Alright, let’s gab about these fellas, you know, the ones who really pack on the pounds in that basketball game, the NBA. We’re talkin’ the heaviest guys, the ones that make the court shake when they run, ya hear?
Big fellas, real big
Now, I ain’t no expert, but I heard tell of this fella, Oliver Miller. They say he was the heaviest of ’em all. Lord have mercy, that man weighed somethin’ like 375 pounds! Can you imagine? That’s like two of me, and I ain’t exactly a skinny chicken myself. They say he started out a bit lighter, you know, around 280 pounds, but as the years went by, he just kept gettin’ bigger and bigger. Like a good ol’ pumpkin in the fall, just swellin’ up.
But don’t let that weight fool ya, this Oliver fella, he wasn’t just some big oaf. They say he could play ball real good. Good passin’ skills, they said. He could score points, grab them rebounds, and even block shots. Imagine that, a fella that big movin’ that fast and blockin’ shots. He was somethin’ else, that’s for sure.
- Big and Talented: He wasn’t just heavy; he was a good player too. Points, rebounds, assists, the whole shebang.
- Heavy, but Agile (sorta): For a big fella, he could move alright. Not like a deer, mind you, but he got around.
Other big fellas in the game
Now, Oliver wasn’t the only big fella in the NBA, no sir. There was this other one, Gheorghe Muresan. Now, he wasn’t quite as heavy as Oliver, weighed in around 302 pounds, but he was taller, the tallest ever they say! Imagine that, a mountain of a man. Probably had to duck when he walked through doorways.
Thinkin’ about it, it’s kinda amazin’ how these big fellas can move around on that court. All that runnin’ and jumpin’, must be hard on their joints. But they do it, and they do it good. It just goes to show ya, size ain’t everything, but it sure can help in basketball, especially when you got some skill to go with it.
Heavyweight History
So, when you’re watchin’ those basketball games and you see a big fella out there, remember Oliver Miller. He’s the one they all compare to, the heaviest of them all. A legend in his own right, I reckon. He showed the world that big guys can play ball too. And don’t forget that Gheorghe fella neither, tallest one ever! They all make the game more excitin’, that’s for sure. Makes ya wonder who’ll be the next big fella to come along and break those records.
More on Miller
You know, I keep thinkin’ about this Oliver Miller fella. 375 pounds! That’s a whole lotta man. I bet he ate like a horse. And those shoes, they must’ve been somethin’ special, had to be strong enough to hold all that weight. It’s somethin’ to ponder on, ain’t it? The man was a true heavyweight champion of the basketball court.
So there you have it, a little somethin’ about the heaviest fellas in the NBA. It ain’t always about bein’ skinny and fast, sometimes bein’ big and strong is what gets the job done. Just like in farmin’, sometimes you need a big ol’ tractor to pull that plow, and sometimes in basketball, you need a big ol’ fella to get those rebounds and score those points.
Last word on size
Anyways, I’ve rambled on enough about these basketball fellas. Just remember, big or small, it’s all about heart and playin’ the game the best you can. And those big fellas like Oliver Miller and Gheorghe Muresan, they sure did that. Big fellas, they were, big fellas.
