“Makes him look like a child”- Fans mock Kylian Mbappe after his meet-up with 7’3 Victor Wembanyama during NBA draft lottery

The San Antonio Spurs won the NBA Draft Lottery on Tuesday night, earning the right to select Victor Wembanyama with the No. 1 overall pick. The French star linked up with another French football star Kylian Mbappe at Wembanyama’s final regular season game in France on Tuesday. The 5-foot-10 Mbappe and 7-foot-3 Wembanyama were spotted together afterward, showing just how tall the French phenom is.

The teenager will begin his career in Texas after the Spurs won the first pick; they will almost certainly select Wembanyama on Jun. 22 with the youngster considered one of the best NBA prospects of all time. Mbappe was in attendance to watch Wembanyama play for Metropolitans 92 in their final regular season game against Paris Basketball on Tuesday night.

Metropolitans won 93-85, with the top draft prospect scoring 22 points, grabbing nine rebounds, and swatting a joint-game-high two blocks over 26 minutes of action. He also shot 9-for-16 from the field in the win. Before the game tipped off, Mbappe was spotted arriving at Palais des Sports Marcel-Cerdan to watch his countryman play in the French capital for one of the last times before he makes his much-anticipated arrival to the NBA.

Kylian Mbappe is also a keen basketball fan and has previously attended NBA games, including in January when he was spotted at a Brooklyn Nets game alongside teammate Achraf Hakimi. It wouldn’t be surprising if he makes the trip to San Antonio to watch Victor Wembanyama in his rookie season next year.
