World Tallest Teenager by Ayemokhia: 11:12pm On Feb 21, 2010 |
Call her Air Anderson. This up-and-coming New Jersey high school basketball player is only 16, but Marvadene Anderson is already a giant on the court. At just under 6-foot-11 -- and still growing -- she's the world's tallest teenage girl. The Jamaican-born hoopster, who could tower over legendary ballplayers like Michael Jordan (6-6) and LeBron James (6-, was the highest-scoring "netball" player in her country -- a sport similar to basketball. That on-court prowess earned her a scholarship to Rutgers Prep in Somerset, and for the last two months she's been hitting the hardwood to learn the rules of basketball. Christopher SadowskiArielle Sherman, 15, 5'2 Christopher Sadowski Arielle Sherman, 15, 5'2" (left) and Marvadene "Bubbles" Anderson, 16, 6'11" Photos: World's Tallest Teen Basketball Player The Argonauts center was a standout with her teammates during a practice game Wednesday, where she played alongside pint-sized point guard Arielle Sherman, 15, who at 5-foot-2 barely reaches Anderson's elbow. PHOTOS: MARVEDENE TOWERS ON THE COURT Get more high school sports coverage at The Post! Anderson uses her size to intimidate her opponents, block shots and make easy layups. "Everyone has come up to me and asked if I play college basketball. I told them I'm only a sophomore in high school. They gasped when I told them," Anderson said. The gal giant, whose family remained in Jamaica, was taken in by Enid Angus, who discovered her talents. "She's my heart. I committed to treating her like my own," she told the Asbury Park Press. Anderson said she got her nickname "Bubbles" because of her good humor. "People are friendly with me because of my height and my personality. If I was tall and mean, I think I'd have a problem," she said. The biggest problem "Bubbles" seems to have is adjusting to the cold weather and finding clothes and shoes to fit her 210-pound frame and size-12 feet. As a schoolgirl back home, Marvadene confessed, she was teased a lot. "They call me 'baby giant,' and my older sister Kimberly is 6-foot-4. They call us the Twin Towers," she said. "The rudest thing anybody ever said about my height is that I'm not going to be able to find a husband." Rutgers coach Mary Coyle-Klinger and her sister, former WNBA coach Pat Coyle, have been working with their new star. Anderson picked up six points in her first game on Dec. 10 and Coyle-Klinger was not disappointed. "Of course she is going to be a star," she said. "She's a natural. She's only been playing two months and it's amazing how well she's adapted." Read more: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/nj_hoops_gal_huge_star_m1kiRXXzoE4laLi2PRqB5L#ixzz0fhVZYEch |

Re: World Tallest Teenager by THEAMAKA(f): 4:20am On Feb 22, 2010 |
sjeezy8:I've been ignoring your arse, so don't bring me up, understood? expecting you to pull the "blah blah blah-lol" card |
Re: World Tallest Teenager by chiogo(f): 4:24am On Feb 22, 2010 |
FL Gators:Not true, I was on a b-ball team, this tallllll girl couldn't play. Tall people like that are mostly good for dunking not shooting. The one on my team wasn't this tall though so she couldn't dunk. But dayuum, this girl is the same height as KG, a pro b-ball player and a GUY! She's a female!! A plus if she can shoot. Another Candace Parker, whoop whoop!! |
Re: World Tallest Teenager by THEAMAKA(f): 4:25am On Feb 22, 2010 |

Re: World Tallest Teenager by Nobody: 4:27am On Feb 22, 2010 |
chiogo: My team could not pay me enough to play against her. She's packing on some weight, one push and I know I'm done for. THE AMAKA:And some of us worry about being too short |
Re: World Tallest Teenager by chiogo(f): 4:30am On Feb 22, 2010 |
FL Gators:Like they told us "the biggest ones fall the hardest". Never listened to that, I fear for my life, I'll gladly move out the way. THE AMAKA:LOL, I wanna be a little taller but not like this girl. Maybe your height. |
Re: World Tallest Teenager by THEAMAKA(f): 4:31am On Feb 22, 2010 |

Re: World Tallest Teenager by chiogo(f): 4:33am On Feb 22, 2010 |

Re: World Tallest Teenager by Nobody: 5:07am On Feb 22, 2010 |
sjeezy8:I do I do. But it still doesnt change the fact that you need a girl like that to bounce your head against the wall 10-20 times a day. "Wimp a$$ sissy, wear the fcukking apron and make my 5th meal" |
Re: World Tallest Teenager by shilling(f): 5:09am On Feb 22, 2010 |
