Tom Brady posts 'real' photo with Victor Wembanyama

When Brady had dinner with the 7-foot-4 San Antonio Spurs rookie, a day before his first game against the New York Knicks, Wembanyama made "Touchdown Tom" look like Tiny Tim. Officially, Brady was listed at 6-foot-4 during his NFL career, but even with the extra height of his styled hair, the retired quarterback barely reaches Wemby's shoulder. Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin looked even smaller next to "Big Vic.

After the locker-room photo went viral, Brady went on X.com, posting a digitally altered photo of the encounter to jokingly correct the record.

Brady told media outlets to "disregard other photoshopped images of me and Vic" and provided a photo where he and Wembanyama look like they're the same height.

He's not the first great athlete to look relatively wee next to Wembanyama. Shortly after he was drafted, Wembanyama towered over two Spurs Hall of Famers, Tim Duncan and David Robinson — and they played a lot of center, not just lining up under center.

Wembanyama can also make inanimate objects look miniature, like the time he held a baseball at a Yankees game this summer.

The rookie told the San Antonio Express-News that he liked Brady's "vibe."

"It looks like he's just happy with the life he's got and just makes other people around happy," Wembanyama said.

Who knows what the two talked about at dinner? Perhaps Wembanyama will begin following the TB12 diet. Maybe he'll convince the Spurs staff to subtly deflate basketballs before home games. If Wembanyama and the Spurs make an improbable, last-second comeback to defeat the Knicks Wednesday night, we'll know that he's already learning from Brady.

Even if he is short.
