Carolina's Biggest Failure

[BD80]

OK, by biggest, I mean tallest. But the boards are slow, who can begrudge a mite of sensationalism?

7' 7" Neil Fingleton - the tallest man in England - is leaving his failed basketball career behind and is taking a shot at acting. He is even in "X-Men: First Class" (as "Russian General's Bodyguard 1"). It would be amusing to see him in a scene with 5' 5" Ken Jeong.

The article states he had relationship with a young lady who was 5' 1" (91" v 61" ). Fingleton's inseam is 54".

"The Round Mound of Let-Down"
We shouldn't joke about this guy. He suffered one of the most grusome injuries I've ever witnessed. It was heart wrenching to watch him blow his knee out reaching backwards for the jelly donut some thoughtless fan threw on the court.:)

In the interest of accuracy, I thought it was a box of chicken nuggets:D.

Nah, the donuts were the knee, the nuggets caused the shoulder injury.
