutdown
He was a beast that game. Hopefully he gets more minutes... it's like, every time he gets it down low he looks like he's gonna score it
James Puso no doubt boban is highly skilled he was really good in euro league but different rules make it a lot harder for him
12 or 11even 13 year difference maybe.
According to months and dates 11 and 13 years is possible sort of more like 11, but most likely just 12.
3:32 Bruh Chuck looks like he’s younger than he was in the 80’s
Good video.
Nice compilation. I dont think I heard you say why Sean Bradley chose the semi strange number of 76 though. Because it was his height.
imagine you have 7'7 forward and 7'7.5 center
imagine if Robert wadlow the 8'11" giant played in the NBA..
Towered over everyone
Height alone does not make for a good center plenty of tall freaks could not play at all. It takes heart coordination and athleticism and brains a rare combination. The best centers have all been between 6 ft 9 and 7ft 2. any taller and they were mediocre at best with one or two exceptions. Over 7 ft 4 and they talent drops off sharply.
Manuke Bol was my favorite loved his smile.
I just relized that yao ming face has been be a meme
why is everyone getting georghe muresans name wrong You pronounce it like horhei.
InsaneNacho has now I feel bad I worked out with him before at my camp 2 years in a row
I thought ge ore gay was how it was pronounced
I always pronounced it HoreHey
I thought it was gea horge XD
It’s actually Gheorghe Mureșan but ok
Yao made the biggest meme just out of his smile
THIS GUY DROPPIN BARS
You say Manute wasn't skilled? The dude sunk 6 3's in 1 half with ease and blocked some major shots for years. He was an asset for sure
Dude chill its only 1 game 🤣 he made 6 threes but in that season he only made 10 overall. He is also a 20% 3pt shooter 🤣 asset my a&&, he was only great in shot blocking bc of his length. He is also a bad rebounder bc of his small frame.
I walked past muresan last time i was at the capital one arena and i never felt so tiny in my life

The average male height in the world is around 5'7-5'8... an avg basketball player is 6'7.... Bol and Muresan were literally a whole foot taller than the average NBA player.... let's think about this for a moment...
4:09 bro that dunk was nasty top 10 most disrespectful plays bruh how come nobody commented on that 😂
I don't know what he was doing there. Look's to me, like he was not really good in defense at all. That probably made him a "target" for posterizing more than anything else.
The earthquakes from the running would be insanity
They're forgetting Mark Eaton who at 7 foot five played for the jazz in the 80s and I think maybe very early 90s. Was voted defensive player of the year and an All-Star numerous times.

@Liam Henderson tbf, that's pretty tall for a female. If your Mom's tall, even if your Dad's average you're almost guaranteed to still be tall as well.
Just watch wnba, they're not all that tall, avg height is 5'11.
@Liam Henderson ur a milk man son
Since they started with 7'4, they should have either went with Rik Smits or Ralph Sampson instead of a guy who doesn't play much. I would have went with Smits. He could probably still play in today's open floor game. He was shooting 3's too, as well as dominating the paint. "The Dunkin' Dutchman"
Cant wait to see the Collosol Titan to play
It wasn’t because Yao couldn’t keep up with the pace. His knees gave out sooner than it should due to playing for China during every nba off-season, insane.
You skipped Mark Eaton...listed at 7'4", played his whole career alongside Stockton & Malone....he was probably 7'5", with very wide shoulders and very long arms. You also skipped 7'4" Rick Smitts....the Dutchman for the Pacers....I think Minute Bol still has the longest wingspan ever....Ralph Sampson also, might have been the most skilled Center, listed at 7'4"
Just FYI, Yasutaka Okayama, a 7-foot-8-inch Japanese basketball player picked 171st overall in the seventh round of the 1981 NBA Draft by the Golden State Warriors, is the tallest player to ever be drafted for the NBA. But he never actually played during a NBA game or made a roster, so he doesn't count. He probably never left Japan.
"or fetching balls when no one else can do it" *the 7'3 guy next to boban:*
I love tacko but Yao and Shawn Bradley are taller
