7' 5" Tall Player Dominates a High School Basketball Game

"Mamadou had 30 points, despite playing a lot of the second half with a hurt knee. He plays for Brethren Christian High School in California."

Ok well I checked the maths on this, average height is about 5' 10" with a standard deviation of 2.8 inches (for Americans apparently). This guy is 21 inches taller than average which is 7.5 standard deviations above the norm.

So some humorous facts:
There is a 99.9999999997440% of being born less than 7 standard deviations from the norm.
That means there is one chance in seven hundred and eighty one billion of being born taller than 7' 5.6" (7 standard deviations above the norm). So basically, this guy breaks maths.

Feel free to correct my horrible calculations
