I wonder what the average height will be in the nba in like 20-30 years, imagine every team having a couple of these guys lmao
I am 6 feet long and I would absolutely look like his 5 year old son if I stand next to him
7’9” what are these boys eating?! First we have 7’4” wemby who can knock down 3s like a point guard and dunk like Shaq. Now we have Oliver Rioux who is almost as tall as the rim. This kid could easily beat Wilt’s rebound record in the nba
Shaquille O’Neal is 7’1 that’s insane this dude makes Shaq look small
Buddy drives to the basket, and the 7’ 9” kid strolls away from a possible rebound.
Guess he didn't get a touch
Okay, so where's the action?
Bro, cmon. We got to have height limits, this is unfair 😂
Coach & Point Guard…READ THE ROOM
But he is there for what?? Bench warning only??
1:30, that's nuts, he makes the other guy look 6 feet.
He must be trash if they subbed him in at the end of the game?
Only highlights is when he pick up the ball 😊😊😊 GOODLUCK KID ❤
No way he is 7'9 he looks 7'5
Btw it's Olivier not Oliver, he's a fellow French-Canadian 🇨🇦. 🤷
Oh canada! And can someone please just get him the ball by the rim? Seriously. You can loop it to him ten feet in the air!
No highlights for this kid?
He's an X Men from Wolverine squad
Florida has nerdiest fans. We love it
Come on, this guy is not 7ft9
Idc giants were real 😂
college basketball rankings are dumb af lmao. Florida is 0-1 and ranked 3? Also why is that dude diving for the ball at 1:14? its 61 to 104, the game is over and you are risking an injury? Gotta be braindead.
Supposed to get a lob or low post up first play
If he was black he'd be getting the taco treatment, but he don't have the complexion for the protection
The fact that he didn't just lob it up there is criminal. No one else could catch the lob but him. He was also open after the duck in. The fact that he is coordinated and can run is amazing!!!
OMG. If he's even a halfway decent Center, he'll probably be first pick when he goes into the draft.
Nice double dribble
The kid came in and looked like a dog with his tail between his legs.
Bon courage, Olivier. Ne lâche pas.
Hope he can remain healthy.
