Kylian Mbappe stands out as one of the most exceptional athletes worldwide, but he encountered the uncommon situation of being overshadowed by another exceptionally talented star.
Kylian Mbappe might be experiencing some neck discomfort this morning following his encounter with NBA’s top prospect, Victor Wembanyama.
Standing at a height of 5ft 10in, the Paris Saint-Germain superstar isn’t the tallest among footballers, but he’s certainly not someone who would struggle to ride the big roller coasters at theme parks. However, the World Cup winner may have been reminded of his preschool days when he met the towering Metropolitans 92 star.
Wembanyama, a fellow Parisian, is positioned to make a significant impact in the world of basketball. He has been praised as one of the most exceptional young prospects in NBA draft lottery history. Given his impressive height, it’s evident why there are high expectations resting on his shoulders within the NBA community.
The French center stands at an impressive height of 7ft 5in, surpassing most players both figuratively and literally. If you need further evidence of Wembanyama’s towering stature, take a look at his encounter with Mbappe.
“One fan jokingly remarked on social media, ‘What is that height?’ Another comment read, ‘Mbappe linked up with the Eiffel Tower,’ capturing the astonishment at Wembanyama’s towering presence.”
A third person joined in, saying, “Neck-straining after a two-minute conversation,” while a fourth commenter wrote, “Mbappe truly admiring someone.” One fan also expressed empathy for the person capturing the unforgettable exchange, tweeting, “The cameraman had to move back 20 big steps to fit them both in a picture.”
“Kylian Mbappe is one of the most prominent stars in the world, and he appears so ordinary and regular compared to Wembanyama,” chuckled another individual. Wembanyama is highly esteemed and is easily considered the top pick in the NBA draft lottery, indicating his potential for greatness.
Wembanyama is scheduled to join the San Antonio Spurs in the upcoming NBA draft on June 22. He has even earned the respect of LeBron James, the superstar of the LA Lakers and a giant in the NBA, who described Wembanyama as less of a “unicorn” and more like an “alien.”
James expressed, “No one has ever witnessed someone as tall as he is, and as fluid and graceful as he is on the floor. He is undoubtedly a talent of his generation.”
