One comparison between them and an average human being, you might as well be looking at a fan standing next to the Eiffel Tower, metaphorically of course. Nevertheless, no matter how many times you see professional basketball stars up close, their incredible height always manages to surprise you. Therefore, when Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid was seen standing next to 5’2″ comedian Kevin Hart, the internet went wild.
Both Embiid and Hart had gone to watch the NFC Championship game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the San Francisco 49ers, held at the Lincoln Financial Field.

After defeating their respecting opponents, the Eagles and the Chiefs are all set to face each other in the Super Bowl on February 12.
