David Beckham was dwarfed by 7ft 6in basketball player Yao Ming as he enjoyed a game at The Venetian Arena in Macao, China on Sunday.
The former England footballer, 51, who is 5ft 11in, took his seat next to the ex basketballer 46, as they watched the Dallas Mavericks beat the Houston Rockets.
David was all smiles as he sat courtside wearing a cool denim jacket with black trousers and crisp white trainers.
While Yao dressed smart in a navy blazer which he teamed with a black polo top, grey trousers and white trainers.
The duo posed with Dallas Mavericks owner Patrick Dumont before David beamed with Houston Rocket power forward Tari Eason, 25, and shooting guard Bogdan Bogdanović, 34.
It comes as David cashes in on a new show with Netflix after his 2023 documentary entitled Beckham drove his business 'through the roof'.

The sportsman's brand partner Jamie Salter spoke about the deal at the Leaders Conference at Stamford Bridge.
He said: 'Following the Beckham documentary on Netflix, he is making more episodes with the channel. David Beckham and Netflix are making another show, which is really cool.
'The last series has driven his business through the roof. Likewise, Victoria’s business is now going through the roof after her docuseries too.
'You will definitely see him make more content. Content drives the message to the consumer.'
David's last four-part Netflix series launched in October 2023 and drew 3.8 million viewers in its first week.
It addressed his many personal and career milestones, including his move to Real Madrid.
His wife Victoria, 52, then released her own three-part biographical documentary that was released globally on October 9, 2025.
It was created by the same team behind 51-year-old David's series and traced her career from being in the Spice Girls to an acclaimed fashion designer, as well as family life.
The Sun reported that 'David netted a £38.5m payout from his sports, fashion, and media business after the World Cup helped it bring in record pre-tax profits.
'DRJB Holdings, which includes the Beckham brand, reported an almost £50m profit in 2025, a 46 per cent jump compared to a year earlier.
'Sales rose from £72.2m to £84m.'

Elsewhere, David has been trying to fix his relationship with his estranged son Brooklyn, 27.
The star offered one more olive branch to him ahead of Victoria's fashion show in Paris last Friday.
David 'liked' an Instagram post of his son and Nicola attending the MESSIKA show the day before.
The clip, shared by photographer Yehiel Chekroune, showed Nicola praising the designers after watching the catwalk alongside photos of the couple at the event.
Eagle-eyed fans noticed David liked the post, with one writing: 'David liked this. He loves his kids. Everything’s going to be okay.'
Brooklyn has failed to be present at any family events for almost two years now after he released a scathing six-page statement in January denouncing his parents, calling family events 'performative' before declaring he was no longer part of 'Brand Beckham'.
But he was in Paris for Fashion Week at the same time as his mother's show so fans were hopeful he and wife Nicola Peltz, 31, would make an appearance.
