We have seen the towering 7 feet 1-inch athlete wreak havoc on the court. His imposing height undeniably gave him a significant advantage in his talent. While he is happy with his height, there is one time when he feels he is shorter.  In the recent Pepsi commercial promoting their new mini cans, the legend expressed a desire to be shorter than his usual height. Surprisingly, when asked whether he ever had the same wish in real life, he unexpectedly answered yes. 

Notably, the Los Angeles Lakers legend said, “The only time I’ve wished I was smaller, so I can get into some of these expensive sports cars,” He added. “Other than that, I’ve never had that thought process.”
