Athletes That Redefine The Word Big

People who do professional athletics push the boundaries of average human capability. The sporting world is full of people who excel in what they do, whether it be strength, speed, or skillful execution.

Professional athletes are known for exceeding expectations when it comes to size. The term “biggest,” though, is not usually used to describe athletes who precisely fit the criterion. The phrase is typically used in a relative sense, as our list of the biggest athletes well demonstrates.

Andre, The Giant 

Andre was one of the most significant athletes in the peak wrestling generation. He had been very inspirational.

He built his way up from rags to riches. He was a big man, nearly 7 feet tall and 500 pounds, he also had been that in a metaphorical sense with a giant personality.

Choi Hong-Man

In athletics, size is relative to the sport. Choi Hong-Man is small compared to Andre but in his field, he is a giant.

In the professional kick-boxing universe, he stands head and shoulder above the rest at a whopping 7.2″ feet. This benefits his reach and superhuman strength.

Yao Ming 

In comparison Yoa Ming makes the rest seem short, standing 7-foot, 6-inches tall. His impact on the NBA after leaving China had been tremendous.

Even after an injury that ended his career early, he would always be an NBA icon. The nine seasons he played left a significant impact on the sport.

Margo Dydek 

Another superhuman basketball player, Margo Dydek not just towers over her fellow players but also most men. She’s 7.2″ feet.

She was considered to be a giant in the WNBA and had received prizes in 1998 and was a two-time all-star. She was known for her great size, but she had not been the only one.
