Sun Mingming Makes ‘The Rock’ Look Like A Baby Man In This Shocking Pic
Sun Mingming, a Chinese basketball player, recently took a picture with WWE wrestler and actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The picture was posted to Dwayne Johnson’s official Facebook page, Twitter page and Instagram profile on Friday. In most cases, there is nothing really special about a professional basketball player taking a picture with a professional wrestler/actor. However, the reason why The Rock was able to turn his picture into a viral trend is simply because of the height difference between himself and Sun Mingming.
Dwayne Johnson referred to the height difference the best way he could in his caption — with a little bit of “The Rock” humor that he has become known for over the years.
“I’m 6’5 255lbs – just let this visual sink in my friends… A pleasure meeting Sun Ming Ming in CHINA. One of the tallest basketball players of all time. Super cool dude.
#IdStillGoHardInThePaint #Hes7Feet9Inches #WhoAmIKidding #CmonMingMing #LetsGoPlayMiniatureGolf”
Sun Mingming has a measured height of 7 feet and 9 inches along with a weight of 370 pounds, according to Dodge City Legend. According to The Rock’s caption, he has a measured height of 6 feet and 5 inches with a weight of 255 pounds.
Just in case you didn’t do the math, this means that Sun Mingming is 1 foot and 4 inches taller than The Rock as well as 115 pounds heavier.
According to Healthy Celeb, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson wears a size 14 shoe — which is 6 sizes smaller than the size 20 shoe worn by Sun Mingming.
Looking at this picture, it is easy to assume that The Rock and Sun Mingming do not have very much in common. However, they actually have a lot more in common than you might think.
Sun Mingming and The Rock are both well-known for their sports careers (basketball and wrestling, respectively.)
Both of the athletes came close to going pro in American leagues, but missed the opportunity for one reason or another. For instance, Sun Mingming was officially declared an eligible choice for the 2005 NBA draft. However, according to China View, Sun Mingming was not selected due to a “lack of strength and fitness.”
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson enjoyed a successful college football career playing for the University of Miami. However, his dreams of making it to the NFL were crushed when he suffered a back injury, according to Biography.
Sun Mingming does not have the extensive resume of acting roles that The Rock has been able to build over the years. However, Sun Mingming was featured in the hit 2007 movie, Rush Hour 3. Ironically, Rush Hour 3 was directed by Brett Ratner – the same man who directed Dwayne Johnson in the 2014 film Hercules.
Therefore, even though The Rock looks like a baby man standing next to Sun Mingming, this “super cool dude” has a lot more in common with “The People’s Champion” than even he might realize.
