We know that Victor Wembanyama is a tall man, but it’s still always astonishing to see just how tall he is compared to many of his fellow NBA players.
The 20-year-old center is listed at 7-foot-4, and he looks even bigger than that when standing next to smaller players. Take a look at how big he is compared to new San Antonio Spurs point guard Chris Paul, who is 6-feet tall.

Wemby is a full neck, head and shoulders taller than CP3, who only comes up to the center’s chest.
We know just how big Wembanyama is, but it’s still wild to see him standing next to his teammates and making them look like they’re junior players.
Wembanyama is entering his second NBA season. He won Rookie of the Year last season and led the league with 3.6 blocks per game, which helped him earn first-team All-Defense honors. The 39-year-old Paul is entering his 20th season in the league.
