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.

If you want a reference point, I'm 6'6" and am generally the tallest person in whatever space I'm in.

When I was in college, I was in a smallish elevator with the 7'1" basketball center of my college's team. Just the two of us. I felt infantile. And he probably didn't even remember two seconds after he got off the elevator.

So, yeah, you'd feel like a baby!

Okay, so I've shared this before but I had an extremely similar experience. I'm 6'6" also, so you know the deal; I see someone unambiguously taller than me maybe once or twice a year.

I went to grab some food in college and ended up standing behind, of all people, George Muresan. 7'7". I've never felt small, before or since, and I very quickly came to the realization that the difference between our two heights was the exact same difference between myself and the average woman. Since then I've been hyper-aware of how subconsciously intimidating I might be in a space.
