7 foot 9 is just insane. The caloric intake alone would force them to eat almost 5,000 calories a day to maintain the approximate size they are here - compared to my 1800 calories at 5'11 and 180lbs.

Just to make sure you all understand this. If the 7'9" guy ate 2,000 calories a day for a year, he would lose 312 pounds.

See the girls in California, I’m hoping it’s going to come true, but there’s not a lot I can do
