Opposites attracted on Monday for a peculiar photo op, as gold medal hopefuls David Lee and Simone Biles provided some perspective on their contrasting heights.
Shortly after arriving in Rio de Janeiro, Lee and Biles blew everyone's mind with one single photo, as the 6-foot-8 Lee - who was on the men's indoor volleyball team that won gold at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing - towered over the 4-foot-8 gymnastics star.

NBA stars DeMarcus Cousins and DeAndre Jordan could provide an even larger juxtaposition with their 6-foot-11 frames standing back-to-back with the 19-year-old budding superstar.
