After her appearance at the Tyson vs Paul fight last month, Sydney Thomas has been a familiar name in the sports industry. Rumors suggest that Sydney Thomas had an awkward exchange with a basketball player about her height.
Recently, Thomas posted a series of celebratory pictures for her 21st birthday, which received thousands of heartfelt comments from her fans. However, a statement from Zion Willamson caught most people’s eye.
The basketball player, who has been out of the field for at least two weeks due to a knee injury, decided to make his moves on the internet celebrity. The screenshot of his comment reads, “Check you’re DM shorty.“
After such remarks on her height, Sydney Thomas, who stands at 5 feet 8 inches, apparently responded and wrote, “Huh?? Who are you calling shorty? I’m good. Enjoy your recovery.“

Such a sarcastic response immediately gained traction among netizens as many began joking about Willamson’s failed advances.
Apart from the comment’s lack of demureness, many pointed out the basketball player’s obvious spelling error. Many added that he had fumbled his chances with the internet celebrity.
However, fans couldn’t find the comment on Thomas’ original post. They claimed they wanted to see Willamson ‘being cooked’ in real-time.
Later, NBA Centel, who uploaded the screenshots, revealed that the comments were manually generated for entertainment. Willamson hadn’t commented about Thompson or her height.
