"[Wemby is] so high in the air. So when he talks trash, he sounds like he's whispering. He was like, 'Go back up. Go. You scared. You scared. You scared.'" GG Jackson on Victor Wembanyama 😅 (via @Matt_Infield)

In the world of basketball, height often translates into dominance on the court, but for Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs, it's not just about towering over others physically—it's about towering over them metaphorically too. Known for his exceptional height, Wembanyama's presence on the court is awe-inspiring, leaving opponents feeling like they're staring up at a skyscraper. However, it's not just his stature that sets him apart; it's his ability to back up his towering presence with skill and finesse.
GG Jackson, a Memphis Grizzlies player who's encountered Wembanyama's imposing figure on the court, humorously noted that the towering player's trash talk comes across more like whispers from the heavens. Even as Wembanyama asserts his dominance with words, his towering stature ironically renders them subdued, creating a unique dynamic on the court. Jackson recalls one instance where Wembanyama's trash talk, though delivered from on high, carried the weight of intimidation, leaving opponents feeling as if they were being chastised by a basketball deity. "Wemby is so high in the air. So when he talks trash, he sounds like he's whispering. He was like, 'Go back up. Go. You scared. You scared. You scared,'" reminisced Jackson, reflecting on the towering presence of Victor Wembanyama.
