[Saba Sports News] Chet Holmgren had to do a double take when he saw a viral social media post that looked eerily familiar.
Over the weekend, a photo made the rounds showing what appeared to be a ridiculously tall guy at a college party—until you realized it was actually two people.
One person, dressed in black, was sitting on the shoulders of another person also wearing black. From the back, with matching outfits and a perfect camera angle, it looked like one impossibly tall dude in the room.
Naturally, the internet had jokes—and many claimed it was none other than Oklahoma City Thunder big man Chet Holmgren.
On Monday, Holmgren chimed in on the post himself, replying, “Even I thought this was me,” with a laughing emoji.
The resemblance is no joke. At 7-foot-1 and 208 pounds, Holmgren’s lanky frame and hairstyle made the illusion even more convincing. But let’s be real: the 22-year-old rising star—and now multi-millionaire—probably isn’t crashing college parties anymore (and definitely not as a two-man stack).
Holmgren, who missed some time earlier this season with a hip injury, is back on the floor and finding his rhythm again. Clearly, he hasn’t lost his sense of humor either.
