Why The TALLEST High School Basketball Player Is Still TOO SMALL For The NBA

yeah absolutely my main goal right now is to to get to college to division one school hopefully i would love to you know get opportunity to be in the position where i'm that good that i can actually join the league they are your average nba players then there's tall and then tall and then there's him yes seven foot eight robert burbowski is 20 years old now he was the tallest high school basketball player he was too small for the nba and now he's in college so what's up with him what is up dudes so that's ballers players it's your boy mj if you've been on my channel for a while you've heard of the stick man but if not here's what you've missed robert burbowski is from romania and when he was 12 he looked like this he was 7-1 man's sorry boy was taller than 99 percent of human race at 12. he went viral off these clips of him playing at cellozura in italy at the age of 15. and as you can see he looked awkward af he still showed some talent making some mid-ranges making some jump shots some hooks and then he grew to seven foot seven and went to spire institute in order to get world-class facilities it cost fifty five 000 a year to go there but he was on a scholarship this is also where lamela would play a senior year and so yeah these two would be teammates but never actually played together see robert was only 180 pounds yeah stick man even after a year of training eating a 5 000 calorie diet he only went to 190 pounds it's something but that makes him a stick again he was also working on his three-point shot heavy your comments in that video were wildin bruh all right hit the subscribe button if you want to get taller streaming tonight one hot day go now since then robert hasn't played because of a back surgery so he missed his senior year i haven't been able to find a details of his back surgery why he had to do it an actual timetable for return but i'm assuming it was to fix his scoliosis which is an irregular curve in the spine so it may have been a back fusion surgery using screws and rods after the surgery he actually got taller after the surgery to seven foot eight rob a cheat code okay maybe not now he's signed to rochester university which is part of the national association for intercollegiate athletics so basically he ain't even in the ncaa at least he got the offer which is huge because he wasn't getting recruited back then and now he's in college this lets rob at least continue to develop and continue his dreams to be in the nba because he really needs that time but this is a long shot and i'm opposed to long shots take for example porzingis when he came into the league he was 240 pounds and considered way too skinny robert's last known weight is supposedly 225 pounds there's inconsistencies between 220 and 225 pounds that's what it was a year and a half ago and we just haven't got any updates on the weight so let's just say he's 225 and he put on mostly muscle and that puts him at a body mass index of 18.7 porzingis in his rookie season had a bmi of 22.3 now usually athletes have lower bmis because they don't really have fat but they're purely muscle but even then too low is not good taco fall in his freshman year of college was 280 pounds which is a bmi of 24.3 if you project and say that raw bob's gotten to even 260 pounds he's still at 20.8 which is extremely low part of the whole being tall thing is also having the right amount of weight to be able to stay on the court and not get pushed around too much and your knees can't take it we've seen it with big men before too little and you don't have a good center of gravity and so pretty much everyone is pushing you off your spot if you're slow and you're light that just ain't cutting it imagine zion giannis heck even damien lillard would be enough to move rob and break him and i haven't even gotten to rob's actual basketball skill yet maybe if robert was this insanely skilled big man just maybe we could overlook him being physically too small but we can't because we haven't seen this man scale beyond these shooting drills i didn't even see them put the ball on the floor power dribble ship all i seen is the neck that is one strong neck man i mean taco fall had difficulties getting into the nba and that man played in a d1 school showed dominance in high school but almost got passed on the one thing we just normally don't talk about rob bob is his age he is twenty and a half years old we've seen tomorrow players end up getting to the nba later around the age of 23 like a taco ball minute bowl simbular that didn't that didn't work out but we've also seen players trapped at 20 like porzingis and bobo that means there is a possible timetable for rob to make the nba but like i said long shot the whole point of spire was that robert would become internally strong but because of his surgery he hasn't gotten to take full advantage and actually had to do unconventional methods of training which is already hard because they were already doing unconventional methods of training because of his height but while it's great that rob hasn't had any leg injuries the fact that he's saying that he has discomfort in his knees ain't a good sign either he's barely played he's already had to get back surgery these are all things that are associated with really tall players but because he didn't play we have no idea for his feel for the game and let's be honest we've seen tall players be lacking rochester university isn't the final goal for robert it may just be a way to showcase his abilities and still get a college training staff but i still think it's more realistic for robber to possibly play pro basketball not necessarily in the euro league yet maybe in the romanian league just not in the nba i want to see him get to the nba he seems like a cool dude who is humble and really a likable dude he wants to play basketball professionally wherever he can it'll take him a few years and as height there's just no way that some random team isn't like screw it man let's just try him out hopefully in the future i'm talking about him making the jump to the ncaa because he has four years to show what he's got but what do you think who's your favorite tall player ever streaming tonight one hot day go it's gonna be fun shout out to my girls samhita for being first a bonafide warriors fan thanks for the
