Okay, so the other day I was watching some old NBA games, and I started wondering, who’s the fattest player to ever play in the league? I mean, we all know Shaq was a big dude, but was he the biggest?

So, I fired up my laptop and hit up Google. I typed in something like, “fattest NBA player ever,” and boom, there it was.
The Search
- I typed “fattest NBA player” into the Google search bar.
- The first result was pretty clear, it was pointing to Oliver Miller.
Turns out, the heaviest player ever was this guy named Oliver Miller. The search result said he weighed in at a massive 170 kilograms! That’s like, 375 pounds, man! That’s a big fella!
I dug a little deeper, you know, just to make sure it wasn’t some kind of internet hoax. And everything I found confirmed it. Miller played in the NBA back in the 90s and even had a short comeback in the early 2000s.
Figuring It Out
What’s even crazier is that he apparently started his career at around 270 pounds (120kg), but his weight just kept going up throughout his playing days. It’s wild to think about a guy that big playing professional basketball.
So, there you have it. My little investigation led me to Oliver Miller, the fattest NBA player of all time. Case closed!
