Meet The 7'11 MONSTER NBA Players Fear...

Throughout the 75 year history of the NBA, there have been exactly 26 players who stood 7'3 and beyond. These guys are considered absolute cheat codes, largely because they were just giants among men. I mean, just look at this. Anthony Davis standing at 6'10 is a relatively tall player, even in the NBA. But yet, against a 7'4 Boban, he looks like a little kid when he swipes at the ball here. And while that's funny, the scary truth is, this dude would make Boban look like a kid. Meet Abiodun Arioki, or more popularly known as Big Naija. When he was originally introduced to the world, it was said that he stood 7'9 inches tall, which would put him in alien land. But more recently, reports have been saying that he's grown, and now he stands at 7'11, which is totally mind-boggling, because he'll basically dwarf every unicorn in the NBA. He would literally be a unicorn amongst unicorns, which is just unheard of. I mean, these days, everybody is talking about the ultimate unicorn, Victor Wombanyama, who stands at 7'3, and Wombanyama is so big that he can actually walk over rows of chairs like it ain't no thing. But here's where things get absurd. There's an 8-inch height difference between him and Big Naija. 8 full inches. If you want some comparisons, that is literally the difference between Chris Paul and LeBron James, and we all know LeBron makes CP3 look like an elementary school kid. If this dude somehow gets into NBA shape and enters the league, he'd be making players like Rudy Gobert and Chris Stapps Porzingis look undersized. I think that deserves a sheesh. And with that being said, let's get to know more about this monster that could potentially destroy the National Basketball Association. Now, just as rare as a Bigfoot sighting, the origins and upbringing of this kid remains almost a pure mystery, and adding to that, some information about his life is still up for dispute due to the fact that there's little data gathered on him. I mean, sources online don't even know when his actual birthday is, and they only assume that he was born somewhere between 2001 and 2004, which makes him around 19 to 21 years old currently. And apart from that, the only thing most people know about him is that he was born and raised in Nigeria, where his father was a military man. Plus the other fact that he wears a size 53 shoe. Let that fact sink in for just a second. Size 53 shoes. Man, I remember that image of Shaq shoes and Iverson holding them. I believe it was like a size 22 or something, and at that time I thought shoes couldn't get any bigger. But my goodness guys, size 53 shoes? I honestly can't even fathom how big those shoes would be. It sounds like something Thanos would wear. But anyway, some news outlets like The Guardian managed to get a hold of a story about his humble beginnings, and according to this article, Big Niger had a tough childhood as he would always get embarrassed and bullied because he looked like a circus freak in the eyes of most kids. In addition, the article also talked about his living conditions at the time, and I quote, Abiodun Adiyoki was in SS2 when he stopped schooling and stayed indoors most of the time. He became physically bent over as a result of crouching indoors to prevent his head from being chopped off by the blades of the ceiling fan in their rented modest room and parlor accommodation that he shared with his siblings and very worried parents. The Guardian writer actually reached out to the kid to offer some help, and eventually, Big Niger agreed to relocate to Saguno Degbame International Sports Academy where he would accept a full scholarship to play basketball. On campus, he was like a celebrity, and often times it's been said that he wanted to emulate what Hakeem Olajuwon did and become a champion in the NBA. Anyway, despite his gigantic figure, he wasn't really noticed in the basketball community, and the truth is, no one really knew about Big Niger until Shaq discovered him on Instagram and reposted a video of him doing tiptoe dunks amongst grown men, which ultimately went viral. Now, Big Niger was eventually recruited to Dubai where he played at MPAC's Elite Youth League, and after Shaq's shared video, major sports sites started featuring the Nigerian big man, and now he's become quite a celebrity with more than 100,000 followers on his IG account. So, upon doing some research of Big Niger, I found out that he's so enormously big that he can simply grip a basketball like this. Sheesh guys, after following the basketball community for about two decades, I honestly thought I've seen it all, but believe me when I tell you that I've never seen anyone grip a full sized basketball with just two fingers. And considering how ginormous this dude is, there's actually a real chance that he could play in the NBA, cause as you saw in the clips earlier, he can literally dunk without jumping, which again, I've never actually seen before. I mean, even on 2K, I don't think it's possible. If this dude gets into the NBA, teams can simply dump the ball to him down low, which will result in a sure two points every time, because he literally just has to put his hands up to dunk. It'd be literally impossible to guard him, and perhaps would be even deadlier with Kareem's skyhook. Now, with that in mind, it's easier said than done for Aoki when it comes to finding a spot in the NBA, because at that 7 foot 11 size, we all know that there's a high chance of getting injured, plus the fact that he hasn't experienced real high level competition, like going up against players in some of the top tier leagues in the world. And based on some highlight clips that I've seen him play, although Big Naja is really unstoppable when he's underneath the rim, he's not quite up to par in other areas of basketball. He really needs to work hard in developing other parts of his game, because he'll surely be eaten alive in the big leagues if he continues to be a one trick pony. Now, the first thing he needs to do is just find a way to stay healthy. The reason why we don't see a lot of highlights of him online these days is because he's usually injured and missing in action. I'm hoping these injuries are something like what happened to Joel Embiid, and that Aoki would eventually be able to play freely, because it'd be a travesty if we don't at least get to see what this titan could do. Next off, he needs to improve his cardio. I notice that he gets easily outrun by other players in the fast break, and tends to be really slow in getting up and down the court. With the pace that basketball is being played at these days, Big Naja will have some trouble if he doesn't get this fixed. Then, apart from his conditioning, he'll also need to put in some work with his fundamentals, because like I said earlier, besides slamming the ball into the rim, it appears he really doesn't have anything else in his offensive bag. His shot mechanics look like they could use some work as well. But anyway, if he can just remain healthy and get into peak shape, all he really needs to do is run and dunk, run and dunk, run and dunk. Which, funny enough, is the same thing James Harden said of Giannis. Anyway, though this is the case, Big Naja has actually been showing some clips on his IG account that he's doing some training and shooting drills. Man, imagine he gets healthy and just improves his physical conditioning. At 7 foot 11, he'd easily be at least 300 pounds, and if he adds even a tiny bit of explosiveness to his game, he'd literally be Shaquille O'Neal 2.0. I mean, with that size and the ability to dunk while standing, plus just a bit of athleticism, he'd have a chance to really do something special that we've never seen before. In the meantime, what he has to do right now is to get himself exposed out there or create some buzz around so that he'll be noticed by some basketball scouts, and once that happens, if he can have one good year, just one good year in a basketball league such as the NBL in Australia or the G League, for example, that would definitely put him on practically every NBA team's radar. And then from there, there'll be a problem that NBA players will need to solve.
