After the Knicks beat the Orlando Magic, Lee even got to meet players like Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby. Pictures were posted and the height difference is truly shocking. Here’s the 5-foot-0 gymnast with an awkward-looking bent over hug from the 7-foot-0 center Towns.

The height difference between an Olympic gymnast and these NBA players is unreal looking.
Lee also said she was waiting on the court while the team signed a jersey for her.
