Western Kentucky University's Jamarion Sharp literally towers over the competition.
At 7-foot-5, the center is not only the tallest basketball player in WKU history, but Sharp is also the tallest person playing Division I basketball in the NCAA.
It's not surprising that Sharp gets a lot of questions about his height so, with the help of WKU, Sharp made a video showing what it's like to actually be 7-foot-5.
"One of the questions I get about being 7-foot-5 and playing basketball is, do I have to jump to dunk?" Sharp said. "Just a little bit."
Sharp even makes the Hilltoppers mascot Big Red appear child size.
"More like Little Red," he joked.
Being super tall comes with its advantages on the court, but off the court, it's a different story. Sharp has to duck while leaving E.A. Diddle Arena or else he'll run right into doorways.
Sharp is a junior at WKU, but this is his first season playing for the Hilltoppers. He spent two years playing for John A. Logan College in Illinois before moving back to his native Kentucky.
