Aleksey Kazakov (7’2”)

This time, we have Russian volleyball player Aleksey Kazakov who makes this list for being 7’2” tall and is well known for being among the tallest volleyball players. In addition, he’s a heavy 247 pounds but he uses his height and weight to his advantage, which means he plays on his strengths when he serves, spikes, and blocks the ball. He was part of his country’s national team for the Olympics, where they won silver in the games held in Sydney in 2000 and bronze in Athens in 2004, and for the 2001 European Championship in Ostrava, where they also won bronze. He has also turned to acting, which seems to be quite common for sports stars, and he has been in films and TV shows, such as The Rider Named Death and Sudebnaya Kolonka.
