Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
THE alleged -King of Three-s- on TikTok, Stephen Ludwig, also known as -Stevo-, is a 5ft 1 basketball player who was born with a condition called Maffucci syndrome. It is a bone disease that has meant his left leg is shorter than his right by nine inches and one of his arms is shorter than the other. In efforts to accommodate the height differences, Stevo started wearing a platform boot and became so engaged with it, that surgery wasn-t necessary. Due to the similarity in symptoms, he grew up believing he had -Aleyes- syndrome, until recently being diagnosed in his adult life with Maffucci syndrome. As a child, he was also diagnosed with Myeloid Leukaemia at the age of seven and given only 11% chance of survival. Despite the various battles he has faced, whether it is playing golf with his Dad, Mike, or shooting hoops, Stevo turned to sports as an -outlet- and claims that it quickly became the -culprit to his confidence- and made him feel -alive. - With inspiration from the late NBA legend, Kobe Bryant, the funny 24-year-old was encouraged to play basketball with a -leg up- on the competitive sport and share his story with the world

At my first high school I knew a special Ed classmate who had a leg lift for his shoes, maybe almost 12- of lift. He was also on the autism spectrum. I don-t recall the sizes of his arms or head or face, but he was a character, and he tried so hard to fit in. I hope he-s doing okay now.

I was born with my right leg shorter about 5 cm than my left. I had operation when i was 9 to make my leg 2cm longer and i still need to wear special shoe. I can't even imagine how hard it must be walking with that high sole as this boy.

His so down to earth and his humor is so cool, he's someone I'd love to have a conversation with. He's really good looking as well -. Never heard about this syndrome but I've seen people who have it

I used to know a kid who had this. His left leg was around 6-7 inches shorter than his right. He never complained about it a bit. Sadly he moved away and i havent seen him since. Hope hes doing well.

Here is an intelligent, confident, active and humble man. To overcome that much. He has mental and spiritual strength that I can only dream of. I can certainly learn a thing or two from him!

The confidence and dedication will trump ANY disabilities and illnesses he has or ever could have. Plus his swag is --- Get it Boss!
Black Mamba is looking down proud --

If he were to rub a magic lamp and a genie appeared and gave him three wishes, you can bet your life that he would not wish for his legs to be the same size! Cool beans!

What a beautiful human being! He inspires us all, because of outlook on life, and determination. Watching this video made my day! Thankyou and you are the best!

This was a great video. Honestly, I'm surprised he hasn't been recruited by the Harlem Globetrotters yet. I feel like he'd be a star on that team.

He has one of the more tolerable issues from this show. I am unfamiliar with his cause, but it resembles dwarfism as well to the rest of the body.
