These Colossal Athletes Are Giants in Their Games!
Jorge Gonzalez – 7’7″
Jorge Gonzalez’s path to fame wasn’t your typical athlete’s journey. At a towering 7-foot-7 and a heavyweight 403 pounds, Gonzalez was a natural for basketball, becoming Argentina’s tallest player ever. Drafted by the Atlanta Hawks in 1988, a knee injury sidelined his NBA dreams.
However, Jorge’s incredible size landed him a giant leap into a different kind of spotlight: professional wrestling. Known as “El Gigante” or “Giant Gonzales,” he battled giants of the ring in the WCW and WWF, captivating audiences with his immense presence. In 1993, he took a surprising turn, appearing in a music video alongside Michael Jackson.
