Basketball hadn't been invented yet. they were around in the mid 1800s. Their height was also about a foot shorter than what that poster says.

Yea I know that's why I'm asking who are they. Are they just tall civil war soldiers or peach basket players.

This is from an article I found online
The four Shields brothers, of White Rock, Texas, were billed as being between 7 feet 8 inches and 8 feet 0 inches tall, but in reality none of them exceeded 7 feet 0 inches. They were between 6 feet 8 inches and 6 feet 11 inches when they joined a Barnum & Bailey sideshow around 1880. They were also known as The Texas Giants.
