While most of the other Harlem Globetrotters players are known for their superior dribbling skills and impressive leaping abilities, Tiny Sturgess is best known for his incredible height, as he is the tallest Globetrotter member ever.

And while I’m not quite sure how the rest of Tiny’s game measures up against NBA standards, I am quite certain that the following video is all NBA scouts need to see in order to be impressed by this giant’s abilities in the paint.
