It's always odd seeing NBA players standing next to regular-sized people, but some NBA giants take these scale photos to new heights. Just look at 7-foot-3 NBA player Bol Bol:
1. Check out Bol Bol's father, Manute Bol, standing next to artist Nelly in an NBA Celebrity game back in 2003. The pressure of guarding a player that size probably had Nelly thinking that it was getting "Hot In Herre".
2. Look at these height differences on the free-throw line. And mind you, this is Bol next to NBA players.

4. Gheorghe Muresan stands next to Billy Crystal on set for the 1998 movie My Giant. I love looking at the scale in these photos because, obviously, he is towering over his co-star, Crystal, but check out the hot dog in his hand. He makes it look like a Little Smokey.

5. Here is an image of Muresan shooting a hook shot. Nothing seems special about this photo, but just look at a young Shaq. He is jumping as high as he possibly can and exerting the most energy I've ever seen a big man use just for a chance to block the shot. Just look at their hands compared to the 10-foot basketball rim...AND Muresan's foot isn't even off the ground.

6. For lovers of the O.G. Space Jam (1996) film, you probably recognize 7-foot-6 Shawn Bradley as the tallest player to have his talents stolen by The Monstars. Here he is next to Austin McCann and "Muggsy" Bogues.

10. Yao Ming might be the most iconic big man in NBA history. At 7-foot-6, he helped bring global attention to basketball in a way that showed anyone from across the world could play the game. Here he is walking out with a fan to...wait, is that David Beckham he is towering over???

19. At six feet, Tim Hardaway struggles to look around 7-foot-4 Mark Eaton. Imagine trying to get any buckets past a giant.
