Since Victor Vembanyama he appeared in public again, the craziest figures circling around his waist. Measured at 2m24, Boban Marjanović assured this week that ” Wemby » is however bigger than him. For his part, ESPN reporter Brian Windhorst went even further. Or rather higher.
“He was listed at 2m21 (7ft 3in) during his rookie season, but that was a lie,” he said. “I think he was actually around 2m26 (7ft 5in). He is now officially listed as 2m26, but I believe he might be closer to 2m31 (7ft 7in). »
The same comments from his colleague Kevin O’Connor. “Wemby is definitely close to 2m31 (7ft 7in). I hung out with Boban, Tacko Fall, these huge players. Wemby is bigger than all of them”, he believessupported by Bill Simmons: “Congratulations to the Spurs for finally admitting he’s 2m26. It’s small steps until everyone admits he’s actually 2m29. But at least we’re moving forward.”
Vembanjama is the NBA’s greatest player, tied with Zach Eddy
And on the Spurs side, it’s complete confusion. “None of us are up to it, so it’s just speculation.”jokes Mitch Johnson. “I have no idea. I’d have to get on the chair with the tape measure to check, but I know he’s taller than me. He’s just over 7ft, that’s for sure.”
In the end, the answer was given by Vemba himself. Interviewed this week by our colleagues at L’Equipehe explained that he was “7 feet 4 inches tall without shoes.” Or 2m24.
With shoes it gives 2m27, but the NBA decided not to give sizes with shoes anymore, and at the Draft combine, the league gives sizes with and without shoes.
The Frenchman is the greatest player in the NBA this season, tied with Zach Edey (2m24). They are in front Pain Pain (2m21) and Kristaps Porzingis (2m18). The latter measures in at 7ft 2in in the NBA, but is billed at 7ft 3in at the Euros. The famous difference of three centimeters with or without shoes.
