If you’re 5’3” like me — or heck, even a healthy 6 feet tall — you’ve probably often wondered what it’s like to be an NBA player, where being 6’6” is merely average, and it (seemingly) doesn’t take too much effort to dunk on a 10-foot basket. But even for NBA players there are outliers, and Spurs rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama, who is officially listed at 7’3.5” with a wing span of 8 feet, is one such player.
At some point earlier this year while he was still playing for Mets 92 in France, he wore some sort of device that showed the basketball court from his point of view, and it sure feels — small.
