Joel James, saved by the ball

Posted Sep 23, 2011
When someone sees Joel James walking down the street, the first that comes to mind probably is, ‘He must be a basketball player!’ The 6-11, 280-pound giant with absolutely massive shoulders graduated from the regular sizes and became forced to shop at the Big and Tall store. His size 17 shoes look like sailboats, and his hands look like tennis rackets. He effortlessly puts all of his skills together and dominates the hardwood. (SLAM Online)
