Suni Lee apparently has multiple fans on the USA Basketball team.

Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant became the latest USA Basketball player to pose for a viral photo this week with the American gymnast Lee at the Paris Olympics. The height difference between the 6-foot-11 Durant and the 5-foot-0 Lee was quite significant.

The meet-up comes just days after Lee, who finished the Paris Games with three medals (including gold in the team competition), posed for a picture with Durant’s Suns and USA Basketball teammate Devin Booker too. The height difference in that photo was still sizable but not nearly as great.

Durant is a big fan of USA Gymnastics in his own right though. Earlier in the Olympics, Durant made the headlines with his great compliment for Lee’s teammate Simone Biles.
