Victor Wembanyama stood two feet (!) taller than an opponent on Japan during an Olympics victory

It isn’t exactly breaking news to report that Victor Wembanyama is very tall. But we were reminded yet again during the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Wembanyama, who probably stands somewhere around 7-foot-4, is the NBA’s reigning Rookie of the Year. He also stars for the host nation of France on their Olympic basketball team.

During group play for the French national team, Wembanyama had a thrilling matchup against Japan. While on the court, the Spurs big man briefly stood at close proximity to Japanese guard Yuki Togashi.
