Highlights: Abiodun Adegoka is the tallest basketball player in the world at 2.41 meters. The Nigerian (2.41 m) did not start a professional career, but he did become a network star with 140 thousand followers on Instagram. This week he got to spend a few hours with one of the greatest centers ever - Shaquille O'Neal, who looks like an average person next to him, even though he himself is 2.16 meters tall. Despite the unusual size, it seems that Adagoka will not become a professional basketball player. There is almost no information about him on the web (apart from viral videos)


No one really knows how old Abiodun Adegoka is, the career did not take off as expected, but the Nigerian (2.41 m) nevertheless became a viral star and got to stamp on the head of the legendary former center

Abiodun Adegoka already captured the net years ago, with a number of articles that crowned him as the tallest basketball player in the world - 2.41 meters.

Adagoka did not start a professional career, but he did become a network star with 140 thousand followers on Instagram.

This week he got to spend a few hours with one of the greatest centers ever - Shaquille O'Neal, who looks like an average person next to him, even though he himself is 2.16 meters tall.

Adagoka even stamped on the amused Shaq's head.

Despite the unusual size, it seems that Adagoka will not become a professional basketball player.

There is almost no information about him on the web (apart from viral videos), and on his Instagram he makes sure to post videos from rather empty halls from the academy in Dubai, where he is currently playing.
