There are mismatches in basketball, and then there’s Olivier Rioux standing next to just about anyone under six feet tall. At 7’9”, the world’s tallest teenager is practically in a different time zone from the rest of us. You’d think he was Photoshopped into group photos, but no—that’s just his reality.
Naturally, Rioux draws attention wherever he goes, and fans are eager to snap a picture with the towering teen, who may very well find himself on an NBA roster one day purely based on size alone.
One photo in particular has gone viral, showing CBS broadcaster Tracy Wolfson, who stands at 5’2”, posing next to Rioux ahead of the March Madness tournament. The height difference is so dramatic that Wolfson barely reaches his waist, making fans do a double take and question whether she accidentally stepped into a scene from Honey, I Shrunk the Reporter.
There is no debate that Olivier Rioux is the tallest teenager in the world. Due to his 7’9 “height, he is naturally going to be good at basketball. However, he will also gain a lot of attention.
Of course, fans everywhere will want to take pictures with Rioux as it’s possible that the giant teen will make an NBA roster due to his sheer size alone, and those fans can be anyone.
One picture he took recently with a TV reporter is going viral due to the massive height difference between the two. One look at the photo makes it clear why fans are going insane over it.
Tracy Wolfson is one of CBS’s most recognizable broadcasters, and she decided to take a photo with the teen ahead of the March Madness tournament. The 5’2 broadcaster can barely touch the NCAA baller’s waist.

Rioux is currently the tallest player in the NCAA March Madness Tournament. The french canadian is currently playing for the Florida Gators, who after a solid two wins against Norfolk State and UConn, are set to take on Maryland.
Rioux is currently not a starter due to the fact that he is just 19-year-old. Evidently, the Gators are just looking to develop the future college star, and that height alone can give him a huge advantage on gameday.
CBS Sports joked in a post comparing her to both Tacko Fall and the aforementioned Rioux that she “appears to be a shade under 7’”
“Just the camera angle, she’s actually taller than both,” jokes another Instagram user.
“When you’re courtside but you still need binoculars to make eye contact,” joked another.
“7 ‘9 and isn’t starting,” said another fan in reference to the Gators’ decision.
Clearly fans aren’t happy with the Gators decision however, it’s clearly working for them. And well, Wolfson won’t be making an appearance on a court competitively anytime soon.
VIDEO: Some Dude Just Dropped The Cold Hard Truth On Why All Of These NFL Prospects Are “Dating White Women”
Unless this is your first day in America, then you know race relations in this country dominate just everything, and that includes NBA and NFL drafts
During the most recent NFL Draft in Detroit, social media was buzzing as athletes showed up to the red carpet event with their girlfriends and family. Many of the incoming NFL rookies were African-American and were spotted with white women, which has become the usual theme for years.
The same thing happens with the NBA Draft.
This year, the discourse on the NFL Draft and NBA Draft has gotten even louder as African-American women openly pondered why so many of the players never have a partner that is the same race as them.
One guy on TikTok decided to answer that question by revealing that the vast majority of his division-1 friends in college or headed to the league are dating or married to white women and explained why.
He stated that some of them had told him that their white girlfriend looked up to Taylor Swift while their girlfriend looked up to Megan The Stallion. He then states the guy asks how many white women he has seen doing the Megan Thee Stallion challenge as opposed to Black women.
He then dove into another story of a friend who relayed that his Black girlfriend started to request money from him as soon as she found out about his NIL money. She wanted her hair and nails done. He then added that the Black women would be upset if they went to places like Chipotle, and she demanded steak houses.
