10 HEAVIEST Players In NBA History 

It's always amazing that Shaq could play that well in LA at that weight. Of course, if I saw that dude coming at me at that weight, I would just get the hell outta the way.

“Robert Traylor was a McDonald’s All-American.” You got that right. 👍🏼

We all thought of Zion while clicking on this video

Shaq is just an outrageous human...athletically and from a commentary perspective. 🤣

I met Kevin Duckworth about a year before he passed in a small town near Portland. He was huge! But a very nice, good mannered, good humored fellow. It was a a pleasure to talk with him.

There is no way Shaq was almost 400 pounds in the last Lakers title!!!! I can believe maybe 340-350.....

That’s the way this stuff goes. As players get beyond 7 foot tall the weight range they can be while still maintaining the necessary mobility in todays NBA without being to slight of frame to be pushed around. Not to mention all the wear and tear on their body. Right now Porzingis seems to be right at the line of what is doable with size without the weight causing major issues against specific players.

There was a Cat named John Williams who went to school @ LSU. He was from Los Angeles and he also had the moniker "Hot Rod". Real talented guy, so skilled and athletic for a guy 6"9. Unfortunately, "Hot Rod" became "Hot Plate" and basically ate himself out of the NBA. Sweetney was a really good player for Georgetwon, it's a shame.

Zion’s on his way to break the record

Shaq was just heavy he was wasn't fat especially in his prime 💪

Keep up the great work!!

One of the best channel in the game!

Not only was Shaq's frame was built for his weight but he was muscular 💯💯💯💯💯

I think you should have done a BMI comparison instead of purely weight. A taller player is obviously likely going to heavier, but not necessarily "fatter".

Zion: hold my cheeseburger

Miller played A LONG TIME, no matter how much he weighed. And he balled out overseas.

"McDonald's All-American" killed me XD

Dope video 🏀🏀🏀🏀

Glen "Big Baby" Davis should be on the list

I once interviewed Yao Ming after an NBA playoff game. He was in the visitors locker room, sitting on a folding chair that looked like a twig with this giant on top of it. His feet were in a small pool filled with ice. His feet took over the whole pool. Ming was enormous. Never seen anyone like him in person. The Chinese media followed him everywhere too

Miller was hilarious on the Suns. They called him "Two Chickens" when he was a Sun... because he'd eat two whole chickens before each game.

"Priest Lauderdale" sounds like an A Day to Remember song, to me hahaha

Apparently, NBA scouts did not watch the finals of the 2001 Illinois State basketball tournament, in which an undersized Schaumburg team with no player over 6'4" beat Curry's Thornton Fractional South team. The smaller team ran circles around Curry and his teammates. It was a harbinger of things to come.

I was hooping once and had a near 300 pounder fall on my arm while it was pinned 45 degrees against the ground elbow up. It did not break luckily and it’s best to just get out the way.

I don't remember Thomas Hamilton and I was an avid NBA follower back then he must have had a cup of coffee with the Celtics he sure flew under my radar.

If Shaq had managed his weight better with a proper diet he could’ve potentially been the GOAT. Clearly he was still dominating with all that excess weight on the Lakers, yes. But he just kept pushing the envelope and it ruined his joints and by extension the longevity of what his career could’ve been. He could’ve dominated alongside Wade and won 2 or 3 more Championships in Miami if he took better care of himself. For those who don’t know… look at how he played and could move in Orlando when he was a rookie and playing at an ideal weight… his coordination, balance and speed for a man of his size was truly on another level. If he trained the way Giannis trains and optimized lean muscle mass over just accumulating mass in general (muscle & fat)… man… people just have no idea…. He could’ve been the gold standard of athletic potential over LeBron James in my opinion.

You should do slowest nba players

Oliver Miller was a great role player the year the Suns went to the finals. He was a nice shotblocker, could move nicely for an overweighted player. He wasn't like Pat Ewing, Hakeem or David Robinson but was a really decent player. And then he got fat... It's sad cause he a had a nice potential, I think he could have been around 10-15pts, around 7-8 rebounds per game and mostly 2-3 blocks per game but I guess he liked to eat most than the game.

“Makes Shaw look small” Shows Shaq looking absolutely even next to the Great Wall.

Oliver Miller 😂 I remember him as a suns player, good times

Hamilton started at 400 lbs with the Celts and worked and played his way down to 360 that part year he was there

Zion: "My time has come"

Banger vids 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌💪💪💪💪

Yao could play. Some of these dudes were just blubber. I remember when the Celtics rolled out Thomas Hamilton against Shaq and Shaq posted him up and looked small - it was funny.

Big O had some serious handles..not just love handles!

That pic of Chuck with the pizza tho. Had a slice before he brought it in the house.

I had a feeling my cousin Priest would make this list.

I thought Tree Rollins was going to be on the list. I remember that guy was always eating. I remember when he tried to eat Danny Ainge, starting with Danny's finger.

Another Vid Suggestion: *TOP 10 STRONGEST PLAYERS IN NBA HISTORY*

I'm surprised Stanley Roberts didn't make the list.

Shaq is like the NBA version of Commercial James Harrison It’s Fricking Hilarious

Giannis Body is just insane. Hes a modern greek god. All Respect for the effort it took to take his body to this point.

Portland had a huge Korean player who could make this list. Late career Lonnie Shelton was also huge.

Wiseman always said: "Lads Lads Lads Good ol' Eddy. Good ol' Eddy Curry"

Who was that center on the Suns around 2010 - 2012 who barely played. Dude was HUGE.

I went to University of Arkansas when Oliver Miller was there. I saw him at Taco Bell one night. No lie. I have no idea how he afforded that many tacos as a college student.

Oliver Miller should be a 1st ballot HOF. Raptors icon

George Foreman in sneakers is what these guys remind me of.

Hi from Bulgaria. I remember Priest playing in the Bulgarian league for Lukoil Academic some 20 years ago, that team was unbeatable back then, locally of course, they were good but still weaker than top quality european teams. Lauderdale's was huge and dwarfed every other player I've seen him play with and against. Couldn't run, couldn't jump (didn't need to), still, he was scoring a decent amount of points. I suppose if he was a better player, he'd been playing in a better league or a team. They gave him a bulgatian citizenahip, but I don't think he ever played for the national team.

I've just always been fascinated by dudes with big physiques. I always feel bad for dudes who gain too much and can't cut. It's not as easy as it sounds to lose weight, especially depending on your body chemistry. I was very underweight as a kid, and then when I got put on Estrogen for an endocrine disorder, I felt better, but I bulked up to 250 pounds at 5'9", took years to get myself down to about 215Ibs. where I am now. a lot of it had to do with taking care of mental health, exercising more, and diversifying my diet. That being said, I'm obviously not an athlete, so it amazes me when I see guys bulk up, or lose weight in a relatively short amount of time.

"Priest Launderdale sounds like the name of a pastor of a local church. But it's not"

"Exceed the 300 pound mark" Shows Zion on the couch! 🤣

What about Big Country Bryant Reeves?? He was pretty heavy from what I can remember.

You guys deserve for subs

Oliver Miller was struggling with his weight when he came up with Phoenix at the age of 22... Dude couldn't control himself.

Diesel was a real monster under the basket.

Stanley Roberts cleared 300 pounds when he was with the Clippers in the mid 1990's. Should be on the list

Shaq is one of the most impressive freak of nature

This is amazing you are using shortcuts from polish television TVP2

Robert Traylor wasnt only a McDonalds All-American, he was also at all American McDonalds

Ngl I was pretty fat

Oliver Miller was a skilled player and king of the outlet pass and blocked shots like a cat.

Shaq clearly weighed more on the cavs and Celtics than he did on the Lakers

I think you were exaggerating a bit on Shaqs weight. We know he was well over 300 lbs but never got to 375 lbs as a player. 330-340 at most. At his size, that’s still not totally unreasonable. After his retirement, perhaps he got heavier but no way he played at 375 lbs. No team would have allowed him to get that heavy, he would have been a heart attack just waiting to happen.

2:10 it's not because of his frame, it's because of tractor trailers and his last name and his frame. it's not just that he was big, but that his last name was traylor so tractor traylor/trailer was a fitting nickname lol

Surprised Big Baby Davis wasn’t on the list

Barkley used to say that the only way Big O could dunk is if you put a quarter pounder on the rim.

Rumor has it Marcus Fizer hit four spins after he took his career overseas.

Amazing, Shaq built as muscular and power at his weight.

Was wondering if Oliver Miller was on this list. A great passer from the 5 position.

3:19 was that a Bahston accent there? Or am I just hearing it because I want it to be a Bahston accent?!

What about Brian Reeves, Glen Davis, Derek Coleman, and even Rick Mahorn?

Eddie Curry had that heart issue, otherwise he would not have had that issue.

Considering what this list is, suddenly McDonald’s All American takes on a different meaning.

Charles Barkley called Oliver Miller a UFO..Unidentified Fat Object 🤣😂

Sweetney's only drug was SWEETS. What a great line

could you do a what happends when you win a nba championship

SHAQ is full metric ton now!😂😂

For Sweetney, sometimes NBA players who plays oversees, tend to not perform well. But when he came to Uruguay, he was so beloved and you knew by watching he was a super intelligent player.

The fact the word heaviest is in cap is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

Man and I thought I was pretty big trying to play basketball at 270 something

So it means that Yao Ming real height is probably 7'5" without shoes because Tacko is 7'6" without shoes on.

Shaq ja biologicsl monster. Heaviest yet so good

Cool

Oliver Miller was basically an NFL lineman playin center lol

What about Dinner Bell Mel Turpin?

Didn't even pay respects to Robert Traylor's passing, smh

On Shaquille O'Neal's best day he's not even a third as fast as giannis. Ego gone mad.

ooh...no big baby davis. i'm surprised. that guy hit the floor in a game and I swear that I felt it at home

Some basketball players end up playing football... this video kinda looks like some football players went and ended up playing NBA basketball

Oliver Miller was a helluva basketball player but couldn`t keep his weight down

8:35 that's just menace

i don't know how it's possible to be overweight as an NBA player considering how much sprinting and jumping they do

NBA 2k needs to give us an Oliver Miller card this year on MyTeam.

2 sandwiches because one wasn't enough is crazy 😂

The fact that we started the list at 310 lol

"he was a McDonalds all american"🤣 yep, clearly.

This is Shaq's biggest talent: despite his weight, he can move so fast while suffering below-average amount of injury for a NBA big man. When Yao, who is very very talented in his own way, puts on enough weight to become almost an equal match-up against Shaq, he quickly suffers injuries that cut his career much shorter. The other guys on this list wouldn't even have enough mobility for a competitive NBA career.

Was that Zion I saw ? Sheesh he eating

Mark Eaton, Darrell Dawkins, Jeff Ruland, Bob lainer were all giant guys
