The Inspiring Journeys And Larger-Than-Life Stories Of Enormous Athletes Who Redefined Greatness!

Troy “Escalade” Jackson, an imposing figure on the basketball court, left an indelible mark with his colossal presence. Standing tall at an impressive 6 feet 10 inches and carrying a weight of around 500 pounds, his nickname “Escalade” became synonymous with streetball legend. His extraordinary skills caught the discerning eye of Wallace Community College’s coach, leading to a remarkable collegiate career. This recognition paved the way for a scholarship opportunity at the University of Louisville and initiated a transformative journey during which he shed a staggering 140 pounds. Tragically, in 2011, Jackson’s life was cut short at the age of just 39, when he passed away peacefully in his sleep due to hypertensive heart disease.
