One of the biggest continuous storylines around the 2023-2024 NBA campaign will be how Victor Wembanyama performs. Will he run away with the Rookie of the Year Award? Can he become an NBA all-star? Is he going to make an All-NBA team? These are just some of the questions that will be tossed around the 19-year-old's inaugural season. He certainly has all of the tools to do so. The NBA officially revealed that Wemby stands 7'3.5" tall and possesses an 8' wingspan! He also had a pretty fantastic preseason, so the hype is sky-high for the San Antonio Spurs youngster.
With all of this media attention and popularity, other stars across other industries are going to take notice of the kid. Drake is one of those celebrities and it comes as no surprise. The Toronto Raptors superfan is almost always courtside at their home games. He loves to ingratiate himself with the NBA players and he did the same with the number one overall draft pick over the summer.
Victor Wembanyama Shares A Photo Dump
In the photo collage above from Victor's Instagram, he shared some moments over this summer. He captioned the post, "Random dump before the serious stuff begins." The first photo is of him and Drizzy standing side by side. For context the average height of a man in the U.S. is 5'9" and the rapper is 6'0." That means Victor is roughly a foot and three inches taller than him. The athletic specimen's first game is on Wednesday at 9:30 ET. The Spurs take on their in-state rival, the Dallas Mavericks on ESPN.
