From the start of his career, Victor Wembanyama has created numerous unforgettable moments on the court. Most revolved around jaw-dropping blocks, thunderous dunks, or other spectacular plays. Yet, on a recent Sunday night, a new one emerged—rookie Jalen Pickett from the Denver Nuggets crossed paths with Wemby for the first time and was left starstruck after their handshake.
Pickett’s reaction spoke volumes in the aftermath of their brief interaction. He couldn’t contain himself, instantly raving to his teammate about the sheer size of Wemby’s hands. It was a gentle reminder of Victor’s extraterrestrial stature, with his towering presence and an astonishing 8-foot wingspan.
