Chol Marial, a 7’3” middle school basketball player, towers over his competition in a rather hilarious and ridiculous manner.
By Robby Sabo
Those who play basketball, pray to the heavens that god will force a magical growth spurt upon their bodies in a way that’ll allow dreams of one day playing in the NBA a realistic scenario.
Others, however, might actually pray to slow down a growth spurt.
One of these youngsters is Chol Marial.
14-year old Marial comes from South Sudan, and love basketball. It’s a good thing he enjoys it because he stands a ridiculous 7’3” with a 7’11” wing-span, via P2bball.com.
Eighth-grade? I was freaking stretching 4’10” in those days.
Currently in eighth-grade, Marial plays on the West Oaks High School’s varsity squad.
Not only does he tower over everybody, he can actually handle the ball with ease, playing like a wing out there.
Somebody (or more appropriately every Division 1 scout in the nation), at this very moment, has their scouting antennas raised high.
