who was the tallest player ever in the nba
Some were lucky to play in the NBA just because of their height while others completed a very respectful and outstanding career in the NBA. The tallest to be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame is 7 feet, 6 inch Yao Ming. In addition to Yao, both Ralph Sampson and Arvydas Sabonis were the only other players to join him in the Hall of Fame. In the seventh round of the 1981 NBA Draft, the Golden State Warriors used the 171st pick to select Yasutaka Okayama, a Japanese basketball player who was measured at 7 feet 8 inches (2.34 m) and 330 pounds (150 kg).
