Raptors forward O.G. Anunoby had a wholesome response when asked about having his shot blocked by Victor Wembanyama.
"He's too tall," Anunoby said while chuckling. "He's way too tall."
Anunoby is used to being one of the taller players on the court, standing at 6-7 with a 7-2 wingspan. Wembanyama just so happens to be the tallest player in the NBA currently. In fact, there aren't many players in the league's near 80-year history who are taller than San Antonio's rookie.
Before the 2023 NBA Draft, it wasn't clear how tall Wembanyama was exactly. He has since measured at 7-4 and 210 pounds with an 8-foot wingspan. Also, his hands are so big that a photo of him holding a baseball went viral and he wears a size 20.5 shoe.
It shouldn't come as a surprise, then, that a number of pictures have gone viral of Wembanyama making other NBA players look small. Here are some of the best.

Kevin Durant
Kevin Durant is listed at 6-11 and 240 pounds.
After facing Wembanyama for the second time, Durant said he doesn't see anyone else in his game.
“I know that we both skinny and I’m sure he said he watched me growing up, but he’s his own player,” Durant said. “I’m sure he’s watched so many great players in the league and tried to emulate just about everybody.
"There’s an enthusiasm for the game. You can tell that through the TV and playing against him. He’s his own player, person. He’s gonna create his own lane, much different than anybody who’s ever played. You can try to compare but he’s gonna carve out his own lane."
Grant Williams
Grant Williams is listed at 6-6 and 236 pounds.
Williams had some success defending Wembanyama with his physicality, but he still sees the potential.
“Give him two years and he will be a major problem," Williams said.
Kyrie Irving
Kyrie Irving is listed at 6-2 and 195 pounds.
Like Durant, Irving had high praise for Wembanyama after their first matchup.
"[He’s] deservedly so the number one pick ... It's been incredible to see some of his highlights," Irving said. "And I know Pop has a diamond in the rough over there. I think the whole Spurs organization knows it."
Reggie Miller
Reggie Miller is listed at 6-7 and 195 pounds.
Standing back to back, Miller's head is at Wembanyama's shoulders.

Jonathan Kuminga
Jonathan Kuminga is listed at 6-7 and 225 pounds.
Kuminga is on a short list of players who have been able to score on Wembanyama, but it took a whole lot of arc to do it.

Andrew Wiggins
Andrew Wiggins is listed at 6-7 and 197 pounds.
This photo of Wembanyama blocking Wiggins' 3-point attempt in a preseason game blew everyone's mind when it first happened:
Dillon Brooks
Dillon Brooks is listed at 6-6 and 225 pounds.
When asked about what it was like seeing Wembanyama in person the first time, Brooks gave the most Dillon Brooks answer possible.
"He's tall. That's really it."
Bonus: Tom Brady
No, he's not an NBA player, but NFL legend Tom Brady is a big human being compared to the average person, standing at 6-4 and 225 pounds.
"Usually I’d make some joke here about how I think I could get 10 and 10 against you, but let’s be real… you’d send my jumper into the club level 😂😂😂," Brady wrote about meeting Wembanyama on Instagram.
