NASA Johnson Space Center on Instagram : “Wemby checked in with the crew aboard the Space Station”
Bros gonna be the mediator when aliens invade
He is the Alien
He’s clearly mixed
jfc….mind immediately went to a Facehugger from Aliens latching onto Wemby lol
since it adapts to the host…the resulting Wembymorph might push 10 feet along with insane reach, speed, and mobility
Fuuuuck that shit!
I remember by highschool best friend would tell me about xenomorphs from humans, dogs, cows, and of course Predators
Xenomorph Predators (or Predator Xenomporphs?) seem like they would be rather problematic to dispose of.
Predalien, and yeah, definitely gonna wreck some serious shit…i hope we see more in any future crossovers down the track!
for sure would love to see a rhino or giraffe xeno…a great white shark would be nasty work!
That one from Romulus was freaky enough
the tongue!
more the reason why he should be the mediator
Son of Zeus kind of vibes.
He’s just phoning home
He came to the Great wall of China because it was the first thing he saw from space, now he trying to come back home like ET
Men In Black can confirm.
He looks exactly like how Belters are described in The Expanse books.
Reminds me of Avasarala and meeting a Belter in the torture room…
He’s doing side quests right before getting back to the main story in a couple months.
The main quest is the friends we made all along
He’s the one they sent to mediate with us
“They won’t notice he’s an alien if we make him play basketball” perfectly abusing our irrational devotion to sports athletes. European athlete that plays in NA in a sport with a huge Chinese audience?
Technically he’s already one of the closest to them
Why mediate? Iguodala is sending them home

The guy really decided to do all the side quests…
Videos are from NASA’s Johnson Space Center Instagram account
TBF I don’t blame him that’s cool as shit
His PR team is killing it 🤌
his “pr team” is him being the tallest genius who ever lived
He’s really just doing things he has interests in. He’s the anti ANT lol
I mean, ant is also just doing things that he’s interested in, he’s just interested in unprotected sex with supermodels
The bar has dropped quite a bit for super models apparently.
Is this same class of supermodels Tiger Woods was interested in ?
Tiger has a (crazy) white chick fetish so no
Man might be the golf GOAT but his taste in women is suspect to say the least especially given his latest choice
Me and Tiger had that same hunting ground
I mean supermodels is stretch but it’s at least a bit better than Zion
Lmao fair point. I don’t blame him either but damn he’s got so much to lose
What a loser!!!
I’m interested in that too but sometimes life and chronic unattractiveness to women gets in the way of pursuing your passions.
He’s living exactly how I would if I were him
You have an impressive level of motivation, then. I wouldn’t be able to follow through with half of it.
Eh, you have to remember that top athletes don’t do most things that drain a normal person: cooking, cleaning, paperwork, booking hotels/restaurants/flights, driving…
Gives you more energy to follow through with things that you’d want to enjoy.
I keep life full for sure
That’s so cool!
It’s a gift that keeps on giving seeing Wemby standing next to normal size humans.
He striaght up looks like he’s from another species when he does that. He’s just so fucking tall, and he’s all limbs, so the other people look even shorter.
The phone cord is barely long enough lmao
Jesus I thought the other guy was sitting before I read your comment
That guy next to him isn’t a normal sized human, that’s Deron Williams!
My dumbass thought the guy next to him was sitted until I read your comment
I don’t think I’ve ever loved a player so quickly as I have Wemby
He’s like LeBron, raised well and doesnt let fame get to him, but even better because he’s into all these weird nerdy things so reddit just has infinite content in the offseason
Was LeBron raised well?
He couldn’t even rely on his mom because of her addiction and slept at his coach’s house
As well as he possibly could from his circumstances? Yes. He actually got lucky with his coach. Not everyone is born into a perfect suburban family.
I’m not criticizing him at all. Just saying that Wemby and Bron’s circumstances are completely different.
Wemby was raised by 2 present parents at all points in his life.
Bron barely had 1
Lebron calls and called himself Chosen One and King James. How is that not letting fame get to you?
He’s doing a Forrest Gump run: from monk to astronaut.
Momma said life is like a box of chocolates, and Wemby is a Flake bar
(I don’t know what the US equivalent is, but a Flake bar is a chocolate log made up of thin chocolate flakes that melt really easily)
This is the tale, of Captain Jack Sparrow
A bit of Homer Simpson mixed in too.
Nice to see The Alien is introducing itself.
The Alien on earth introducing himself to the humans in space
Makes sense that Wemby would check in on them from time to time, see if they need anything since he can just hand them stuff from the roof of the Burj Khalifa.
As an alien, he probably has some useful expertise to offer them
If I could choose one life to live…
Being that tall can be a pain in your daily life though
Being a multi-millionaire pro ball athlete easily makes up for it. Everything is catered to your size(outside of public places) and you have the best access to whatever you need. If you’re a regular dude with a 9-5 is an entirely different matter however.
Won’t be riding Space Mountain, though.
Of course, 1 life to live though there are plenty of normal sized people born into that position. Shit they get that privilege from the moment they’re born without the struggle many athletes had until they turned pro, or at least went off to college.
Being a multimillionaire would take some of the sting off of it
I thought the other bloke was sitting on a chair lol
your comment taught me that he wasn’t 😳
Wemby is squeezing in a few more sidequests to get enough exp so he can level up.
all the cool shit you get to do! happy for the kid!
Wemby having the most amazing summer do side quest
wemby stop being cool please I can’t root for the spurs
Now that the warriors are leaving contention for awhile, it’ll be fun to root for someone like Wemby. Super cool dude with similar interests.
am i missing something but why is wemby touring these facilities around the world?
Cause he can, basically.
And because he seems genuinely interested.
It’s nice seeing the potentially future face of the league being so eager to do cool shit like this instead of staying at home all summer doing yet another unnecessary NBA player podcast.
Because with the blood clot and then choosing recovery/rehab over the Euros, this will hopefully (health permitting) be the longest break he has from basketball for 15+ years.
Sounds incredibly healthy (and I am certain would be encouraged from the Spurs,and also consistent with what we’ve heard about his parents, and Victor himself) to take the chance to explore your other interests, especially if you have the finances and opportunity to do so.
I see it as his version of a gap year, and expect it to become a really important part of his development.
Same as vacation tourism. Some will say they went to some foreign country( then spend the week at the lobby), others will go right out of the tourist area and do the local’s bucket list. Enjoying life, privileges and new perspective before getting back into the grind.
Plus it’s is very cool things to experience while he rests his body.
When I saw “Capcom” i thought, what does this have to do with Street Fighter.
He should definitely play dhalsim in the new movie!
Yoga FLAME!
Don’t make me hate Wemby
Sim is an asshole online
I love that Wemby is out there actually doing super cool things. Other players might be at clubs and getting strippers pregnant, yada yada yada and getting into financial trouble but Wemby has his head on right.
Strippers are pretty fun, unwanted pregnancies and financial trouble not so much
Type of shit you get to do when you have the resources and access of being a young NBA superstar and have other interests than popping bottles and banging instagram thots lol
Clearly he’s having some trouble contacting his home planet.
At 1st glance, I thought the other guy was sitting down. 2nd glance, it still looks like he is even when he isn’t.
He is sitting vertically, and you won’t convince me otherwise.
Where’s Wemby -
Next week he goes to Tahiti to dance on the beaches and eat the breadfruit, scuba dives and sits with local chieftain, gives away spurs jersey’s, then swims to new Zealand by himself with dolphins.
That’s so freaking cool, would love to that one day.
Wembanyama is having quite an offseason!
Real footage of NASA talking to an alien.
He could check in by going up on his tiptoes and leaning in the windows
For a sec i thought the guy beside him is sitting down
When you do all the side quests before beating the main game
He could just go in his tippy toes and talk to them face to face.
Probably the coolest off season of any player rn
Where in the World is Victor Wembanyama?
Damn this is too wholesome my icy heart is melting please save the goo in the jar.
Astronaut monk? Truly alien. 👨🏻🚀☯️👽
STOP MAKING ME LOVE YOU
His fingers.
A scene straight out of Men in Black
Holy shit I thought the dude STANDING next to him was sitting down. Fucking crazy.
et trying to phone home
Wemby going to go to space and grow 2 more inches next off season.
Men in Black real life
This guy has a lot of cool experiences. Good for him
Man, having a 24-hour cam on you at work has to kind of suck. No picking your nose or saying something stupid even once.
What, did he stand up?
This is so cool, imagine being those astronauts and an alien directly calls you on the line
NBA players have the best off season side quests of any professional sport
There needs to be a Wemby compilation of all of his side quests this summer
Bros doing every side quests
What record is Wemby referencing here, is he aiming for a career in space after basketball
Why Wemby not in the Eurobasket?
Because of his blood clot. He is cleared for basketball, but his camp chose to take more rest.
He was a late scratch. Didn’t recover in time to train properly
I’m really enjoying the Where’s Wemby tour this summer
I guarantee he tried to contact his buddies.
Good PR game, but does make me question why the rockets haven’t thought to do that
Have you seen the Rockets’ schedule release video? PR is clearly not their thing.
Almost has Rod Taylor vibes calming the space crew down in a The Simpsons.
Why is he talking to them on the phone when he can already reach up and give them a high five?
he gotta be healthy now with all the side quests he be doin this summer
Don’t know why he felt the need to call the astronauts when he could have just waved hello.
man wemby is such a cool fuckin guy
Is Josh giddy the predator in the space station?
And to think this all started because some guy approached Wemby at a discotheque and asked him if he’d like to get higher than he’d ever been before.
EDIT: It breaks my sad old heart that someone out there is downvoting a Simpsons reference.
I get the fact he’s a well regarded young athlete, but it is kinda crazy the dude is getting access to all this.
It’s not like he has a science background or anything.
publicity=better funding
I’m starting to not like Wetbanana
