Houston Rockets star center Alperen Sengun, standing at a hefty 6’11”, was absolutely dwarfed when he stood next to franchise legend Yao Ming in a photo posted by the team. It’s rare to see a guy who stands at almost seven feet look small, but that’s exactly what happened.
The Photo That Broke the Scale
The visual from the Rockets’ post is just wild, right? You’ve got Sengun, a serious big man at 6’11”, and he looks like he could be Yao Ming’s kid brother, or maybe a guard. Yao, the Hall of Famer, towers over him at an astounding 7’6″. It really puts into perspective just how massive Yao Ming truly was, and still is. A 6’11” NBA star looking “majorly undersized” is not something you see every day, and it’s a testament to the legend’s incredible stature.
Sengun’s Ascent and What’s Next for the Rockets
While the photo is a fun throwback, Sengun himself is a force to be reckoned with in today’s game. He’s really stepped up and become one of the best young centers in the entire NBA. This dude’s already a two-time All-Star, showing off a skill set that makes him a nightmare for defenses. He’s not just some tall guy; he’s legit. Looking ahead, Sengun isn’t just trying to make a name for himself, he’s got his sights set on the biggest prize. He’s hoping to help lead the Rockets to a championship this season. That’s a massive goal, and with his talent, you can bet he’s going to push his team hard for it.
