The San Antonio Spurs have reportedly measured Victor Wembanyama's height at 7 feet, 3 1/2 inches without shoes, contradicting previous estimates. A recent photo of Wembanyama standing between former Spurs players Sean Elliott and David Robinson suggests he may be even taller. Regardless of his exact height, Wembanyama's unique combination of size and skill makes him a formidable player and a challenge for opponents in the NBA.
The San Antonio Spurs have officially measured Victor Wembanyama's height at 7 feet, 3½ inches without shoes, making him potentially the second-tallest player in the NBA this season. Wembanyama's height has been a topic of speculation, with various sites listing him between 7-foot-2 and 7-foot-5. The NBA listed him at 7-4 in the draft guide, but that was not based on an official measurement. Wembanyama, who recently turned 19, has grown since his last measurement in October, and it's believed he may still have some growing left.
While Mount Everest is considered the tallest mountain in the world based on its elevation above sea level, other mountains such as Mauna Kea, Denali, and Mount Chimborazo have been argued to be taller based on different definitions of "tallest." Mauna Kea is the tallest from base to peak, but its underwater base disqualifies it from the competition. Denali, with its base situated on land, is roughly 3,000 feet taller than Everest when measured from base to peak. Mount Chimborazo's peak is farther from the center of the Earth than any other mountain, but it only reaches an elevation of 20,564 feet above sea level.
