Enes Kanter made headlines this summer when he inked a $70 million four-year contract with Oklahoma City. However, if OKC was really looking for some “Turkish Thunder” to protect the rim, they may have been better off scouting Sultan Kosem, who, at 8’3″, just happens to be the world’s tallest man. Here’s a recently-taken picture of Enes and his fellow countryman that puts into perspective just how tall Turkey’s own “Sultan of Swat” really is.
With the World Tallest Man! (8'3) "Sultan Kosem" from Turkey.
We should try to get him in @okcthunder @NBA @GWR
