7Ft 7 Paul Sturgess appearance on The Doctors

This was one of my first National TV appearances when I was a member of The Harlem Globetrotters. One of my favourite interviews I've ever done, and gives a light hearted insight to my height.

@Will Smith Obviously 6'8" is tall, but in comparison to someone who is 7'8" it really isn't. A man of 6'8" would barely stand past Paul's shoulder. A foot difference in height is huge.

Lets put this into perspective. The tallest doctor is around 6'4" to 6'5". Tiny is 7'7" to 7'8" so roughly 14"-16" difference. Robert Wadlow was verified at 8"11" before he died so roughly 15"-16" difference between Wadlow and Sturgess so Wadlow would make Sturgess look like the doctor. !! MAN THAT IS TALL !!

[@yaiiso]

he didn't even die from his 8'11 stature, but rather an infection that no doctor wanted to treat 😭 i think he could have easily hit 9'4

I was less than 5’6 through high school and now I’m 5’7-5’8. Y’all are some big boys but I just wanted to say, I was surprised I kept growing until I was 21. Never hit a “growth spurt”. Just grew 1-2 inches every year. Only wish I was this height so I was a little bigger for sports earlier on so I could get a scholarship. Edit: I’m bout the same height as Goku heheh. 6’5 man, that’s tall enough. You probs wouldn’t wanna be any taller, my homies have a hard time with cars and cloths that are your height.

[@Accuratetranslationservices]

The craziest thing about this… there’s nothing medical causing this. Nothing wrong with him at all. Most people that tall have some sort of disorder, but they did tests on Sturgess when he was younger and it’s just genetics. He’s simply very tall.

[@sloeberdoet]

That's. why he can do sports and other things ,the most of that height with a disorder are disabled and have difficulties to walk.

His type of giantism is genetic, which is the really good type. There's also the pituitary gland giantism. That's the bad one. They die early in life & have tons of health problems because of the out of control growth that won't stop (i.e. Robert Wadlow, Sandy Allen, & Dolores Pullard).
