At 7 feet and 5 inches and fourteen years old, Brendan Adams is really gigantic as he towers over all his peers. In fact, Brendan Adams is the tallest teenager in the world according to Guinness Book of World Records. This 14-year-old eighth-grader from Ellensburg, Washington has no eyes to play basketball where his height might just be a big advantage. He sees himself as football player instead.

Unfortunately, Brendan Adam's mom is not agreeable to his idea of playing football. Because of his beyond normal height, Brendan's body is not functioning well and his joints are enlarged. Just recently, physicians have identified an arrhythmia in his heart, which makes it lethal for him to play strenuous sports like football. Brendan Adams appeared in Oprah last year with Shaquille O'Neal. O'Neal gave an advice to him: "Just keep your back straight and have fun."
