Actually most stars are red dwarfs, which are about half the size of the Sun. Sure, there are plenty of stars way bigger, but our Sun is still larger than the majority. (Although perhaps it's different when it comes to stars visible with the naked eye, given that larger stars are far brighter. I'm not entirely sure.)

Visible stars are mostly bigger than the sun. Red dwarves tend to be too dim to see without equipment.
