LaMelo Ball’s New High School Teammate Is Viral Romanian Teen Robert Bobroczkyi

The one thing at Spire Institute, that can perhaps rival the magnitude of LaMelo Ball's personality and recent addition is the size of his new teammate, Robert Bobroczkyi.

(Note: Bobroczkyi is the proper spelling of his name; Bobroczky is the Americanized form of his name. For accuracy, we're using the former.)

At 17 years old, Bobroczkyi, who's Romanian, currently stands 7'7", the same height that the tallest recorded players in NBA history, Manute Bol and Gheorghe Mursean, once played at.

Bobroczkyi's father, Zsiga, who's 7'1", played professional basketball in Romania, and his mother is 6'0".
