Watch Ben Chilwell hand 6ft 10in NBA star Kevin Durant a tiny Chelsea shirt as fans joke ‘he gave him a crop top’
THIS is the hilarious moment Ben Chilwell finally lost an aerial duel.
That’s after handing 6ft10in NBA star Kevin Durant a Chelsea shirt.
But the jersey proved to be too small, with fans joking Chilwell gifted him a “crop top” instead.
Chilwell, 26, and Durant, 34, met before Chelsea’s 2-0 pre-season win over Fulham last weekend.
The Blues cruised to victory over their London rivals in the US thanks to goals from Thiago Silva and Christopher Nkunku.
But before kick-off, two worlds collided as Chilwell linked up with basketball legend Durant in the tunnel.
The duo boast plenty of trophies between them, with Chilwell a Champions League winner and Durant a two-time NBA final victor with the Golden State Warriors.
And they revealed their mutual respect for each other as Chilwell gifted his giant counterpart a Chelsea shirt.
However, the jersey appeared to be noticeably small for Durant’s huge frame.
The now-Phoenix Suns star grinned as he put the shirt over his held before pulling it down.

But Durant quickly took it off again, laughing to Chilwell as the shirt was simply too small to wear.
Football fans also found the incident hilarious.
One said: “Kevin Durant just got a Chelsea jersey from Ben Chilwell, but it looked like a crop top on him as it was a few sizes too small.”
Another declared: “The speed at which he took off that jersey!”
One noted: “Chilwell recruiting Durant to play gk for us.”
Another added: “Imagine if Chilwell got his shoes.”
