Most athletes are generally large, However, not many of us ever thought they were ‘that’ large! Take NBA’s Isaiah Thomas of the Cleveland Cavaliers, for example, who’s a “tiny” mere 5’9″. Most of his opponents are on ordinary 6’7″. But then there are the exceptions of the “big athlete” rule; the ones that are beyond big. Some athletes are so massive, they need special requirements for their transportation.

When people discuss the biggest athletes and sportsmen of all time, they generally have a lot of achievements, victories, and awards in mind. But some athletes are “big” in another way altogether. Some of these athletes have reached the top of their sports goals and careers, while others have sadly failed to make their mark. Regardless, they will all go down in history for being literally bigger than average. These are the world’s biggest athletes from back in the day up to today. And they’re not all male!
