Links: Mr. Ping Ping, You Are Needed…
Size matters…
Quick post here: The only reason we all found out about the glory of Mr. Ping Ping is because a meeting was set up between Mr. Ping Ping and Bao Xishun, the world’s tallest man.
Or so we thought. Now, according to the BRILLIANT! people at Guinness, there’s a new tallest man in the world. Leonid Stadnik, a former veterinarian in Ukraine, is now the world’s tallest man, standing about 8-6.
Here is a photo of Stadnik looking at a cell phone, which in his hands is about the size of a grain of rice.
Anyway, all of this means, of course, that we need to introduce Stadnik to Mr. Ping Ping.
You all may now go on about your day…

Somewhere, Danny Ainge is frantically dialing a normal-sized phone to get Stadnik on the Celts roster.

Stadnik in the middle, KG at PF, Paul at SF, Ray at the 2 and Ping-Ping at the point. That team is off the charts fantastic, mysterious and classy.

I think El Ping should embark on a grand world tour, meeting the tallest man, the fattest man, the skinniest woman, the fastest animal, those strongest man contests dudes from scandanavia, and the most useless player, like Tim Thomas perhaps.

Looking at the picture that’s in the link, I can see Borat coming up to Stadnik and asking him “can I see you crum?” “I have relieved numerous goats and can give you liquid explosion if you need”

If there’s a taller man out there, there’s probably a shorter man. I’m just sayin’.

Russ even if there is he (or she) wont be as cool as mr. ping ping

Russ Bengtson says:
I’m reserving judgement. And truce, why would you think that photo is fake? Dude’s almost a FOOT TALLER than Gheorghe Muresan. His hands are probably pretty big.

Joel O's says:
Actually, BETCATS, “Ping Ping” / “Pingping” doesn’t matter - it’s the equivalent of his first name. So he’s actually “Mr He”, which sadly sounds a lot less cool than Mr. Pingping. So Mr Pingping it is! Stadnik can probably dunk without even fully extending his hand while standing up. Haha.

You should see this one picture of Mr. Stadnik working with a horse. He has the thing in the same kind of sleeper hold the LAPD banned.

Wait a second, who took this picture? Someone standing on a ladder? To reference how big someone’s hands can be, find any picture of Shaq shooting free throws. It resembles me shooting free throws with a tennis ball.
