He was a guest on Infinite Youth season 2, episode 19... all those girls looked like children next to him. It looked like an optical illusion sometimes. These shows are subbed in English.

(This series is worth watching just for Suzy Bae and Sunny)
He was also a guest on “Happy Together” where they discussed being very tall and very short. NOTE: The older lady and Sunny from the other show are also on this one. It is hosted by Yoo Jae-Suk (The Nation’s MC) who has a show on all 3 SK networks. Subbed in English.

And I thought I was skinny when I was a8 at 6’2” and 140 lbs.
Where would Robert B. Reichhhhhhhhhh-uh, be?
he is hiding in Tom’s pocket...
At Madame Tussauds in Vegas they have a full size version of Shaq standing under a basketball hoop in a guarding stance. There is always a basketball there so you can pretend and have someone snap your picture.
I worked at the Carrier Dome at Syracuse when I was at school there back in the mid 80’s. I remember standing once between Ronny Seikaly and Patrick Ewing. My shoulders were not quite even with their waists.
Yeah, its not just how tall they are, but how wide, how thick and how deep.
Watching Manute try to run was the most painful thing, for him and the viewer. It looked like he would break in two at any moment. He was on the Bullets during 5ft 3in Muggsy Bogues rookie season, there was a 28 inch height difference between them.

Ha. Thanks
ROTFL! This thread is getting fun!
I was 6'2" and 130 lbs when I went in the service in '68. Now I'm around 210.
Now I’m around 210....Skinny ol’ turd. You need a cheeseburg and two cases of beer. (119 in 1968 at 5’10. N0w 213).
Nah, probably not..........I think he's a Chinese shoe salesman.......
Shaq and George Foreman are two of my favorite after sports icons............They've made their bucks, they're good people and they don't take themselves serious in their commercials or interviews..........
Remember he did this as a response to the Black Power salutes that Tommie Smith and John Carlos did on the Podium.
Another Afrikaner who never forgot where he came from.
In the 1990s, Bol tried to warn the US, which included visiting the Pentagon, meeting with 58 members of Congress, and the State Department, of the rising threat of Islamic fundamentalism generally and of Osama bin Laden, specifically, who had been given safe-haven by the Sudanese government in the early-mid-1990s. He said that his concerns were dismissed.[31]
Bol established the Ring True Foundation in order to continue fund-raising for Sudanese refugees. He gave most of his earnings (an estimated $3.5 million) to their cause. In 2002, Fox TV agreed to broadcast the telephone number of his Ring True Foundation in exchange for Bol's agreement to appear on their Celebrity Boxing show. After the referee goaded, "If you guys don't box, you won't get paid", he scored a third-round victory over former football player William "The Refrigerator" Perry.
In the fall of 2002, Bol signed a one-day contract with the Indianapolis Ice of the Central Hockey League. Even though he could not skate, the publicity generated by his single game appearance helped raise money to assist children in Sudan.[32] Bol once suited up as a horse jockey for similar reasons.
A number of years ago I read an interview of a top college basketball coach who traveled to China to conduct basketball clinics. In the outer regions, he said he has never seen so many 7 footers attending his clinics in his life........
Which makes you wonder whether or not the Chinese are experimenting with genetic modifications on humans........and which may also explain the rise in their competitive levels in olympic competitions..........
Yes he is and I am so happy that he didn't lose his boxing fortunes to shyster managers and ended up a loser in a back alley somewhere.......
