Abiodun Adegoke is a 2.36 metres (7 ft 9 in) tall Nigerian basketball player who is currently notable for being the tallest basketball player alongside Sun Mingming. Referred to as "Big Naija”, Adegoke's age is of controversy as a news report reported his age as 17 and 2.18 meters tall in the year 2016.[1][2] At that time he had size 53 feet but the biggest shoe that he could find after much searching was a size 50.[3]

For a while, he attended the Segun Odegbami International College and Sports Academy in Wasinmi, Nigeria.[4] Adegoke currently plays in the MPAC Elite Youth League in Dubai.[5]

A recent video from Shaquille O'Neal has garnered NBA interest in March 2021 and would make Adegoke the tallest player to be drafted into the league.[6][7]
