There’s this really great subreddit called r/BobanHoldingThings. It is, as you can guess, an entire place dedicated to pictures of Los Angeles Clippers center Boban Marjanovic putting his large mitts on something and holding them. It is consistently very good, both because Marjanovic (listed at 7’3) is the best and because he’s able to do things like “palm a gallon of tea like it’s nothing.”
Of course, there are limits to this. You never want to laugh at a person, but rather, you want to laugh with them, viewing the things that they do as humorous because they’re funny, not because you’re being mean. As such, I invite you to laugh with me at these pictures from Tuesday night, which have Marjanovic standing next to Emmy Award-winning actress Kristin Chenoweth.

A quick Google search informs me that Chenoweth is 4’11. Now, that doesn’t necessarily mean she’s 4’11 in this picture — perhaps that was an incorrect measurement, or maybe she’s slightly taller than that right here, as evidenced by the fact that she’s wearing heels. What I do know is that she has to tilt her head all the way up to make eye contact with Marjanovic, because she comes up to, like, his bellybutton.
I believe it is not too early to introduce these into the pantheon of photographs of tall NBA players standing next to short people, which famously includes any picture of Manute Bol and Muggsy Bogues, Shaq standing next to Simone Biles, or Yao Ming standing next to basically anyone.
