"Holy sh*t!" - Victor Wembanyama stuns Kevin Hart with weight gain update since rookie year

Victor Wembanyama had a memorable offseason, from visiting monks in China to working out with legends like Hakeem Olajuwon and Kevin Garnett. Wembanyama also gained around 30 pounds of muscle, stunning comedian and actor Kevin Hart on his show.

Speaking on Hart's "Cold as Balls" show back in June at Fanatics Fest, the "Borderlands" star asked Wemby if he had gained weight. The San Antonio Spurs superstar calmly said that he probably added 30 pounds to his 7-foot-5 frame this past summer.

"Holy sh*t!" Hart said. "30? Holy sh*t"

The info was already leaked back in the offseason, when a clip from the episode filmed by a fan was uploaded on social media. The full episode was only released on Tuesday, four months after it was filmed in New York City.

Victor Wembanyama's weight gain was also made official by the San Antonio Spurs. The franchise upgraded his weight from 210 pounds as a rookie to 232 pounds entering his third season in the league. His height was also adjusted from 7-foot-3 to 7-foot-5.

Brian Windhorst thinks Victor Wembanyama is 7-foot-7

While NBA fans are still getting over Victor Wembanyama being officially 7-foot-5, ESPN's Brian Windhorst dropped a bombshell on "NBA Today." Windhorst told guest analyst Boban Marjanovic that Wembanyama might actually be 7-foot-7.

"He was listed at 7'3" as a rookie, but that was a lie," Windhorst said. "He was not 7'3. I believe he was actually about 7'5. He's now listed at 7'5". Boban, I think he might be approaching 7'7" unofficially."

If Wembanyama is indeed 7-foot-7, he's tied with Gheorghe Muresan and Manute Bol as the tallest players in NBA history. Muresan played six seasons in the league from 1993 to 2000, with his career plagued by injuries. Bol, on the other hand, had a 10-year career from 1985 to 1995.

Victor Wembanyama describes deep vein thrombosis diagnosis as traumatic

Despite being cleared of his deep vein thrombosis diagnosis this offseason, it took a toll on Victor Wembanyama physically and mentally. Wembanyama called it a traumatic experience in an interview with ESPN's Michael C. Wright.

"The traumatic experience is very much linked to all the stuff I've done in the summer," Wembanyama said. "Spending so much time in hospitals, around doctors and hearing more bad news that I wish I hadn't heard, of course, it is traumatic. But in the long run, I think it's going to be very beneficial."

Wembanyama has looked phenomenal in the preseason, averaging 17.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.5 blocks in 19 minutes per game. He's also shooting 62.9%, including 44.4% from beyond the arc.
