Victor Wembanyama stunned fans with a hilarious viral video, showing off his soccer skills while towering over everyone on the pitch during the NBA offseason.
Victor Wembanyama, the NBA’s brightest young star, has gone viral for a very different reason—his hilarious appearance on a soccer pitch, where he looked like a giant among men.
The 21-year-old Frenchman, standing an astonishing 221 centimeters tall, posted a video showing himself playing football during the NBA offseason. As expected, Wembanyama was comically taller than everyone else on the field, drawing laughter and amazement across social media.
Known as ‘Wemby’, the San Antonio Spurs player possesses not only extraordinary height but also remarkable technical skills and long-range shooting—making him a rare talent even in basketball’s genetic lottery.
While Wembanyama’s Spurs are out of the playoff picture this season, the young Paris native has been enjoying his free time. A big Paris Saint-Germain fan, Wemby shares a love for football with teammate Jeremy Sochan, an Arsenal supporter from England.
The video quickly captured the imagination of fans. Rarely has the football world seen such towering figures—the tallest known professional was Simon Bloch Jorgensen, a 210-centimeter German goalkeeper who retired in 2022, still shorter than Wemby!
Wembanyama’s lighthearted clip reminded everyone: no matter how serious the sport, sometimes it’s just about having fun—and sometimes, the view is literally better from the top.
