PHOTO: Enes Kanter looks tiny next to world's tallest man
At 6-foot-11 and 245 pounds, there are very few people Enes Kanter doesn't tower over.
But the Oklahoma City Thunder center looked more like diminutive teammate D.J. Augustin on Thursday, forced to look way, way up at a fellow Turkey native in Alpharetta, Ga.
Kanter was on hand to help open Fulton Science Academy, joined by Sultan Kosen, the world's tallest man, who made Kanter look tiny.

Kosen measures 8-foot-3, the Guinness World Record for tallest living man, and is one of only 10 confirmed cases of a human surpassing 8-feet. He also has the record for largest hands at 11.2 inches, putting even Giannis Antetokounmpo to shame.

6-foot-11 just doesn't seem so big anymore.
