    A photo of NBA rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama, representing the France men's basketball national team at the Olympics, has gone viral on social media.

    The image, which emerged from Tuesday's matchup between France and Japan in the Group B preliminary round, showcases Wembanyama's ridiculous size.

    In the viral photo, Wembanyama, towering at 7-foot-4 inches, is seen next to Japanese point guard Yuki Togashi, who stands at just 5-foot-4.

    The striking difference in their heights has captivated basketball fans all around the world, with the photo already amassing millions of views online.

    While Wembanyama's height was well-known thanks to his standout rookie season in the NBA, seeing it highlighted on an international stage has left many in awe.

    "THIS DOESN'T EVEN LOOK REAL," said one fan.

    "This picture looks scary," said another.

    "I'm sure he'll be able to defend Wemby just fine," another added jokingly.

    The image has even drawn comparisons to a famous photo of NBA legends Manute Bol and Muggsy Bogues, emphasizing the dramatic difference in height between the two players.

    Basketball fans have always known that players of different sizes impact the game in their own unique ways.
