Deandre Jordan -- I'm Almost as Tall as My Christmas Tree

exclusive

Clippers center Deandre Jordan faced off with an 11 foot beast this week in Los Angeles ... but instead of guarding it, he had it delivered to his home.

Jordan hit up Mr. Jingles Christmas Trees in Beverly Hills to pick up an 11 ft. noble fir for $300 ... and left a fat tip when they dropped it off at his house.

The best part -- Deandre posed for a pic at the X-mas lot and looked almost as tall as his tree!

Guess he won't have a problem putting the star on.
