Victor Wembanyama Stands Tallest In Photo Spurs Legends. Internet Says, 'Can't Be...'

French basketball phenom Victor Wembanyama is officially listed at 7-foot-3 on the San Antonio Spurs roster, tied for the second-tallest player in the National Basketball League (NBA) alongside Bol Bol of the Phoenix Suns. Only Zach Edey of the Memphis Grizzlies, at 7-foot-4, stands taller. Still, it’s hard to grasp just how towering Wembanyama really is, until he’s standing next to a couple of Hall of Famers.

That’s exactly what happened on Wednesday (April 30), when the Spurs celebrated their latest Rookie of the Year winner, Stephon Castle. With Castle joining Wembanyama (2023-24), Tim Duncan (1997-98), and David Robinson (1989-90), the franchise now boasts four Rookie of the Year honorees. Naturally, a group photo followed—and it left fans stunned.

In the pic, Wembanyama stands beside Tim Duncan (6-foot-11) and David Robinson (7-foot-1), yet somehow appears to dwarf them both. The striking visual sent social media into a frenzy.

Fans viewing the post on X/Twitter were stunned by the view.

One fan said: ok Wemby gotta be like 7’6 then

another fan responded: "is wemby 8 feet tall?!!?"

Another netizen tweeted: Are Duncan and Robinson shrinking or is Wemby growing?

Another asserted, "Victor can't be just 7'4." (Again, he's listed at 7-foot-3.)

Said another: "Wemby makes Timmy look like a 6’3 point guard."

Still another: "Insane that Wemby makes Centers look like wing players next to him."

The buzz comes as the Spurs look ahead to the 2025 NBA Draft. With Wembanyama sidelined in February due to a blood clot, San Antonio finished 34-48—earning just a 6.0% chance at the top pick in the lottery. But if they land it, they could add another top-tier rookie to their ranks. Duke’s Cooper Flagg is the presumed No. 1 pick and early favorite for next season’s Rookie of the Year.
