Will we ever see a 8ft, 400 pound athletic freak?
Do you think we'll ever be able to see a 8ft, 400 pound, athletic freak play in the NBA? I guess once that guy comes he will be the new Chamberlain.
With better nutrition, med care, and technology, I wouldn't be surprised to see one 30-40 years later.

Dunking on everybody in the park

He'd be able to dunk without jumping. This will never happen. No one that tall is anything close to athletic and they always drop dead around age 40.

you never know with better nutrition, medical technology, and training these days
if you can get shaq at 7'1 running up and down jumping 38 inches, you can probably get a 8fter running up and down jumping 20 inches 20 years later

There have been 7 foot tall athletic people for a long time. They're a bit more common now but humans aren't going to evolve over a period of 20 years. It could happen over a much longer period of time if we enacted a selective breeding program. Anyone you see now that's 8 feet tall will always have severe back issues from a young age and thyroid problems that lead to all sorts of other complications.

by 2350 we would probably have genetically engineered super humans, 300 years is a long time for technology to advance
you can probably artifically design a person to grow to be 10ft tall, super athletic, strong, healthy, with all the basketball skills already implanted to his brain

It's rare enough for one of these people to even be alive, let alone to be good at basketball.

Those people are never physically capable to play professional sports. The human foot is just not designed for such large beings.
But isn't Pau Gasol almost 8 feet tall, enjoy him while he's here.
