After making the Guinness Book of World Records in 2021, Olivier Rioux has once again taken the internet’s notice with some highlight footage from Brookwood Elite, a Canadian AAU team.
At 17 years old, Rioux is 7-foot-6, according to his Instagram page (and 231 cm on his FIBA page, to be exact, which is closer to 7-foot-6.5). He is listed at 300 pounds on 247Sports, an encouraging number, given as many prospects of his massive size are very thin — Bol Bol, for instance, was about 180 pounds in the summer of 2016, when he was 16 years old, according to DraftExpress.
