Discovered by a dentist at the age of 14, chosen by Washington as a bet, he became a respectable center. Until the film shot with Billy Crystal where an injury ended his career
On the contrary, my giant, My Giant. In the literal sense of the term. Because Gheorghe Muresan, from the top of its 232 centimeters, really is. The title of the film that saw him protagonist together with Billy Crystal in 1998, however, could also have been titled “How to end a NBA career”. Truth or myth? We will never know if it was the shoes worn to turn that feature film that precipitates a general picture already probably very compromised. “Or you want to become a film star or want to be a NBA player. You have to realize which of the two allows you to pay the bills” was the Salace comment of the teammate at the Bullets, Harvey Grant.
