How to play defense against someone really fat in 1 v. 1 basketball?

So, I was playing basketball against this kid today, and I usually beat him. Today, however, he decided to use his size against me (He's a 5'11, 300 lb offensive lineman, I'm a 6'1, 170 lb quarterback, kinda big difference.) Every time he got the ball, he would sort of ram into me until he got close enough for the lay-up. How do I play defense against him? He's too big to reach for the ball when he's dribbling, and the way he rams me isn't exactly charging, it just makes me stumble a bit.

    Elbow him in his fat stomach, never mind his flabby stomach would just absorb the impact. JK!

    When he's about to bump you move out of the way a few time, it could throw him off balance.

    play aggressive D and dont let him push you around. be strong under the net and use ur hight and plant ur feet to take a charge, make him shoot the ball.

    Pull the chair out from under him and laugh at their fat @$$ when they end up on the floor

    Give him the old Bullfighter move, leaning into him, and then quickly moving away when he leans back. He'll fall and go boom.

    Use his weight against him. Throw a cheeseburger or something.
