Victor Wembanyama made Chris Paul look like his adult son at Spurs media day

It’s like an NBA version of the movie ‘Twins.’

The NBA is in the midst of media days in the lead up to the 2024-24 season, giving us a chance to see players in new uniforms, rookies suit up for their headshots, and 39-year-old Chris Paul looking like the son that Victor Wembanyama brought to work.

It’s the biggest height discrepancy on the Spurs by a significant margin. Sure, everyone looks small next to Wemby but Paul stands right at six-foot, which has honestly always felt a little generous anyway.

The important thing in San Antonio isn’t how these guys match up height wise, but how the play will be — and to that end we could see some truly highlight lobs night after night. CP3 remains one of the best passers in the NBA even after all these years, and he fits a lot better into the Spurs lineup than he did with the Warriors last year.

It’s going to be a fun season.
