Viral Photo of Victor Wembanyama at Paris Olympics Showcases His Astonishing Height

If you're a fan of basketball in the United States or in France, then you are well aware of who Victor Wembanyama is, and the freakish abilities that he brings to the table.

The Frenchman and second-year center for the San Antonio Spurs stands at 7-foot-4 but possesses the agility and shooting abilities of a guard. He wears a size 20.5 shoes and an 8-foot wingspan that allows him to block shots like Shaquille O'Neal in his prime. But get him in the open court, and he's gliding to the rim like Giannis Antetokounmpo.

If you're a fan of the NBA, then you know this already.

If you're simply tuning into the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris this year, then you might learn it pretty quickly.

During Tuesday's game between France and Japan, a photo of Wembanyama started going viral that shows how magnificent his height is in reality. Standing next to Japan's Yuki Togashi, who is just 5-foot-6, it is astonishing.

Of course, these hilarious images sparked quite an outpouring of jokes on social media once fans saw them. Here are some of the reactions that we liked on Tuesday afternoon.

Just a truly incredible sport that allows these two to match up against each other, and a truly beautiful thing that the Olympics are to give us this on a world stage.
