Victor Wembanyama told Connor Bedard he was as tall as him at a mind-blowing young age

Victor Wembanyama was unbelievably tall at a very young age.

By now, you know just how tall Victor Wembanyama is as an adult. The San Antonio Spurs’ No. 1 overall pick is listed at 7-foot-4 on the team website, and sometimes it looks like he dwarfs already giant NBA players every time he steps on a court.

But you simply won’t believe how tall he was even as a child.

In a snippet of a conversation with the Chicago Blackhawks’ No. 1 overall pick Connor Bedard, he asked Wembanyama to tell him when he was as tall as his currently listed 5-foot-10. After some pondering and math done on the fly, Wembanyama settled on the age of … nine.

NINE.

The average American adult male is 5-foot-9, and Wembanyama was taller than before he was even 10 years old. Just wow.

I can’t even remember when I was last 5-foot-10 and still growing. Meanwhile, Wembanyama added 16 more inches and became an NBA phenom. This is somehow so humbling and mind-blowing at the same time.
