Victor Wembanyama rides the New York City subway

The basketplayer expected to be the first round draft pick for the NBA rode the subway in NYC Tuesday.

Getting ready for them big ol women of San Antonio.

Man it must be hard on the neck to be this tall.

[yoshikigrg]

Believe it or not, he was walking on his knees this entire time.

[kairo]

There's no point in having a bodyguard if anyone wants him harmed. He is a walking target 🤣

[Jupe]

It must be embarrassing to ride the subway and everyone take their cellphone to snap a picture and there is no where to escape but to stand still the entire ride. My gosh, if that was me, I would turn around and face the wall.

He’s already a superstar, that’s not enough he’s 7’5, handsome, and already beloved. I really hope he fulfills his potential.

[dillonm]

If he thinks his neck pain is bad from being so tall
...
wait till he starts feeling his back pain from carrying the league

[markortiz]

Ok New York. Don't get too comfortable with our big man. He's got a whole lot of people in San Antonio who want him home already. 😁

[chansaechao]

I saw the thumbnail and laughed out loud. Thanks for the humor! 😁

[zachlidl]

Imagine if he rode the DC metro - much shorter ceilings, probably about 6'4" near the doors

Bought my first jersey ever of Wemby, don’t love basketball too much but I love wemby

[nysaxman]

It's "up to Yankee Stadium". Not down.

[FamilyBC-jo]

he never riding the NYC subway again lol

[topgrain]

I stood next to a 7-footer a few years ago. It's hard to describe how freakishly unreal it felt, so I can imagine how standing next to Victor Wembanyama would feel.

[O]

#WEMBY is in USA now !!! be ready #NBA this guy have no limits for his talent

[Iceman-gmfu]

I don't envy him. the world wasn't built for someone like him.

[aboogiewithdahoodie]

I wonder if it is even a comfortable life being that tall. This world is made for people around 5'7, everything is sized as such.

[MarkMiller]

That looks like a 3rd world train station

[outlaw]

that subway interior roof probably aint been cleaned last since the 90s >_<

What you mean stick to basketball? He’s allowed to do whatever he wants it’s his life experience and you stick to yours.
