    Victor Wembanyama Goes Viral After Must-See Photo Next To The Shortest Player At Paris Olympics

    French phenom Victor Wembanyama led the France national team to an epic overtime victory over Japan, who entered the game as 18.5-point underdogs via DraftKings Sportsbook .

    However, one of the main comedic stories of the game had nothing to do with basketball and more to do with a must-see photo taken mid-game when Japan’s Yuki Togashi, who stands at 5-foot-4, was seen boxing out Wembanyama, who stands nearly two feet taller at 7-foot-4. Togashi is the smallest player at the Paris Olympics.

    On their home court, France nearly lost what would be the biggest upset to date in this year's Olympics, yet they found a way to win that more than likely punched their ticket into tournament play next week.
