Claim: Mu Tiezhu, a former member of Bayi Basketball Team, has a condition called 'acromegaly' (a disorder that results from excess growth hormone).
Evidence: He was often compared with Sun Mingming, because both of them have acromegaly, and could slam dunk without their feet leaving the ground. Acromegaly is a disorder that results from excess growth hormone (GH) after the growth plates have closed. As a member of Bayi Basketball Team, Mu still held the highest score of 81 points in a game, and beat the 1978 NBA champion Washington Bullets twice in April, 1979.
