Victor Wembanyama showcases remarkable athletic prowess on the basketball court that sets him apart from his peers. Interestingly, this Frenchman also demonstrates an unparalleled knack for Halloween costumes.
When Wembanyama’s San Antonio Spurs faced off against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday, the rookie made a grand entrance at the Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona. He donned a flawless Slender Man costume.

Slender Man, a fictional horror character that gained internet fame in the early 2010s, is notorious for his featureless face and disproportionately elongated limbs.
Wembanyama concealed his face with a white mask, adhering faithfully to the costume’s requirements. However, despite the concealment, there was no mistaking the person behind the disguise, and for a good reason:
Only this Spurs rookie possesses the astonishing proportions necessary to convincingly embody the character. Standing at a towering 7’4″ with an 8-foot wingspan, Wembanyama is perhaps the closest human being on Earth to matching Slender Man’s eerie dimensions.
Wembanyama’s physical attributes are equally nightmarish for his opponents on the basketball court. His extraordinary skills have even left some NBA players in awe during actual games.
While Wembanyama may appear terrifying as the Slender Man, his potential in the NBA could be even more daunting.
