#3, Stephen Curry
During the preseason game between the Spurs and Golden State Warriors, Wembanyama and Stephen Curry were head-to-head in the tip-off. The tip-off moment was uploaded by Warriors on NBC Sports via X.
#2, Thomas Bryant
Against the Miami Heat in the preseason, Victor Wembanyama had the hops and the height to dunk the ball ferociously over the outstretched arms of Thomas Bryant. Besides the jump and the height, the wingspan was incredible to see happen live with Bryant listed at 6-foot-10 playing the center position.
#1, Rudy Gobert
Alongside fellow French player Rudy Gobert, Victor Wembanyama still remained taller than the 7-foot-1 Timberwolves center. The footage was uploaded by the Washington Post's Ben Golliver via X.
According to a 2022 Basket News article, Gobert talked about the moment between him and Wembanyama.
"It doesn't happen a lot," Gobert said. "It was great. I'm used to being the one looking from up above. It's unusual for me, but it happens. I've seen Boban (Marjanovic) and Tacko (Fall) a few times. It makes me feel like a normal person."
From these five NBA personalities, it's safe to say that the league is set to see more moments and interactions of Victor Wembanyama showcasing just how incredible his height is.
