    Not that difficult to dominate when you're 7'5 and play with low level competition.
    Would like to hear about his skills and basics, the article really says nothing.

    Is he related to that scrub from the Wizards?

    I have a feeling this kid will get an NBA contract because he's tall, but will play like garbage.

    I played basketball for a small Christian high school. At 6'1", I was the 2nd tallest player on the team, the tallest being 6'2". This was common, the tallest player I ever played against was 6'5". You drop a 7'5" guy in a league like that and he's going to dominate even with subpar skills.

    My 9 years old 6'2" nephew is dominating the elementary school hoops. We wonder why there are still no pro basketball teams offered him a contract yet.

    His coach says he's going to be a pro some day, but he doesnt look like he has the mobility for that level. Maybe he just needs to get in better conditioning, but he looks awfully slow and old.

    Change his name to Mamadou. Seems like a good hoops name.

    Yea, that secret formula is a Tumor on the pituitary gland. He probably wont live to be 30

    Pretty sad story actually in my opinion, I hope that guy gets treatment and can live a normal life
