"6 more months they’ll be saying he's 11 feet" - Fans shocked as insider claims Victor Wembanyama could be 7'7 after Boban Marjanovic admission

Victor Wembanyama didn't just add muscles in the offseason, but he apparently grew taller. Former NBA player Boban Marjanovic confirmed that the San Antonio Spurs star is taller than he is, while NBA insider Brian Windhorst took it a step further. The comments led to social media freaking out over Wemby's continuous physical growth.

Marjanovic is officially listed as 7-foot-4, but he told ESPN's "NBA Today" that he was looking up at Wembanyama when they met. He doesn't believe the star's first listed height of 7-foot-3. The Spurs caved in to the suspicions and listed him as 7-foot-5 to start the season, bumping his weight to 235 pounds as well.

Windhorst thought that Wembanyama was around 7-foot-5 when he entered the NBA, and he's probably approaching the height of 7-foot-7. There are only two players in history to be at that height: Gheorghe Muresan and Manute Bol.

"He was listed at 7'3" as a rookie, but that was a lie," Windhorst said. "He was not 7'3. I believe he was actually about 7'5. He's now listed at 7'5. Boban, I think he might be approaching 7'7" unofficially."

At just 21 years old, Victor Wembanyama might not be done growing. Fans are in disbelief about Wembanyama's possible true height. Some joked about it, while others are in awe at how physically gifted the 7-foot-5 big man is.

Here are some of the comments.

While there are fears about Victor Wembanyama's health due to the history of other players his size, the San Antonio Spurs have assembled the best team to take care of him. Wembanyama has also developed a routine to keep his flexibility and strength at a maximum.

At 40 years old, LeBron James is still the face of the NBA. He's closer to retirement than ever, and there seems to be no heir apparent for him to take the league to the next level.

Zion Williamson was initially touted to be the next face, but he's too injury-prone. Anthony Edwards has all the qualities on the court, but he's off-the-court stuff might not be suited for press relations.

Speaking on Kevin Hart's "Cold as Balls" show, Victor Wembanyama believes he could be the next face of the NBA.

"Of course, and I think eventually there's just one face of the NBA," Wembanyama said. "It's definitely there, yes."

If Wemby can stay healthy for the majority of his career, there's no denying that he could lead the next generation of NBA players.
