A 15-year-old basketball star in Florida who stands at a staggering seven-foot-five-inches (228 centimeters) has become the tallest teenager in the world after entering the Guinness World Records for his height.

Olivier Rioux, a Canadian who plays as a center for the IMG Academy in Bradenton, looks to be on course to playing professional basketball as he continues to evolve.

'Everywhere we go, you know, it's not something he can hide from,' Rioux's head coach, Jeremy Schiller, told Fox Sports. 'You can't put on a hat and not be 7'5'' anymore.'

Schiller added that his star player is a phenomenal passer, can shoot the three and is a good finisher at the rim.

'My mom is 6'2'' and my dad is 6'8'',' Rioux said. He also revealed that he wears a size 20 shoe.

'When I was 10, 11, 12, I started growing and it was getting fast,' he added. 'Every week, I was like getting height. I was taller than every kid in my school.'

A highlight video of the Canadian sensation on Instagram shows the almost unfair advantages of being so tall at a young age and the impact it has had over rival teams.

In the clip, Rioux barely gets off his toes to do a slam dunk and barely needs to move to outmuscle his opponents when getting a rebound.
