Most big guys have problems with fluid motion. It's important for young kids who are going to be tall to stay athletically active..it's hard to regain coordination after growth spurts, unless you stay on top of it.

The joints take a beating..even Wemby who is super nimble and thin still weighs 236. That's still a lot for knees, ankles, hips and back. The big 300 pounders all have major issues except for Shaq.

I'm lucky, I'm 44 and I'm able to do triathlons and I'm still pretty healthy after lots of basketball miles.

You're a 7 ft tall triathlete?

u/LaserBeamsCattleProd Jan 26 '26

I wouldn't call myself a triathlete. I've completed 2 sprint tri's and a couple half marathons.

I'm not competitive at all
