We explored Abiodun Adegoke’s height and age after a video of the young basketball star went viral.
In February 2021, there was a video of super basketball player Abiodun Adegoke (aka “Big Naija”) doing it on the internet.
This is in part due to NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal reposting the video to his Instagram Story on February 26, 2021.
Who is Abiodun Adegoke?
Abiodun Adegoke is a Nigerian basketball player currently living in Dubai, UAE.
He trained with MPAC Sports UAE and was selected for the MPAC Elite Youth League in January 2021.
Abiodun’s nickname is “Big Naija”.
Abiodun Adegoke: Height
Abiodun Adegoke is 7-foot-9. This is about 2.36m high.
The tallest player in the NBA is Sun Mingming from China. He is also 7 feet 9 inches tall. Sun Mingming, 37, retired from the professional basketball team in 2014.
If Abiodun Adegoke makes it to the NBA, he’ll be the tallest active player.
Abiodun Adegoke: Age
When Abiodun shared the news that he is a member of the MPAC Elite Youth League, many people were curious about his age.
His tall stature might make Abiodun look older than his age. The MPAC Youth Basketball League only allows players under the age of 14, leading some to think Abiodun is 14 years old, but that’s not the league he plays in.
Abiodun Adegoke is a member of the elite youth league with older players. Abiodun is thought to be between 18 and 20 years old. Considering he still plays for the youth team, we’ll assume he’s closer to 18 than 20.
