5-foot-6 Jose Altuve stood next to 7-foot Embiid

At 5-foot-6, Jose Altuve is often the shortest person in photos, especially when he's standing next to other athletes. For instance, here's a photo of him and J.J. Watt at Sports Illustrated's Sportsperson of the Year event.

Watt and Altuve are sharing the award. But Watt isn't the only other big athlete there - someone much, much taller stood next to the Astros star.

THAT is a height difference.

It's just another reminder that talented champion athletes can come in all sizes.
