Alright, let’s gab about these big fellas in the basketball, you know, the NBA. Folks keep askin’ who’s the heaviest, like it’s the most important thing. Well, I heard tell there was this fella, Oliver Miller, they called him “Big O”. Now, that fella, he was somethin’ else. Started out regular-sized, I guess, ’round 280 pounds, but then he just kept gettin’ bigger and bigger, like a bread dough risin’ too fast. They say he got up to 380 pounds! Imagine that! That’s like two regular people glued together, I swear. He was from Arkansas, that boy, and played for eight years, so he must’ve been good, even bein’ that big.
But that was a while back. Now, they got some other big ‘uns. There’s this Boban Marjanović fella. He’s from Serbia, I think. Big as a barn door, that one. They say he’s around 290 pounds. That’s still a whole lot of man, ain’t it? He’s playin’ right now, so you can see him on the TV if you want. He’s hard to miss, let me tell you.
Then there’s this other fella, Tacko Fall. Now, that name, Tacko, sounds funny, don’t it? But he ain’t nothin’ to laugh at. He’s even bigger than Boban, weighin’ in at 311 pounds! Can you believe it? He’s a tall drink of water too, makes all them other fellas look small. I seen him on TV once, and I thought, “Goodness gracious, that boy needs a bigger court!”
- So, to recap, that Oliver fella, he was the heaviest ever, way back when.
- But right now, you got Boban at 290 and Tacko at 311. That’s a lot of beef on the court, I tell ya.
They talk about others too, like this Joel Embiid fella. They say he’s up there too, but I ain’t sure exactly how much he weighs. But these young fellas, they’re all big and strong. It’s a different game now, I guess. Folks used to be smaller, quicker maybe. Now, it’s all about power, seems like. Big guys bangin’ around under the basket, grabbin’ rebounds, and dunkin’ the ball. It’s somethin’ to watch, I gotta say. Even an old lady like me can appreciate a good dunk now and then.
Anyway, that’s the story on them big fellas. Oliver was the heaviest ever, but now you got Boban and Tacko and maybe some others. It’s hard to keep track of all these youngsters. They just keep gettin’ bigger and stronger every year, it seems. Makes you wonder where it’ll all end. Maybe someday they’ll have fellas playin’ at 400 pounds! Now that would be a sight to see, wouldn’t it?
So, next time you’re watchin’ the basketball, keep an eye out for these big guys. They’re hard to miss, and they sure do make the game interestin’. It’s not just about runnin’ and jumpin’, you know. It’s about strength and power too. And these big fellas, they got plenty of that. That’s for sure.
The heaviest NBA players sure do make a difference on the court. It ain’t all about speed, you know. Sometimes you need a big fella to clear the way and get them rebounds. And these boys, they do that real good.
And that’s all I gotta say about that. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make some supper. All this talk about big fellas has made me hungry!
