[Saba Sports News] Malaysia’s top badminton player, Lee Zii Jia, has recently arrived at the Olympic Village in Paris, France. Upon arrival, Lee Zii Jia shared a photo on social media featuring him with NBA basketball legend Pau Gasol. The photo highlights the significant height difference between Lee Zii Jia, who stands at 186cm, and Gasol, who stands at 216cm. This amusing contrast has sparked jokes among fans and netizens, with some humorously commenting on Lee Zii Jia seemingly shrinking in size. It’s worth noting that Lee Zii Jia has always been a basketball enthusiast. Since childhood, he has enjoyed playing basketball and idolized the late Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant. Pau Gasol, a legendary center who previously played alongside Kobe Bryant and won NBA championships with the Los Angeles Lakers, is no stranger to basketball fans. Together, Gasol and Bryant created a glorious era for the Lakers.
