A - this sentence is using the word "very" rather than saying how much, or how tall the basketball player is / or was.

Wait, this sentence says the basketball player WAS very tall, what happened? Did he/she shrink? Or is this sentence incorrect? The world may never know, I'm just kidding have a good day, i hope this brought a smile to your face <3
