Jenneral Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Guinness World Records said that 8 foot 1 inch (2.47 meter) Sultan Kosen, from the town of Mardin in eastern Turkey, is now officially the tallest man walking the planet. Although the previous record holder, Ukrainian Leonid Stadnyk, reportedly measured 8 feet 5.5 inches (2.57 meters), Guinness said he was stripped of his title when he declined to let anyone confirm his height.

It would be worth a shot seeing as we can't really get much worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentch Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Lol just cuz he's 8'1" doesn't mean he has skills to run back and forth down the court consistently, guard a player that is probably twice as quick as him, and make free throws, all while keeping up with the pace of the game.
