How is this genetically possible? Is there anything you could do to produce a kid of this size when youre only 6'0 ?

Most Africans are manlets. North Europeans are the tallest in the world on average. Surely, you mean eugenics. Slave owners bred these guys to be big.

I saw freshman Shaq play against AZ in the early 90s, he was bigger than that. Patrick Ewing was probably bigger than that when he was at Gerogetown too. Georgetown is a crappy university in a nice neighborhood, thats the only reason its an expensive school is that its in a high rent district. AZ has much better optics and astronomy departments, extremely solid research university.

genetics for height and then you just eat and workout a shitton while growing up, it isnt difficult. i was 6'3 250lbs at 13/14 and there were a few other lineman i played against my size during football kek. played three teams that had 3-5 people my size on their line and shit sucked as everyone else on my was normal or undersized

also to get a large kid you could try to find a girl with tall parents. my dad is only 5'10 or 5'11 and i turned out 6'4. my grandpa on moms side is 6'4 or 6'5 and i think i got most of my height from him, grandma was a midget though so not sure if that matters as much

I don't understand the line of reasoning from people who with one side of their mouth say "Slave owners bred these guys to be big" and then out of the other side of their mouth say "Eugenics doesn't work" or "Race isn't biological". It seems fairly obvious that one implies the other, but while the first position is generally accepted as common knowledge, the second is controversial enough that it will get you thrown out of graduate school if your research lab has significant findings in that direction.

Yeah, malnourished people are smaller. Give them proper food and suddenly their height skyrockets. See: Europe the last 10 centuries

See immigrants in the US and compare to their home country. Any immigrant kids who are either born in US or raised in US are huge compared to ones in their home country. Nutrition is a huge part of height.

You could have just ask about 6'6. Sure he's going to be heavy at that height and the age is where he'd be about as big as he gets. What's the point of those 3 bullet points?

people aren't 7 feet tall because it's not optimal for humans. but people with extreme proportions are perfect for international/national level sports so you see them a lot there.
between 190cm and 160cm (probably lower than 160) is the optimal height, anything above or bellow comes with trade offs.
