A 7-foot-1 content creator named Dice became an overnight sensation after pulling off a hilarious prank during the 2025 NBA Draft. The video shows Dice pretending to have been drafted by the Portland Trail Blazers.
Wearing a sharp suit and towering over the crowd, Dice roamed the draft venue and nearby bars, confidently telling people he had just been selected by the Blazers. With no 7’1″ players actually drafted this year, the claim might have seemed suspicious, except for one thing: Dice’s height made it entirely believable.
From a wide-eyed young fan asking for a photo to a woman at a bar offering congratulations, the reactions were priceless. Most people didn’t question the story. After all, how often do you run into someone that tall who isn’t in the NBA?
Dice’s prank taps into a fascinating cultural truth: height, especially extreme height, is often equated with athletic legitimacy. Statistically, only about 25% of men over 7 feet tall have played in the NBA, a striking number that fuels the assumption that anyone that tall must be a pro baller.
The prank also underscores the spectacle of the NBA Draft itself, where dreams are made, and every tall guy in a suit could plausibly be the next big thing.
