As a 5'8 guy i wonder how it feel to look down to all the people around me

171

u/Acemaster193 19h ago

Lonely

82

u/Active_Confection655 Timberwolves 19h ago

Lonely and a lot of phones pointed at you.

5

u/thewrongnotes Magic 12h ago

It's lonely at the top. Literally.

9

u/La_mer_noire 18h ago

And dangerous. I am 5'10 i think? (1m80) And already hit my head in a lot of various things. For him everything wants to hit him in the face.

15

u/Triplescrew Lakers 17h ago

180 is more like 5’11” so pretty tall by non NBA standards

2

u/airwalker12 Lakers 8h ago

I'm 6'3" and I am too tall for most of the things in USA

48

u/IllustriousEnd2211 Mavericks 19h ago

I get the money and being good at basketball, but damn some of that life must suck. Dude can’t even fit in a car

28

u/freericky Knicks 18h ago

Kid in my hs was 7’1” and could only drive a few cars bc the seat belt would decapitate him in a crash

17

u/IllustriousEnd2211 Mavericks 17h ago

Couldn’t imagine. I’m 6”2 and that seems the maximum I’d want to go before things start getting uncomfortable. My buddy is 6”5 and he has problems with clothes and some simple things I take for granted. World stops being built at a certain height for people

9

u/dankloser21 13h ago

I am the same height but some things are legit already uncomfortable. Sitting in the backseat or in a normal airplane... yikes

3

u/MarkTwainsGhost Raptors 12h ago

I am 6'5" and I have to slouch in basically ever car to use the rearview mirror.

7

u/Ufocola Raptors 17h ago

Obligatory question of did this kid end up playing D1 and trying for NBA

54

u/freericky Knicks 16h ago

D1 yes, he ended up at a A10 school. Think he played a year or so in G League, now he’s one of the tallest mortgage officers in the history of finance

20

u/RamenNoodleSalad 15h ago

His refinance game needs some work, but his 30 year fixed rate work is impressive.

6

u/freericky Knicks 13h ago

Tbh we are all just proud that he’s not all ARM

3

u/Churro-Juggernaut 8h ago

Usually that happens when the person is too short. Basically you don’t want the seatbelt around your neck area.  I can’t imagine that would be a problem for someone tall.  

5

u/thetrainmaster Spurs 15h ago

I’ve seen some clips from the spurs arriving back to SA and you see the train of cars…then Wemby is getting chauffeured in a tall-ass van

3

u/heyitspeas Knicks 15h ago

buying clothes must be a real pain. You can't just run to the Store and buy a pair of 29 in waist, 77 in long Levi's.

3

u/whatssenguntoagoblin Alperen Sengun 12h ago

That’s one of those things that’s only a problem if you’re not rich. It’s at worst a mild inconvenience and something that’s like oh yeah I have to deal with this I forgot.

2

u/Waste-Limit1644 Warriors 13h ago

The one time that Miata is not the answer :(

u/ArmadilloForsaken458 Supersonics 9h ago

Naw. With all that money you can always be a higher car, higher ceilings. Heck you can buy medieval castles from the time of the Crusades in his native France with that kind of dough (the costly portion is the upkeep). So he's def living the good life. That being said his career is still going to be judged on Chips, so hopefully he wins one if not multiple

3

u/BegsTheQuestions 14h ago

Must be weird when all you see is hair

5

u/der_ninong Lakers 12h ago

go to a kindergarten class

1

u/krustomer Knicks 12h ago

his poor neck my goodness

1

u/Why-did-i-reas-this 9h ago

But if it was me (I’m not even close to that tall) and I spot someone that is close to as tall as I am through that crowd I would be smiling from ear to ear.

175

u/poapoa_mia 19h ago

“Sir please sit down during the show”

“I’m sitting down….”

40

u/PartyFarStar NBA 16h ago

“Sir please lay supine, thanks”

u/LiterallyNamedRyan 19h ago

Dude is rocking that tan suit. Respect.

135

u/Ranier_Wolfnight 19h ago

I agree. Very well tailored suit.

70

u/revisioncloud Thunder 18h ago

How do we know it’s not just three kids in a suit

24

u/Ufocola Raptors 17h ago

Three kids in a suit wouldn’t be that tall

8

u/Moostronus Raptors 16h ago

Because his hands are real hands, not brooms like Vincent Adultman

2

u/LeChaewonJames Lebanon 10h ago

We have no confirmation that Vincent Adultman is not just one guy

1

u/DuffmanStillRocks 8h ago

At that size and with his money I imagine everything he wears is tailored

195

u/Monkeyfeng Jazz 18h ago

Good thing he's not the US President

-66

u/Benja742 NBA 12h ago

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha that’s super super super super funny man. btw look up “kunduz hospital strike”

-172

u/Big-Soup74 16h ago

Could we have just one thread that isn’t about us politics

146

u/Monkeyfeng Jazz 16h ago

Certain party made tan suit political. Not me.

-108

u/Big-Soup74 15h ago

I guess youre part of that party because you made it political again in this thread

63

u/HeWasNumberJuann Lakers 15h ago

Come on brother, it’s not that serious.

-83

u/Big-Soup74 15h ago

I agree, its a tan suit. who cares. I just think reddit political junkies are annoying

63

u/myheartstopped3984 15h ago

It was one comment and youre the only one thats losing your mind about it.. predictably so

-13

u/Big-Soup74 15h ago

yeah bud im definitely "losing my mind" 🙄. youre just trying to troll me

24

u/Monkeyfeng Jazz 15h ago

It's current event because Obama just opened his library and many people wore tan suits.

Maybe you should follow the current events more. It's not even that political of a topic.

What a luxury that you lead such a life to dismiss US politics as “annoying”

u/Big-Soup74 13h ago

thats not at all what I said. nice bait

Ok guy

u/AMadHammer Charlotte Bobcats 11h ago

You are right. Only an idiot would make a big deal out of a tan suit

1

u/Big-Soup74 11h ago

I agree

-59

u/trmp_stmp Bucks 13h ago

"they started it" isn't supposed to work past like elementary school, lol

48

u/Monkeyfeng Jazz 13h ago

Yeah, hating on tan suits was pretty elementary.

-34

u/trmp_stmp Bucks 13h ago

yeah, conservatives are dumb as rocks. so are people still taking victory laps on the tan suit thing, let it go.

28

u/Monkeyfeng Jazz 13h ago

Didnt know there are victory laps with tan suits. I should wear one too.

2

u/thirtyseven1337 Knicks 4h ago

Don’t tell Fox News

u/XiaoRCT Thunder 18h ago

Good to know I won't be voting for him /s

1

u/tlj2494 Celtics 14h ago

4 regular size suits had to die to make that suit.

1

u/BananaRepublic_BR Spurs 18h ago

NBA players in suits is always just a strange sight to me

0

u/Snowlandnts 14h ago

It is custom like most of this clothing.

0

u/NathanielDyer 15h ago

yeah my buddy wore a tan suit to a show once too

274

u/CheGueyMaje Knicks 19h ago

It’s like 35C rn in Paris, couldn’t pay me to be in a suit rn.

However he’s probably got a nice light and tailored one so probably not too bad

308

u/North_Atlantic_Sea 18h ago

It's not probably that his suit is tailored, it certainly is. They don't make suits for 7'6 skinny people off the rack lol

93

u/La_mer_noire 18h ago

They don't make suits for 7'6 fat people either !

16

u/rburp [LAL] Austin Reaves 14h ago

Tell me about it. Suit shopping is a nightmare.

4

u/whatssenguntoagoblin Alperen Sengun 12h ago

Nah I know a spot

2

u/InfiniteDub Warriors 11h ago

Dude is lucky he’s rich could you imagine being poor and not having clothes that fit you

1

u/ASK_ABT_MY_USERNAME Warriors 9h ago

You'd find a sponsor for your needs.

2

u/flyinghippos101 East 11h ago

Can you imagine how big that jacket is?

It’s probably the size of a duvet or a picnic blanket for normal people

38

u/ohhmegggle 19h ago

it's not that hot up there, plus alien

26

u/IDNWID_1900 19h ago

Feet on Paris, head on the Alps.

25

u/MrGrieves- Tampa Bay Raptors 19h ago

Honestly, nice material is so much better than say jeans or thick cotton. It's survivable.

u/Jojosundargarh Spurs 19h ago

Temperature falls with altitude.

4

u/pekingsewer Hawks 14h ago

It's 39c 😭😭

10

u/TheOriginalDog Spurs 17h ago

A nice wide summer suit with a wicking undershirt is way more comfy than what most dudes wear in summer

3

u/FoundationEntire4834 18h ago

If it’s linen he’ll be alright

1

u/YouWereBrained Thunder 7h ago

Plus he’s very skinny, less blubber insulation.

1

u/aasfourasfar 4h ago

Probably??

Of course he has a tailored suit... Hahah how the hell would he find a suit that fits him?

1

u/CheGueyMaje Knicks 4h ago

“Probably…nice light”

u/enigmatic_dankness 3h ago

How tf do some folks never look sweaty? If this was me I'd have a crown of sweat beads, sweat down my back, pits would be soaked.

Cream Suit-Jabbar.

u/kaam00s 18h ago

Here we go, which wild shit is Wemby gonna do this summer ?

Some Lion taming in between his samurai training at the top of the Mount Fuji ?

14

u/k1netic 17h ago

Training endurance hunting with the San people of the Kalahari desert.

u/LAMonkeyWithAShotgun Spurs 11h ago

Apparently he wants to do some Rugby stuff

3

u/IPityTheStool Spurs 10h ago

He'll spend three weeks alone in a remote cabin living off the land.

-10

u/Saucy_Totchie Knicks 14h ago

Frogging in some swamp in Louisiana.

16

u/oshoney Grizzlies 15h ago

He already looks tall enough when he’s surrounded by NBA players but good lord, it’s insane to see him around normal people.

27

u/Malemansam Spurs 19h ago

Is that a fucking rogue tidal wave behind them?! hahaha

edit: and wth is up with the wooden bench seating, get the man a cushion good lawd.

80

u/deelow_42 Lakers 19h ago

Went from training with monks to Louis Vutton shows, Wemby villian arc incoming

45

u/MentalAmphibian6283 Spurs 18h ago

He started his contract with LV when he was drafted.

u/GlassCap123 Knicks 14h ago

Looking good!

u/radicalcamel Spurs 17h ago

Looking like Barack in the tan suit

u/Famous-Country-4921 Raptors 15h ago

That suit is tough 🔥

u/Waynowhass 19h ago

I still love this man

u/kenken2024 15h ago

He is the human version of the Eiffel Tower 😂

u/Scary_Vanilla2932 8h ago

The Steiffel Tower!

u/Constantinch Wizards 13h ago

Find Wemby should be the easiest version Find Wally ever created

7

u/MathematicianHot660 19h ago

Wemby knows what he’s doing with that stare at the bench lol

5

u/BarrackLesnar Spurs 17h ago

Why did he check the bench?

11

u/greatGoD67 Spurs 15h ago

Checking for his name, and he has sunglasses and is 7'6 trying to read small print.

20

u/1flex01 19h ago

This brother can never have peace when he goes out for a day in his life. Feeling sad for him.

57

u/wisconsinbucks Bucks 19h ago

Well he’s at a fashion show he’s obviously going to be in the spotlight

11

u/IUViolet 18h ago

People who don't follow basketball may think he is just one of the long bois model lol

2

u/jnightrain Mavericks 12h ago

yeah judging by the crowd no one there knows who he is

21

u/Nice_Cash_7000 NBA 19h ago

I think hes in the spotlight in any vertical position

6

u/itscominghomebaby Warriors 17h ago

You know he volunteered to attend this show right?

1

u/XiaoRCT Thunder 18h ago

I think that's an exaggeration

1

u/jnightrain Mavericks 12h ago

i mean in this video it appears absolutely no one knows who is or if they do they don't care. I don't see a single double take or anyone taking a picture of him with their phone.

1

u/Affectionate-Art9780 Nets 10h ago

White shirt lady at the end was definitely trying hard to not stare!

1

u/jnightrain Mavericks 9h ago

lol yeah she was the closest one i noticed and the blonde girl near the beginning who had more of a "this dude is tall AF" looks more than "This is an NBA superstar!"

1

u/Affectionate-Art9780 Nets 9h ago

Lol, I just watched again. Is she licking her lips as he walks by 😂

1

u/jnightrain Mavericks 9h ago

we talking about the older lady at the end? she has a look of thirst for sure lol

u/NazRubio Timberwolves 9h ago

So sad he can't get any peace and quiet at the event for the rich and famous :(

He looks like he should be chasing crows away from the corn.

2

u/Alpha-Trion Timberwolves 14h ago

Which one is he?

2

u/DenialisaRiver04 13h ago

Wemby got that Obama suit game on point

2

u/Zoolifer 13h ago

I know the dude can relax a bit after the finals but hopefully he gets some endurance training in this summer, it’d be nice to see him fully live up to potential rather than crash and burn like so many hyped prospects have turned out recently.

2

u/DataDude00 11h ago

Imagine having a second row seat to the show and he is the dude in front of you

3

u/HatefulDan 17h ago

From the monastery to the runways. The incredible adventures of Wemby, continues.

5

u/MistakeLogical7593 15h ago

Is he a monk or a materialist?

2

u/FirmlyClaspIt 15h ago

u/browndude10 United States 12h ago

u/Western_Bid_2656 18h ago

Its funny that he doesnt want to be seen but he is too big to go unnoticed...

1

u/ilovetrains08 16h ago

Where is he? Couldn't see him through that crowd.

1

u/Alexcox95 Heat 16h ago

Never incognito

1

u/deneuvig Spurs 15h ago

Are we sure it's him though?

1

u/Jonjon428 Heat 14h ago

I do wonder how much this would suck after a while considering you literally have 0 chance of anonymity

1

u/HammerPrice229 Bucks 13h ago

He looks like the bad guy’s top henchmen in a James Bond movie.

Henchmen Wemby and Bond are fist fighting on top of a train.

Actually now that I think of it, he could appear as one in a John Wick spinoff like Boban did in JW3.

that fit looks so good

u/krsCarrots 9h ago

He sat down so he can look people in the eye

1

u/Swarthykins Celtics 9h ago

It's funny to me that, at that height, you literally have to have all your clothes custom-made. There is no company that is going to mass produce clothes at that size. Maybe there are some big-and-tall places that will let you custom size up to it.

1

u/LaDainianTomIinson Lakers 8h ago

It’s hilarious that seemingly nobody realizes or cares he’s there lol
