7-foot-5 former Mavericks player makes history by smashing world record in another sport



Former Dallas Mavericks player Pavel Podkolzin made history on Tuesday after swapping his basketball shoes for soccer cleats. Podkolzin became the world’s tallest player to ever play in an official soccer game.

The 40-year-old started as a center forward for Amkal Moscow in their second round Russian Cup game against Kaluga. Standing at 7-foot-5, the former Mavericks player was far taller than any other player on the soccer field.

Podkolzin began his NBA career in 2004 after the Utah Jazz drafted him with the 21st pick. However, he was traded to the Dallas Mavericks shortly after getting drafted.
