Kevin Hart is no stranger to the short jokes. He’s practically made a career out of roasting himself before anyone else can. But recently, the internet found a new favorite Kevin Hart height meme, thanks to a video of WNBA star Rickea Jackson trying to take a picture with him. Now, we all know Hart isn’t exactly NBA material at 5 feet 2 inches, but when you put him next to a towering 6-foot-2 athlete, it’s like watching a Hobbit try to guard an Ent.
Fans couldn’t help but marvel at the sheer contrast. But let’s be real, most of us wouldn’t fare any better standing next to a professional basketball player. If anything, Kevin’s giving us all a glimpse of what it’s like to be a regular person in the presence of giants.
Kevin Hart is the king of short jokes
Let’s get one thing straight, Kevin Hart doesn’t just take height jokes in stride, he sprints full speed into them. The man has built an empire on self-deprecating humor, and this WNBA moment was just another chapter in the saga. If there’s one thing Hart knows how to do, it’s turn an awkward height difference into comedy gold.
Imagine showing up at a basketball event, full of confidence, cracking jokes, shaking hands, and then suddenly finding yourself looking straight up at a room full of skyscrapers. That’s pretty much what happened.
Rickea Jackson bent her knees to match Kevin Hart’s height to take a picture with him and he asked her to stand up straight. This moment was shared on the NBA’s X account and fans ate it up. This funny interaction reminded fans of the time Mike Tyson picked up Hasbullah.
They bought to pick him up like Mike Tyson picked up Hasbullah

Rather than shy away from the obvious, Hart did what he does best, he embraced it. He grabbed the camera and joked,
Y’all so stupid. That’s why you don’t get clothes in y’all’s sizes. WBNA should stand for We Not About The Right Size. I love them. We’re joking.
The clip quickly went viral, with fans praising Hart for always knowing how to turn an awkward situation into a hilarious moment. Celebrities also chimed in, laughing at how effortlessly Hart can entertain.
The science of looking tiny next to tall people
Now, let’s break this down scientifically or at least pretend to. The human brain registers height differences more dramatically when the contrast is extreme. That’s why Kevin standing next to Rickea Jackson looks like a middle schooler posing with their coach. But it’s not just Hart, most of us would look hilariously small next to a pro basketball player. It’s simple optics, people!
The average height for men in the U.S. is about 5 ft 9 in according to Healthline, which means even someone of regular stature would still look short next to Jackson. Now, throw Hart into the mix, and suddenly, it’s a scene straight out of Honey, I Shrunk the Comedian.
At this point, Kevin Hart should consider making this a series, Kevin vs. Tall People. One episode could feature him trying to dunk on Shaquille O’Neal. In the end, Kevin Hart’s latest height joke moment just proves why we love him. He doesn’t just take the jokes, he owns them. And honestly, in a world full of tall problems, that’s a short king move if we’ve ever seen one.
