One of the reasons why the San Antonio Spurs selected Victor Wembanyama was for his ridiculous height. Standing at an incredible 7’4″, Wemby can make blocks like nobody’s business and use his POV to find the open man for the easy dish.
However, since the NBA is a league of giant men, it’s easy to forget just how big of a man Wembanyama actually is. Since he’s playing with players who are also seven-footers, it can be easy to forget how freakish his height is.
A recently viral picture of Wemby with another NBA player should put things in perspective for everyone.
San Antonio Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama goes viral for recent picture with Brooklyn Nets’ Dennis Schroder
Creepy.org’s X (formerly Twitter) account doesn’t usually post anything that has to do with basketball. they usually focus on the supernatural and other mysterious things that have been caught on camera.
However, the image of Brooklyn Nets’ Dennis Schroder looking like a child while guarding The Extraterrestrial was too strange for even the page to ignore.

Fans quickly made jokes about the moment, with one trying to correct the page on what Schroder was actually guarding:
I’ve fixed it for you: Dennis Schröder guarding Victor Wembanyama’s legs.

Another quipped that Wembanyama won’t have a hard time interacting with animals at the local zoo:
Bro can feed giraffe with his hands 💀💀

Yet another fan called out Nets head coach Kevin Ollie for allowing such a picture to be taken:
What kind of coach has a 6’1 guard, guarding a 7’5 player with an 8ft wingspan ? 😭 pic.twitter.com/oimx8BCom8

Understandably, on-court actions will eventually lead the San Antonio Spurs big man to such favorable situations, but it doesn’t take away from the comedic value of the entire image.
Moreover, it’s important to remember that Schroder is taller than the average American male, who stands at 5’9″. If he looked like a child, the rest of us would be toddlers when placed next to the 7’4″ behemoth.
Victor Wembanyama is thriving in the NBA, putting up monstrous stats of 20.7 PPG, 10.4 RPG, 3.5 APG, and 3.5 BPG like nobody’s business.
This won’t be the last time Wemby will be in such a situation, but it will still take time for fans to get used to the sight.
