A day after his father Donald became president, Barron Trump has surprisingly been tipped for an NBA career with the New York Knicks.
Barron, 18, grew to 6 feet 7 inches and towered over other aides when his father occupied the Oval Office for the second time.
And comedian and lifelong Knicks fan Michael Rapaport thinks his team should give Barron a chance on the court.
“With Big Body Barron,” he's that guy, Rapaport said in a video posted on X. “Big Body is going to do good things in this world.”
“I was thinking while Big Body was up there, standing in the back, big: The Knicks should sign him to a 10-day (contract), see what he has,” Rapaport added.
'(Knicks center) Mitch Robinson won't be back anytime soon, you never know. You need another big man in the position. It seems to have a soft touch.

The suggestion was made by comedian Michael Rapaport, who suggested the Knicks sign him.
Barron's youth soccer skills left many social media users stunned
Barron, who attended Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School in high school, is not believed to have basketball experience.
His father also rejected the idea of him playing soccer during an interview in 2019, saying he would find it “difficult” to let his son play the sport.
“I just don't like the reports I see that have to do with football; I mean, it's a dangerous sport and I think it's really difficult,” Trump told CBS' Face the Nation.
'I thought the team would improve and it did. Helmets have improved a lot, but that hasn't solved the problem.
On the contrary, Barron has played football and his highlights on the field go viral.
In fact, when Wayne Rooney was DC United manager during Trump's first term, the Manchester United legend briefly met Barron after the commander-in-chief asked him to offer some football advice to his teenage son.
Barron, who was around 12 years old at the time, is a soccer fan and had reportedly played for DC's youth team.
“He asked me to give his son soccer lessons,” Rooney said in The overlap.
'(Barrón) said: 'Do you want to see my dad?' He took me to the Oval Office and then from there his personal assistant would just text me: “Do you want to play some holes?”
Kai Trump is an avid golfer like her grandfather, Donald, who sealed her return to the White House.

However, the most promising athlete in the family appears to be Barron's niece Kai, Donald Jr.'s 17-year-old daughter who has committed to play collegiate golf at the University of Miami.
She has won the women's club championship at her grandfather's golf course in Palm Beach, Florida, and has played with some of the game's biggest stars.
Kai credited the previous (and incoming) president for helping her achieve her college goal by announcing her commitment to the University of Miami.
“I would like to thank my grandfather for giving me access to great courses and tremendous support,” he said.
'I would also like to thank my entire family for always encouraging me and pushing me to be the best person I can be. “I would like to thank my friends for always encouraging me,” he continued.
For now, Barron has a new venture to focus on, as he is launching his own luxury real estate company with two equally young business partners.
Newsweek first reported the incorporation of Trump, Fulcher & Roxburgh Capital Inc. in Wyoming last July.
The company dissolved just four months after Trump's victory in the 2024 election.
Cameron Roxburgh, one of the company's co-founders, said the pause was to avoid any election-related media attention as they looked to launch their company.
The company will focus on high-end properties and golf course projects in the western states of Utah, Arizona and Idaho.
