Miniature film star Verne Troyer could be set to line up with basketball's biggest star.

Hollywood chiefs have written a script about the Yankee sport in which 7ft 5in Yao Ming will coach the 2ft 8in Austin Powers star, according to the Daily Star.

Yao Ming is at least 5 inches taller than all of his Houston Rockets team-mates and is set to become the next biggest thing in the NBA after legend Michael Jordan gave him the thumbs up.

Yao Ming's 19-size trainers are big enough for Mini-Me to comfortably sit in.

The script has been sent to Houston for approval as producers hope to create a Twins style hit, in which portly Danny DeVito teamed up with Arnie to play brothers.
