How big a giant are we talking about here and what are the acceptable trade-offs?

Two hundred years ago a typical person standing 5’2″ would be the norm. Shawn Bradley is 7’2″ and runs, jumps, and performs hugely coordinated maneuvers at that size. Would a two foot height difference qualify as someone being a “giant”?

If you are talking 50 foot tall monsters then that’s one thing. But what about 11 foot tall beings that were slower on their feet than humans but were strong like elephants? They couldn’t run worth a damn but give one a club and it would mess up your car.
