The inevitable picture between the two was just as good as promised.
Smith, who turns 16 today, is part of the USA gymnastic team – although she is a reserve – and stands at a pint-sized 4ft 6in.
28-year-old Jordan, inevitably, plays for the all-powerful men’s basketball team and is 6ft 11in – a whopping two and a half feet taller than the teenager.
The results are as hilarious and wonderful as you might imagine.
A couple of days earlier Smith had posted another picture on her Instagram account, as she stood alongside two volleyball players.
But standing next to Jordan, who is a NBA star with the Los Angeles Clippers, the results are even more of a shock.
Smith is in training but will only compete at the Games if one of her team-mates is injured.
Anything less than a dominant gold medal for Jordan, who was one of three players who’accidentally’ visited a brothel, and his basketball team will be seen as an utter failure Stateside.
The team, unbeaten in 17 Olympic matches stretching back to 2004, opened their campaign with a dominant 57-point win over China.
