We throw around the heights of NBA players on a regular basis without actually thinking just how tall that is. Well, I’ve decided to give you a little bit of perspective, check out these 15 photos of NBA players making regular people look ridiculously tiny!
1) Shaq & Girlfriend Nicole “Hoopz” Alexander
A 7’0″, Shaq is a good two feet taller than girlfriend Nicole “Hoopz” Alexander – and it is portrayed no better than in this photo.
2) Yao Ming & Houston Rockets Athletic Trainer
At 7’6″, Yao Ming was a spectacle, and this photo shows just how big he is compared to the “regular” guy.
3) George Muresan Getting Interviewed
The 7’7″ George Muersan is a beast, and being interviewed by these asian reporters, you can see how tall he really is.
4) Pau Gasol & David Beckham
David Beckham isn’t exactly short himself, at a solid 6’0″ – taller than the average man for sure, but next to the 7’0″ Pau Gasol he is a midget.
5) Manute Bol & Pal
Another 7’7″ player in the late Manute Bol, portrayed just how tall he was with a photo at Basketball without Borders.
6) Nikola Pekovic Next to Comedian Zach Galifianakis
Nikola Pekovic isn’t even seven foot (6’11”), but is still a giant compared to Zach Galifianakis.
7) Hasheem Thabeet with Friend
At 7’3″, OKC’s Hasheem Thabeet is a monster, and dwarfs the friend/fan in this picture.
8) Channing Frye with Friend
6’11” Channing Frye looks about 8 foot next to her.

Perhaps one of the most famous images, 7’0″ Shaq and 7’6″ Yao Ming, engulfing 5’2″ Christina Aquilera at NBA All Star weekend a few years back.
10) Chris Bosh with Wife Adrienne Williams
Chris Bosh is a good couple of feet taller than his smokin’ wife, Adrienne Williams.
11) Dikembe Mutombo and Bill Clinton
At 6’2″ former President Bill Clinton is used to being one of the taller guys in the room, that is, unless 7’2″ Dikembe Mutombo is around.
12) Roy Hibbert & Google Glass Employee
Recently, 7’2″ Pacers big man Roy Hibbert did a number of experiments with Google Glass, and here he is towering over a Google employee.
13) Shawn Bradley and Fan
At 7’6″ Shawn Bradley is going to make anyone look small, but with this fan in particular, the height difference is crazy.
14) Rik Smits and Fans
7’4″ Rik Smits towers over four Pacers fans.
15) Pavel Podkolzin on Draft Day
7’5″ Pavel Podkolzin was drafted by Utah in the 2004 draft, and on draft night, looked down on everyone!
