• Meet Chol Marial, quite possibly the tallest middle-school baller in the world

From the "Seriously, how is this fair?" department, we introduce you to Chol Marial -- a middle school basketball player who's been listed as tall as 7-foot-3 and as "short" as 7-1.

Yes, you read that right. Now try to imagine the average eighth-grader boxing him out. Yeah, we can't, either.

The folks over at TakeMyTalent.com helped unearth this physical prodigy who'll obviously be a big-name attraction for college coaches over the next few years.

As we're sure you guessed, Marial easily dominates every aspect of the game when he's on the floor. He renders jump balls pointless, erases shots with volleyball-spike-like precision and scores, well, let's just say he rarely has use for a jump shot right now.

According to MaxPreps, the eighth-grader suited up this past season for West Oaks High in Florida and helped his squad to a 32-4 campaign. Luckily he's playing up in level because Marial might be the most intimidating middle school player ever.
