After entertaining thoughts of becoming the country’s second tallest baseball player, to Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Randy Johnson, 6-9 Ahmad Nivins dropped baseball as his primary sport and recently started concentrating on basketball.
“I just picked up basketball about a year or so ago at this time and I had been playing baseball all of my life up until that time,” Nivins told TechSideline.com. ”I didn’t feel that my height was a problem because Randy Johnson and Richie Sexton play baseball and they are pretty good. I just started watching NBA games more and just started liking basketball more and I am having more fun with that now.”
