NBA Fans Astonished as Victor Wembanyama Towers Over Soccer Star Kylian Mbappe. In a viral video, NBA fans were left speechless when they saw 19-year-old French basketball prоspect Victor Wembanyama standing next to soccer star Kylian Mbappe. Wembanyama, who measures an impressive 7 feet 5 inches, completely dwarfed the Paris Saint-Germain striker.

The two athletes met prior to the NBA Draft lottery, with Mbappe barely reaching Wembanyama’s chest in height. While Mbappe, standing at 5 feet 10 inches, is renowned for his lightning-fast pace on the soccer field, he could only look up in awe as he stood next to Wembanyama.

The official Ligue 1 soccer account captured the moment as the pair shook hands and posed for pictures. They captioned the photo, “French Excellence.”

Fans quickly flooded the comments section, expressing their astonishment at the stark size difference between the two sportsmen. One fan exclaimed, “This is ridiculous!” Another commented, “They look like two different species! This is crаzy.”

Wembanyama, who is projected to be the top overall pick in the upcoming NBA Draft, is regarded as a generational talent in basketball. Despite his towering height, he possesses exceptional speed and athleticism, making him a potential superstar in the NBA. With an impressive wingspan of 8 feet, Wembanyama’s physical attributes set him apart.

Following the NBA Draft lottery, it was announced that Wembanyama is set to join the San Antonio Spurs as the No. 1 pick. His performance in the French league this season has been outstanding, averaging 21.6 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game.
