World's Tallest Man Poses with Former Tall Person Enes Kanter
You should've seen Enes Kanter in his prime. He was a tall, tall man. Like a Swiss-Turkish beanstalk, really.
Ah, those were the days...days that are gone now.
The 6'11" Oklahoma City Thunder center became a short person Thursday afternoon thanks to a literal giant who wandered into his vicinity and shrank him down to size.
Kanter tweeted out a picture of himself with Sultan Kosen, an 8'3" Turkish man recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the tallest living male on the planet.
WSB-TV Atlanta's Mike Petchenik also caught a picture of the two.
They appeared to be hanging out in a crowd of what looks like Smurfs or some other breed of small humanoid:
I can only imagine their conversation.
"So...how long you been tall?"
"A while. How 'bout you?"
"Same."
"It's fun, right?"
"Yeah, except for like...doors...and basically everything."
"Yeah...walking through doors is a whole thing..."
"Yeah..."
Also, props to Kanter.
He seems to be struggling manfully to avoid making a "How's the weather up there?" joke. That had to be hard.
Dan is on Twitter. He wishes he were a little bit taller, but this is just too much.
