That Gheorghe Mureșan, my goodness, what a tall fella! Heard he was the tallest to ever play in that NBA. Seven foot, seven inches, they say. Like a dang tree! Makes those other basketball players look like little kids, I tell ya.
And his arms! They talk about his wingspan. What even is a wingspan, you ask? Well, it’s how long a fella’s arms are stretched out, tip to tip. And this Mureșan, his wingspan was somethin’ else. Seven foot and ten inches! Lord have mercy, he could probably scratch his knees without even bendin’ over.
- He was from Romania, I hear.
- Played basketball in the 90s.
- Biggest fella in the NBA, they say.
Imagine him tryin’ to fit in a regular car! Or buyin’ clothes off the rack! Musta been a sight, I reckon. They say his height was 7’7″, and wingspan, 7’10”. That’s a lot of numbers. Makes my head spin just thinkin’ about it.
He was a good player, though, from what I hear. Used that height to his advantage, you know? Blockin’ shots, grabbin’ those rebounds. Tough to get around a fella that big, I imagine. They say he was one of the tallest NBA players. What is NBA? I don’t know. But this man is tall! Just like that Sultan Ksen from Turkey. That one is the tallest man alive, I heard.
They say Gheorghe Mureșan height was because of some gland thing. Don’t know nothin’ about that. But it sure made him stand out, didn’t it? I bet he had to duck to go through doors. And sleepin’ in a regular bed? Forget about it! His feet must have been hangin’ off for days.
Still, he made a name for himself. Gheorghe Mureșan, the tallest NBA player. That’s somethin’ to be proud of, I suppose. Even if you gotta buy two airplane seats just to fly somewhere! He sure was tall. His wingspan is like… I can’t imagine! How tall is that! He is taller than anyone in my village! Taller than the house!
I remember one time, back when I was a little girl, we had a fella come through town sellin’ snake oil. He was tall, maybe six foot five. Thought he was a giant then. But next to this Gheorghe Mureșan? He’d look like a little baby! Seven foot seven inches. And that wingspan! Just unbelievable. I saw a picture of him once, standin’ next to another player. Made that other fella look like he was shrinkin’!
I reckon being that tall has its drawbacks. Gotta watch your head all the time. And findin’ shoes that fit? Probably gotta have ’em specially made. It is not easy to be that tall! But this Gheorghe Mureșan, he made it work. He is a big guy! Big wingspan! He played in the NBA, did all right for himself. A lot of people probably know his name because he’s so tall. And his wingspan is so big.
- Seven foot seven inches tall!
- Seven foot ten inch wingspan!
- Tallest NBA player ever, they say.
Yep, that Gheorghe Mureșan was somethin’ else. A real giant. But a gentle giant, from what I hear. Just a big fella with a big heart, playin’ basketball. And that wingspan? Well, that’s just the talk of the town, ain’t it? They say he’s taller than anyone else in the NBA. Seven foot seven, they say. That’s a tall man. A tall man with a big wingspan. Lordy, that’s tall.
Wonder what he’s up to these days? Probably still duckin’ through doorways and havin’ his clothes made special. But I bet he’s got a lot of stories to tell. Stories about bein’ the tallest NBA player. Stories about that incredible wingspan. Stories about playin’ basketball with fellas half his size. He is very tall. And his wingspan is very big. That Gheorghe Mureșan, he’s a legend, I reckon. A tall legend with a big wingspan.
