World's Tallest Man, once played hoops
Many people will have heard of Robert Wadlow, undeniably the world's tallest man, who reached 8'11" (272cm) eight days before his death. He wore size 37 shoes and was 223kg at his heaviest point.
Here's a video with a brief moment of him playing basketball (around about the 3'40" mark of the video). Given that he struggled to walk, he might not have been a force in the current professional leagues!
