EUROPE’S tallest teenager Robert Bobroczky has attracted the attention of the NBA, according to reports out of his homeland.

The Romanian sensation stands a towering 2.26m-tall, or 7ft 4in.

And he has been growing at a rate of 10cm a year.

At just 13 years old, he is already taller than the tallest player in the NBA right now, the 2.21m Tanzanian Hasheem Thabeet of Oklahoma City Thunder.

Where does he get his height from? His father Zigmond Bobroczky is a 2.17m giant and former basketballer himself.

Bobroczky recently joined Italian team Stella Azzurra Rome, the same team that produced big man Andrea Bargnani, the No. 1 pick in the 2006 NBA Draft.

In the history of the NBA, there have been only 20 players who stood at 2.21m or taller.
