21 seasons in the NBA are not something people can usually take. Kevin Garnett, however, is anything but usual. Towering the height of 6’11″, Garnett’s career is over two decades long, which shouldn’t be taken lightly.
Garnett quit basketball in 2016. Since then, he has been serving as a consultant for the Los Angeles Clippers and performing on TV, among other things.
John Scott – 6’8″, 270 lbs
John Scott's size is only one of the things that helped him in his career as a professional hockey player. Those who are interested in knowing the other factors are welcome to read his autobiography, A Guy Like Me: Fighting to Make the Cut.
Scott is not all muscle. His brain is no less of an asset than his physique, and he has the mechanical engineering degree to prove it.
CC Sabathia – 6’7″, 290 lbs
As far as extraordinary left-handed pitchers go, CC Sabathia takes the cake. And then there’s the fact that he’s 6’7 and 290lbs, so yeah, he’s also one of the largest MLB athletes.
Sabathia's baseball career started as a high school student. He was courted by many colleges who wanted him to play for their teams. He was first drafted by the Cleveland Indians in 1998, and his latest team was the New York Yankees.
Pau Gasol – 7’, 245 lbs
We’re betting that Pau Gasol will make history when he’s finally entered into the Hall of Fame. It’s as sure as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. The 7′ six-time NBA All-Star is a beast on the court.
As the son of two healthcare workers (a doctor and a nurse administrator), Gasol was first interested in pursuing a medical career, and he is still interested in medicine. His other interests include music and foreign languages. We thought that kind if people stopped existing after the Renaissance, but we're happy to see they aren't extinct.
Paul Soliai – 6’4″, 345 lbs
Paul Soliai has the ideal body for a professional football player, and his potential as a pro has been evident since his high school years. This Samoan tank of a man is 6’4″ tall and 345 lbs heavy, which would make any opposing player think twice before trying to tackle him.
Soliai's latest game was played for the Carolina Panthers in 2017. But technically speaking, he officially retired in 2018 after signing a one day contract with the Miami Dolphins so he could retire as a true Dolphin.
