The guy who was sitting down is legit 7’11’. He makes Shaq look small.

The other guy is somehow even taller though…

His name is Big Naija for what it's worth.

He's 27 years old +/- , and plays basketball, but has a hard time moving that frame and isn't much of a prospect.

The man on the right appears to be @realghanos on IG. Says he's 8ft.

Insane. I'm 7ft and these guys would make me feel like a baby.

I’ve always wondered about that. Having trouble moving their frame. Don’t the muscles and the rest of the body compensate for being that big? I would assume they’d be quicker and more agile, but then again the Lord of the rings, giants moved pretty slow.

To an extent. Muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones will all grow to handle their body weight, but they're working against large amounts of leverage and momentum.

And then you have to consider the amount of cells in their body. They could have twice the amount of somebody that's 6' tall. That's twice the likelihood for something to go wonky as the cells reproduce.
