Yeah, this is absurd.

 

[Iggy]

WTF?! That guys massive!! How old is he?

 

[SP23]

I was switching threw channels and he was batting, and then his Dad or Mom was holding a sign that said like we need a back-up Size 18 shoes, and I'm like WTF!, he's 6'8 and like 256 pounds. I was thinking how this kid could be 12 or 13.

 

[Run BJM]

That guy is huge, looks like hes 28.

Reminds me of my friends brother who is 12 years old and 6'3. He was playing in some little league championship game against a team from another county and he was up to bat. The pitcher threw him a ball and this 6'3 kid nails a line drive right back to the pitchers face (pitcher is probably about 5'2), my friend was watching the game and he said he thought the kid died upon impact. Last I heard the pitcher was in Stanford Hospital for a week and had just re-gained his hearing, which he had lost for a while and he was still really messed up (though I think he'll heal fully...eventually). Could still be in the hospital for all I know but this happened last month so I doubt it.

Looks like the two white kids are about to start something.........

 

[Brasco]

Shaq was not even as tall and heavy as this kid at 13. if he keeps growing he's gonna be like 7'3" 350 pounds! Forget Baseball try basketball.

 

[P.A.P.]

I grew up with someone who was his height at 13 as well, he's like one of the best under 19 basketball players in Canada right now.

Brasco, Shaq was 6'8 250 at age 13.

they could headbutt him in the nuts.

 

[WhiteManCanJump]

Check his birth certificate. I don't believe it. Even something like 6 foot 3 is a stretch, but 6'8"? Come on. I'm going to have to contact the Mavericks and get them to talk to him about switching sports

 

[P.A.P.]

Well you know...their are some very tall kids out there...

 

[huevonkiller]

I knew a 6'6 13 year old kid so I'm not surprised.

 

[Da Nang Thang]

He looks like he's 40. I wish I could be his height though...This guy's playing the wrong sport, he needs to switch. Somebody needs to lock him up in a gym with just a basketball.

Yes because every big person that ever existed made it to the NBA right?

 

[SP23]

Who knows, he may also be a basketball player?

Actually shaq was "only" 6'6 at 13

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">At a military base in Wildflecken, West Germany, LSU basketball coach Dale Brown gives a clinic. He spots Shaquille and asks, "Where are you from soldier?" "I'm not a soldier," replied O'Neal, then 6-foot-6. "I'm 13-years-old." Brown immediately begins recruiting Shaq. </div>

Heard the story many times, and 6'8" 250 is the height and given. I even remember the LSU coach telling the story himself and saying he was 6'8".

 

[VinsanityVC15]

AHAHAHAH thats too funny, he was born a joker. You can just imagine him looking down on the general. For some reason I get an image of the scene where Martin Lawrance's daughters boyfriend knocks on the door for the first date in Bad Boys 2.

Anyone see this on the Daily Show last night? They had a pretty funny little segment about the Little League World Series and this beast of a child.
