Payton Pritchard, who is only 6-foot-1, hilariously gestured that the Heat’s Tyler Herro is ‘too small’

By common adult male standards, the Celtics’ Payton Pritchard is actually pretty tall at 6-foot-1. In fact, if he walked amongst a majority of the human population, he’d almost certainly be in the 90th percentile when it comes to height.

But in the NBA — where almost every squad has multiple seven-foot players and forwards with seven-foot wingspans — Pritchard is, to put it nicely: A man among giants. That didn’t stop the Celtics’ (+1) backup guard from touting his height and confidence against the Heat in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

With Boston pulling away late in the first half, Pritchard drove on Tyler Herro before rising to make an easy jumper in the key.
