So, I’ve been on this little mission, right? I wanted to figure out who are the heaviest dudes in the NBA right now. It’s just something that popped into my head, and I got curious. I started by just looking around the internet. I was just typing in stuff like “heaviest NBA players” and seeing what came up. It was kinda interesting, to be honest.

First thing I did was make a list of all the names that were showing up. It seemed like a bunch of websites were talking about the same couple of guys, so I started there. I wrote down their names, how much they weighed, and their ages. Just some basic stuff to get me going.
Boban Marjanović kept coming up, this Serbian player. He’s listed at 290 pounds. Then there was this guy, Tacko Fall, who’s even heavier, 311 pounds. Man, these guys are huge! I also found this other name, Jusuf Nurkić, also at 290 pounds. It’s crazy to think about how big these players are. There was a mention of Oliver Miller, who apparently used to be the heaviest ever, at 380 pounds. That’s wild!
But I wanted to see more, so I started looking into individual players. I found out that Isaiah Stewart II, a player for the Detroit Pistons, weighs in at 250 pounds. He’s not as heavy as the others, but still, that’s a lot of weight for someone who’s 6’8″. I also noticed some new names for the upcoming season, like Victor Wembanyama and Zach Edey. It’s interesting to see how the league is always changing, with new players coming in.
What I found out:
- Current Heaviest: Tacko Fall is the heaviest at 311 pounds, with Boban Marjanović and Jusuf Nurkić both at 290 pounds.
- Past Heaviest: Oliver Miller held the record at 380 pounds.
- Others: Isaiah Stewart II is also pretty heavy at 250 pounds.
- New Faces: Guys like Victor Wembanyama and Zach Edey are joining the league.
It was a fun little project, to be honest. I didn’t really have a goal in mind, but it was cool to learn about these players and how much they weigh. It’s just one of those things that makes you appreciate how diverse the NBA is, with players of all shapes and sizes.
So yeah, that’s my little story about figuring out the heaviest players in the NBA. It was just something I did for fun, but I thought I’d share it anyway. Hope you found it somewhat interesting!
