Okay, so today I decided to dive into something I’ve been curious about for a while: the heaviest NBA players ever. It’s just one of those random things you start wondering about, right?

First, I opened up my browser. Gotta start somewhere! I figured a general search would be the best way to kick things off, so I typed in “fattest NBA players” and hit enter.
Digging Through the Results
The search results? A total mixed bag, as usual. Some articles, a few lists, and a bunch of forum discussions where people were just throwing names around. Nothing concrete, you know?
So, I started clicking. I opened a bunch of tabs, read through a few articles. Some of the names that kept popping up were:
- Oliver Miller
- Eddy Curry
- Shaquille O’Neal (during his later years, apparently)
- Robert Traylor
- Sim Bhullar
I spent a good hour just going through different sources, trying to cross-reference information. One site would say one thing, another would say something completely different. It was frustrating!
I also went for each individual player’s information to check up their weight individually.
Finally. It was kinda fun, kinda annoying, but hey, I learned a thing or two about some big dudes in NBA history!
