If you have ever wanted to know what a two-foot height difference looks like in real life, Victor Wembanyama and Kevin Hart have got you covered.
The San Antonio Spurs star center Wembanyama made an appearance Saturday at Fanatics Fest, the annual fan and collector event in New York, N.Y. Wembanyama notably participated in a live taping of LeBron James’ popular HBO show “The Shop” and had a great viral moment with the Los Angeles Lakers star James in the process.
At one point during the day, Wembanyama also took part in another live taping. He teamed up with comedian Kevin Hart to film an episode of Hart’s interview series “Cold as Balls” (during which Hart interviews celebrities while taking ice baths).
A photo circulated online on Saturday showing Wembanyama and Hart standing next to each other as part of the taping. The height difference between the two was just as ludicrous as you might expect. Take a look.

Wembanyama, 21, is officially listed at 7-foot-3, and Hart, 45, is just a bit shorter than that at an estimated 5-foot-5. Based on those numbers, it is possible that the photo was actually underselling their height difference (with Hart seemingly standing a bit closer to the camera there).
Hart often pokes fun at his own height as part of his comedy routines. But Wembanyama, who even makes fellow NBA seven-footers look small in comparison, is the one guy whom it is perfectly acceptable to be shorter than.
