There's a video at the link, too. I'm on my phone and can't post it.

Robert Bobroczky is only 13 years old, but he is reportedly the tallest teenager in Europe. Perhaps more notably, he's taller than most professional basketball players.

According to news.com.au's Cameron Tomarchio, the teenager is 7'4", which would make him the tallest player in the NBA. At 7'3", Hasheem Thabeet of the Oklahoma City Thunder currently claims that title.

Definitely looks unhealthy, i.e. marfan syndrome like, only exaggerated by the usual growing into their bodies a lot of kids that age go through as it is. Surely it's not healthy for him to be playing sport.

Reminds me of Andre the Giant.

Well damn.

I've been 5'6" since I was 14.

He has very poor coordination.

Should be ready to step in as Jo retires.

The kid is 13 and over 7ft. He's going to be skinny and awkward. :roll:

Draft him for the jumpball.

Dude can barely run and is skinnier than a stick. I wouldn't exactly call him a prospect.

Yeah but Bob Bob is a great nickname.

Exact same height as Robert Wadlow at age 13. Same first name even.

He has a pretty long neck, I bet his standing reach is only that of a 6'10" player.

All I know is with a name like that I'm a fan.

If he's serious about making Basketball his career then he should start taking care of his body. I wanna see another giant make an impact in the NBA. Sadly the last one gave it his all and was plagued with injuries. And his teammate too.

My god this kid got nothing but bones.

There is no way he is sniffing anywhere near NBA. He looks like if someone like Cousins breath on him and he will be falling down - on the other side of the court.

My thoughts exactly. Hope the family doesn't try to cash in on his height and make him try something he isn't fit to do.

Someone in the comment section of that video said he has the same disease as Robert Wadlow. Yeah, not good.

Legs look like toothpicks.
