Having some deja vu here? You should.
It was back in October that a photo of Victor Wembanyama looking taller than his fellow French player Rudy Gobert went viral. That’s pretty hard to do, considering that the Minnesota Timberwolves big man is 7-foot-1.
But we now have a new photo and video of the two standing side-by-side, and yeah, it’s wild. Wemby definitely looks taller than Gobert. That means someday, when they match up against each other, NBA fans might want to see Wembanyama backing down Gobert because it’s a mismatch (I kid. Sort of.).
Check out the photos and videos, along with a video I saw of Wembanyama vs. Gobert a few years ago:
Even 7'1" Rudy Gobert looks average next to Wemby 😳
