It's a 1/1, place your bids before it's too late!

There is actually an awesome, sick, 1/1 Wembanyama rookie card on eBay, with a photo of him dunking backwards, from the game he torched the Knicks for 40 points and 20 rebounds. The asking price for this is $4,250.

Also heard that he won NBA rookie of the year, and ran into this photo today, this is not photoshopped, he is a freak.

It's known as evolution.

100 years from now, basketball players may be as tall as giraffes.

The picture painted of basketball in one hundred years scared me enough to look this up. Interesting.

I'm 6 foot tall like right on the button. I recall in my younger days, I used to go to the movies, and normally when I was waiting in line with the rest of the folks to get in, I would tower over most of them or at least be somewhat taller.

The last time I went to a movie, it's been a while, but I did notice waiting in line, that the young folks had caught up to me in height, and in some cases a number of them towered over me.

@SanctionII might be interested in reading about how NBA players heights have evolved over these years, He has often projected now tall & athletic NBA players will be in the future.

Boston, Minnesota, Denver & Cleveland all have built their player rotation around long athletic defenders that know how to clamp down on offenses.

Wemby is great because he has the athleticism of a 6-4 guard in a 7-4 frame. SA is going to be able to play another center next to him. We've seen the evolution of great physical players getting taller over the years from Magic to Lebron to Durant to Giannis and now Wembanyama.
