Unbelievable Growth: The 7-Foot-5 Toddler Drawing NBA Scouts’ Attention
Ever find yourself wondering what would happen if you mixed the spirit of a five-star NBA prospect with the boundless enthusiasm—and, let’s admit it, questionable bladder control—of a 2-year-old? Yeah, me neither… until today. But here I am, staring at a 7-foot-5 toddler in size 17 Stride Rites and wondering if I’ve just glimpsed the first real unicorn to ever smash a Fisher-Price backboard. Frankly, I can’t decide if this is the harbinger of a new basketball dynasty or just the wild result of leaving your ‘Create-a-Player’ sliders unchecked on NBA 2K. The scouts are already salivating, but if you ask me, nothing says “future MVP” quite like dominating ‘Head, Shoulders, Knees, And Toes’ with the wingspan of a pterodactyl. And sure, maybe the occasional sippy cup outburst is a red flag—but hey, Shaq ate his share of goldfish crackers too.

ORLANDO, FL—Noting that there was “just something about him” and that he possessed the kind of innate physical tools that could not be taught, basketball scouts confirmed Friday that they saw tremendous potential in 7-foot-5 toddler Miles Covington. “I know talent, and this kid has that ‘it’ factor—great length, a huge wingspan, wears size 17 Stride Rites, and he already knows how to say ‘ball,’ which is a great start,” said 247Sports director of scouting Adam Finkelstein, adding that while Covington was still a little raw and needed to focus on his footwork, conditioning, and not wetting himself, the 2-year-old had all the makings of an elite rim protector. “Obviously, you’d like to see him put some muscle on that frame and get him on a diet that’s more than goldfish crackers and yogurt pouches. But seeing how quickly he gets up and down during ‘Head, Shoulders, Knees, And Toes,’ you can tell he’s going to be an absolute force on the glass. He’s definitely one of the more intriguing prospects in the 2024 age group, and he’s still growing. If he can get to 8-foot-2, I think it’ll be much easier to forgive some of his defensive shortcomings.” Despite their enthusiasm, scouts have recently raised concerns about Covington’s maturity level following controversies in which he bit his sister and threw his sippy cup at the wall.
