American Basketball player, who played for Utah Jazz. He once said "You want an exact height...barefoot it's about 7-3 and 3/4's...[Ralph Sampson] is in the neighborhood of 7-1"

Yeah Canson, off-court it’s probably no picnic...especially on public transport, driving, finding clothes, beds, furniture...basic living arrangements...Wadlow-esque up to a point...

Rob,
How long do you think his head was?
Editor Rob
could be a good 11 inches range

RIP to the great Mark Eaton. Near 7’4” at his peak
Canson said on 14/Jul/21
@Chaos and Rampage: maybe I’d try for a day or two but that’s about all lol. Thank God I wouldn’t have to stay at that permanently

7ft3¾....God, I'd love to test-drive that baby for the day
Yeah I can imagine being 220cm+ would be pretty fun. I’d try it for a week over a day though, it would let you get a bit more used to moving around and living at that size (surely if you’re that tall you’ve gotta weigh at least 280 pounds right)

Arch why don’t you prove Neil had longer legs than Mark then?
Arch Stanton said on 25/Jun/21
If Fingleton only had a 42 inseam do you still think Eaton was 44-45? I would have guessed 44-45 for Fingleton and around 42 for Mark.
Arch Stanton said on 24/Jun/21
Actually Neil Fingleton's inseam was "only" 42, and he was 7'7 range!
Arch Stanton said on 23/Jun/21
It is true Viper, but then two of them were both 93. Nobody under 80 died. I don't think it helped, put it that way... Didn't Neil Fingleton say he had a 44 inch inseam? At 7 ft 7 and half? That's what I was thinking of in relation to.
viper said on 20/Jun/21
Yeah I would guess 44 or so
viper said on 20/Jun/21
"three older people in my distant family have died weeks/months after having it now..."
Point still stands. If that were true they would be airing the sirens big time
ChaosControl 6'2.50 said on 20/Jun/21
I wonder what inseam Mark wore, at least 40 I'd have thought.
Oh it would be way more ham that. This site’s very own Rampage is nearly a foot shorter than Mark Eaton and has a 39 I think. Mark’s was easily 45”
Arch Stanton said on 18/Jun/21
Not necessarily, a small minority of people have had blood clots on the heart and brain to the point they stopped administering the AZ one in most European counties. Obviously it's only a small percentage affected though as it's 1 billion odd people vaccinated now.

LOL, there would be a national emergency If what Arch said was true.
Goodness

Very sad indeed to hear that he died. He was one of the most normal looking out of the legit giants, looked a nice guy too. As normal as you could possibly get for near 7 ft 4!! NBA site says "apparent" accident, don't seem convinced. No vehicle involved in the incident, it was on a bicycle not a motorbike.. You don't die from falling off a bicycle unless you're going 50 mph downhill!! Hope it wasn't a heart attack/related to the vaccine, three older people in my distant family have died weeks/months after having it now...
Don’t bring vaccine stuff into this, it’s not proven to cause any ill effects
viper said on 14/Jun/21
Uhhh Arch, they didn't die from the vaccine lol

@Viper: good observation
Canson said on 2/Jun/21
@Viper: he lived to be 64 and died and a motorcycle accident. It wasn’t something like a heart attack or stroke
viper said on 1/Jun/21
No, it sounds like he may have had a heart attack and fell off the bike
He was found unconscious
mark thompson said on 1/Jun/21
@viper he died in a bike crash, life expectancy at his size had nothing to do with how he died with all due respect.
viper said on 31/May/21
Sadly, life expectancy isn't going to be long at his size

i think that the 7ft3 3/4 figure that he measured in his peak was a morning figure .here is an old shrunken mark eaton with a 7 foot rudy gobert
Click Here looks max 2 inches taller making him around 7ft2 at best today.and i doubt that he shrunk as much as 2 inches already. 7ft3 peak, 7ft2 today.
Arch Stanton said on 6/Sep/20

The guy on the left is 6 ft 4!!!!
Arch Stanton said on 6/Sep/20
Now this is what you call a legit (natural) super giant. Doesn't look freakish in proportions or ill. I see Rob has 210cm as the cut off point for the Tallest Men category which I agree with.
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 6/Apr/20
Will Foster is listed 7'5 and described it every place but had a feeling he doesn't look much taller than a peak 7'3 3/4 Mark Eaton.
emre celep said on 21/Dec/19
today 221 cm
Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 13/Jun/19
Rule him out to be 7'3.25" now.

Not anything above 222cm now.
Mickie said on 29/Jul/18
7-3.75 in his playing days. Could be 7-3 flat today.
Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 3/Jul/18
He still claiming 7'4 on IG. i bet he already came down 7'3 3/8.
VicLions said on 21/Jun/18
Hey Rob, will Bill Russell get his own page, he was sometimes under billed at 6ft9 but he appears the exact same height as Tim Duncan. I feel he might be 6ft9.75.
Bobby G said on 9/Jun/18
Looks to be about 3 inches shorter than 7-6ish Bradley here
Click Here although Bradley may have the advantage with camera positioning. I would say he is closer to 7-3 these days (he is 61) could have definitely been closer to 7-4 in his playing days though, definitely a massive individual.
VicLions said on 6/May/18
I do think he is the legit 7ft3 3/4 he claims to be.
Kevin C said on 13/Apr/18
Yes he is close to 7-4. Big man and he looks proportional.
Canson said on 15/Mar/18

Click Here Rudy Gobert is 213 cm
he is not 10 cm taller than him.
He just can't be that tall.
VicLions said on 19/Nov/17
Yup Eaton is honest about his 7ft3.75 height. Look at how he towers over Karl Malone, and Hakeem Olajuwon.
Canson said on 25/Oct/17
@Junior: don’t forget Gheorge Muresan and Sun Both

Mark Eaton must be on the list of one out of 100 tallest american men out there beside Shawn Bradley.

Arch Stanton said on 15/Sep/17
Exactly a foot taller than peak Clint Eastwood and John Wayne LOL!!! It's really a crazy barefoot height!
Arch Stanton said on 15/Sep/17
Nice one. Him and Shawn seem quite angry with Yao and Ralph being listed at their heights. This looks legit with Bill Walton. Extremely rare for a man to naturally be this tall and healthy with a strong build. He looks the most normal guy of this size I've ever seen.
