The average height for an adult man in the United States is 5-foot-9. Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards easily knew that with seven centimeters with a stated height of 6-foot-4. Most people have to look up when they speak with the Ant-Man. That does not mean that the 24-year-old superstar can sometimes not look small. A recent photo of Edwards that stands next to Houston Rockets -legend Yao Ming, shows how ridiculously long Yao is.
Anthony Edwards is currently touring in China
Anthony Edwards is currently in China, together with Adidas during the Tour “Believe Die”. The 24-year-old revealed his new characteristic shoe, the AE 2, during that tour.
When it comes to basketball icons in China, the first name that should come to everyone’s thoughts is Yao Ming. The first overall choice in 2002, Yao’s listed height is 7-foot-6. The center spent his entire NBA playing a career at the Rockets.
Yao is more than a foot bigger, 14 inches to be exactly than Edwards. The two met in China and took a photo together. The length discrepancy was noticeable, making someone like Edwards with a large average height look rather small.
Is nobody like ant 😭😭😭

At his discussion account, Edwards Yao complimented him by calling him one of the greats, but also that he would immerse him. He written”
“I wud Dunk on Yao shouts at one of Da -Groten”
Unfortunately, Yao played for the last time in the NBA in 2010, so that that opportunity will not be presented in a game. However, Edwards can certainly go through the air, as is apparent from his Dunk at Kevon Looney in last year’s play -offs.

Yao Ming is one of the longest players in the NBA history
Yao is included in the basketball Hall of Fame and is one of the longest players in the NBA history. Only two players are ever mentioned at a larger height. These are Gheorghe Muresan and Manute Bol. Tacko Fall and Shawn Bradley are also mentioned on 7-foot-6. Yes, his career was often derailed by injuries, but Yao easily had the best career among those players. He was an eight-time all-star and five-time all-NBA player.
Although Edwards would have to get up quite high for YAM on Yao, I dare to believe that there is no Timberwolves fan around those doubts that he could do that. Perhaps he gets the chance to do this on Zach Edey van de Grizzlies, the highest active player at 7-foot-4.
