The NBA community have questioned how tall Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid is, after the Sixers center was seen standing next to comedian Kevin Hart.
Joel Embiid is having quite an extraordinary season. After the Philadelphia 76ers center had the best game of his season in a comeback win against the Denver Nuggets where he racked up 47 points, 18 rebounds and 5 assists, he was seen in attendance for the Philadelphia Eagles game against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night – with a host of stars accompanying him.
The Philadelphia Eagles went up against the San Francisco 49ers at the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, and won the game by a convincing 31-7 margin. While it was an incredible night for the Eagles on the pitch, there was a star-studded audience in attendance in Philadelphia as names familiar to the city lined up to watch one of its favourite teams in action in the NFL.
While James Harden of the Philadelphia 76ers lined up along with Embiid to watch the game, the star-studded audience also had celebrities such as rappers Meek Mill and Lil Baby, as well as comedian Kevin Hart – whose interaction with Embiid broke the internet. While the pair were seen sharing a word or two, the huge height difference between the two was noticed by the NBA community on Twitter.
While Embiid towered over the comedian who was barely visible, many people asked how tall Joel Embiid actually is – compared to Kevin Hart.
How tall is Joel Embiid?
A quick Google search will tell you that the Philadelphia 76ers center is listed at 7 feet and 0 inches.
Embiid is widely known as one of the biggest and most dominant figures in the NBA right now, standing at 7 feet and 0 inches – while comedian Kevin Hart is infamous for being only 5 feet and 2 inches tall.
It was no surprise to see the cameraman struggling to even fit the two into the same frame during their conversation, as only Hart’s head and shoulders were able to keep up with the gigantic figure of Embiid on the camera.
