Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama continues to go viral in pictures just for standing next to people.

The 7’4” center towers over nearly anyone he stands next to, so the pictures automatically appear funny to look at. Most recently, a photo of Warriors guard Chris Paul standing on his tiptoes standing next to the Frenchman went viral.

Wembanyama was recently interviewed by ESPN’s Malika Andrews, who stands nearly two feet shorter than the No. 1 NBA draft pick. Andrews posted a picture of the two standing next to each other, and although it appears the NBA Today host is wearing heels, she still doesn’t reach Wembanyama’s shoulder height.

It’s likely that photos of Wembanyama standing by other NBA players or personalities will go viral throughout his rookie season. He is one of the tallest active NBA players.

The rookie will make his NBA debut on Wednesday, Oct. 25 when the Spurs travel to play the Mavericks.
