PHOTO: 7’6 NBA Star from Germany Makes Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley Look Like Normal People

NBA stars are some of the tallest players in the world. Due to the game dynamics in basketball, being tall is almost a prerequisite to getting into the league. Whenever a fan or an average-sized person takes a pic with an NBA player, the difference in height in most cases is quite spectacular. However, there are some players, who make NBA players look like average humans. In one such instance, Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan seemed very short beside this 7’6″ NBA star.

In an iconic picture from 1996, Jordan posed with Charles Barkley, Muggsey Bogues, Patrick Ewing, and a couple of other stars for Space Jam. Interestingly, Shawn Bradley, a former NBA player was also in the pic and he made the other athletes look almost diminutive.

Six-time NBA champion Michael Jordan usually wasn’t the tallest player on the court. However, he was still 6-foot-6 inches tall, which is quite big for the average person. While standing next to Shawn Bradley, MJ seemed like a fan taking a picture with an NBA player.

Not only Jordan, every other player in the picture, including Patrick Ewing and Charles Barkley seemed short in front of Bradley. Bradley is 7-foot-6 inches tall and was one of the tallest players in the league during his time. He was a part of the Space Jam cast, which features numerous NBA athletes.
