Zaza Pachulia had a unique problem when the Warriors won the Western Conference finals — he couldn’t find a hat big enough to fit his massive head. Stephen Curry was in the middle of an interview on SportsCenter and got to witness it all unfold.
Zaza Pachulia’s head is too damn big for this poor hat

Scott Van Pelt: I see you laughing. I’m guessing this is a joke you all make with him from time to time.
Steph Curry: From time to time. I don’t know if it was the hat not fitting or that terrible popped collar, Euro look — but either one, we had to rag on him a little bit. They didn’t make the hat in Zaza’s size. Hopefully they can get that fixed if we win the finals and they can get a bigger hat for him if we get four more wins.
In an effort to determine just how big Zaza’s head is, I took photos of Pachulia and Curry from the Warriors’ media day and superimposed them over each other.
I shrunk Pachulia’s shoulders to as close to Steph’s proportions as possible — and we still have a head roughly 1.5 times the size of Curry’s. That is a seriously big head! Hopefully Zaza will one day find a hat that fits him.
