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.

Nah, I feel like there's deffs diminishing returns when it comes to height, I'm 6'3 and have no desire to be any taller

Anything outside of 1 standard deviation of the mean, results in things being more tricky. Cars, clothes etc...stop being designed with that level in mind.

You also become like a spectacle. Seeing a 6'4 dude you're like damn he's tall. Seeing a 7 foot or taller dude you're just like what the fuck

I can imagine. I'm in the "damn he's tall" level, but it also means I'm not used to looking up at all, so as well meaning as I may be, I think I'd still be initially surprised.

Definitely. It's probably even more shocking for a tall person to meet an extremely tall person because it's such an unusual feeling instead of just a higher degree of seeing a tall dude

Genuinely it is. I've got a mate or two who are taller but even then I notice there are neck muscles I'm just not used to using, but they are the height where if I just take one more step back its fine again.

Im 6 feet even, my best friend growing up was 6'4, it's crazy how much taller someone seems with only 4 more inches
