Tom Brady may be a seven-time Super Bowl champion but his teenage son has him beat in one aspect of life.
The NFL legend shared a wholesome set of photos from a pickup game with New York Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns and his 18-year-old son, Jack, to Instagram this week.
But unlike usual, it wasn't Brady's sporting prowess that got people talking - but rather his height.
Despite standing at 6-foot-4, the former quarterback was towered over by, not only NBA icon Towns, but also his own teenage son.
In a photo of the trio posing for the camera, Brady was the smallest of the bunch, standing just shorter than his son.
And fans were quick to spot the height difference, with many mocking the retired signal caller for his stature.

'I love a short king,' one wrote in the comment section of the Instagram post, while another posted: 'Brady 6'4'-6'5' and the shorstest (sic) here is wild.'
'Jack taller than his dad?!,' one stunned fan asked as another echoed: 'Wait Jack is taller than his old man now?'
'@tombrady are you shrinking or is Jack growing?! lol,' a fifth quipped.
In other photos, Jack was captured driving to the basket and dunking, while Towns was seen giving him advice.
Jack had appeared to have followed in his father's footsteps, playing quarterback and safety in high school football.
However, it appears basketball could be his chosen sport with even his famous father admitting that he's got game on the court.
'Yeah, he played this last year, and I don't even know if he's going to play next year. And to be honest, whatever he chooses, I'll be very happy,' Brady previously told People.
'But he loves lacrosse... basketball's probably his favorite sport, but he's a very good student.'

The NFL star also shares two younger children - son Benjamin, 15, and daughter Vivian, 12 - with ex-wife Gisele Bundchen.
Brady shared a touching tribute to his son on his 18th birthday, sharing a series of adorable snaps from throughout his youth - including pics of Jack in the Patriots locker room, wearing his dad's helmet, and even golfing as a child.
'From little steps to big dreams, happy birthday Jack. You've always shown grace, courage, love and kindness since God blessed us with your arrival,' said Brady - who had Jack with ex-wife Bridget Moynihan.
'I'm so proud of the man you are! Welcome to adulthood, it comes with higher credit card limits, bigger bills, and no curfew… OK maybe not all at once!
'There is a saying that a dad's heart soars with his children's happiness, not with his own…truer words could not be spoken.
'We love you so much and I know this will be your best year yet.'
