At 7’7″, Paul Sturgess is college basketball’s tallest player. Actually, Sturgess is the tallest basketball player in the United States period (Yao Ming is a mere 7’6″). The crazy thing is that Sturgess is actually 7’8″ and still growing. The Brit is still 5 inches shorter than Sultan Kosen, who is currently the tallest man in the world at 8’1″.
He can dunk without jumping. He barely fits into a car. If you were standing next to him his nuts would be in your face. It will be interesting whether Paul can manage his height and make a career in the NBA.
Right now he’s focused on improving his skills at Mountain State University. Only time will tell if Paul will become a multi-millionaire or just be the tallest guy in the history of accounts receivable.
great post! that kid is crazy tall! lol being able to dunk without jumping is a joke!!!
kids gonna develope scoliosis if he sits in a car too long…. when it rains it poors
the next kenny george!! if you dont remember, he was the 7′ 9″ player for UNC Asheville a few years ago, but got a bad case of MRSA and had to have part of his foot amputated, ultimately ending his career
