Tallest Teen Basketball Record: Beats Porzingis’ Height?

The 19-year-old basketball player, whose height is 236 centimeters, has become the tallest player in the history of the NCAA, who scored points, the media BBC reports.

Florida Gators center Olivier Rioux made a late dunk to help his team beat Saint Francis 102-61.

The Canadian basketball player already became the tallest player to ever take the court in college basketball last month when he played his first game in the NCAA championship.

In 2021, he was declared the world’s tallest teenager by the Guinness Book of Records, at that time his height reached 226 centimeters.

Although this was the center’s first dunk, he scored his first NCAA points on a free throw against Merrimack on November 21.

If Olivier Rioux were to make it to the NBA in the near future, he would become the tallest player in the entire league. At the moment, the tallest basketball player in the NBA is the San Antonio “Spurs” representative Victor Wembanyama, whose height is 224 centimeters.
