“This is how I felt as a 5’9 eighth grader playing church league hoops,” one fan tweeted, humorously relating to the stark difference.
“Are these creatures the same species? Or is this like different breeds of dog, like a corgi and a Doberman,” another tweet read, comparing the players’ heights to different breeds of dogs.
“I need to see two gymnasts standing on each other’s shoulders next to Wemby asap,” another fan tweeted, emphasizing the incredible height of Wembanyama.
