[All-Access] Wemby arrives dressed as The Witcher ahead of the Spurs’ Halloween matchup
Well-known costumes like that make him look even more insane because you’re so used to how they look on normal frames
I just want to know how far in advance does one need to order a Geralt costume for someone that size haha
Most cosplay scenes would lose their minds over a commission like that and would have it done in a weekend. Even in San Antonio.
*especially in San Antonio
Hit up the San Antonio blerds
“Even in San Antonio” What does THAT mean
Its probably custom made by a cosplayer of some sort. It fits super well and is really well done.
This. Got a couple buddies who are reasonably well-known in the cosplay world. A few years ago, they got a PM from a Timberwolves player asking if they’d make his costume for the team Halloween party. Supposedly they have a team contest and he ended up winning with their outfit.
Very cool. What was the costume?
Nice
Did they get paid appropriately or did they do a discount for the sake of celebrity
Imagine the custom mannikin you need to order to build that.
*Mannequin
Just an fyi
Mannequin
Need to climb a ladder to get to the top of it like Michelangelo and the Statue of David
No need to say “probably” 😂
It’s not that well done… it’s a black shirt and pants and some basic armor and boots
I was just thinking this lol
It was made from an Edward Scissorhands parade float, there’s a video about it on TikTok
Link?
With his budget? Oh, I think you can probably get pretty prompt turn around.
It feels like someone imported a Geralt model into blender and Stretch Armstrong’d him.
Wemby mod imminent
Reach would OP
swing hits everything on screen
It just stretches the entire game 90% vertically.
yeah, definitely not as good a visual match as his previous Slenderman costume.
probably a good chance we’ll get a Jack Skellington look in the next few years though!
For real, I thought it was an actor on stilts before he opened the cape 🤯.
No matter what he wears someone will ask if he’s supposed to be slenderman
This is The Wiiiiiiiiitcher
Still more lore-accurate than the Netflix series.
His legs actually look like a graphics glitch in the model
Geralt isn’t even a “normal” frame & Wemby is even less normal than that. Just a supremely bizarrely shaped human. That body also possessing incredible ability in basketball is just… weird lol
He would be perfect sized for some Halo Spartan armor.
sword on his back probably as tall as me
His boots are prob taller than my legs gahdamn
His shoelaces are probably thicker then my weiner damn
He’s probably taller than me good lord
Now lets not get too ridiculous.
Bro I’m fuckin dying over here
Look when he walks past the photographer. Wemby’s boots are almost up to his hips.
That is one tall ass motherfuckin Witcher
below his knees looks like waist level for the first guy so yeah, damn.
he could one hand a zweihander
Hey we all go through periods of life where the only option is to one hand our zweihander
Hello fellow Diablo player
I know it from Dark Souls. Rushing the cemetery to get it dodging all the skellies. Ah to be back in 2012 a much simpler time.
Fellow strength enjoyer
It’s a real historical type of sword, Diablo just used the name
Its just a german description of any sword requiring 2 hands. “Zwei” means “two” and “hander” means “handed”.
Hello fellow dark souls 1 player
You know I’m something of a Hollow myself
Rip Dark and Darker player
actually ridiculous
Strength Bros, unite!
Whirlwinding Wemby while dual wielding 2 Zweihanders is the key to winning a championship
So 4 ft?
The one in his hand doesn’t come close to reaching the floor. It’s like a machete in his hands.
check r/theydidthemath tomorrow and you will know for sure
Seriously that’s gotta be 4-5 feet.
Silver for monsters, steel for humans.
They’re both for monsters.
Tbh mildly surprised they let someone walk onto an NBA court with two giant swords, even if he is a player lol
They didnt, he slayed the guards!
flag pole, gotta be…
The only “sword on back scabbard” controversy I’d be like “hold up, long arms, let him cook.”
If the Spurs ever renovate, first thing is taller doors for their boy
Building a whole new stadium for him.
am actually curious if they told them to make certain doors 8 feet tall lol
good idea, that way he would need to duck just a little bit
The fact that the hallways and doorways are already taller than average, and the guy next to the door is in the 6FT range and he still had to duck his head…..Wemby is one tall dude. Need to watch him play live once just to see for myself lol
A standard foor is 6’-8”.
This looks taller than even that. I’d guess it’s a 7 foot door.
I can’t imagine it’s not. The average height in the NBA is 6’6”-6’7”. Average. Which means that half the bell curve is taller than that and 7’0” being uncommon but by no means unheard of. I can’t imagine that they aren’t taking that into account when constructing the doors that they’re walking through. My guess based off of that and just what I’m seeing is that the doorway is 7’2”-7’3”. Wemby is just a freak of nature amongst freaks of nature.
Lmao no they aren’t. 7’ is the standard height.
Man, it’s gotta be annoying to have to duck a hundred times a day.
Brother, let me tell you, not as annoying as never having to duck at all
He should just roll around like Stephen Hawkins
Get him a floating chair like the fat people in wall-e
You get used to it.
I’m sure. But Wemby full on has to crouch, it’s not just a little head nod. That door in the clip is already nonstandard.
not as annoying as you having to tip your toe just to reach the top shelf
What a strange response.
Imagine having to duck just to go through a regular door.
You just know he’s smacked his head on a door frame once or twice
That’s what I noticed as well! That’s insane but when you’re 7’5, perhaps not!
I barely but donha e to duck to go into my basement and even doing that a few times a week annoys me
WembyDome will be built in a few years
It’ll be called the MotherShip.
Head sized cutouts.
Those ARE the taller doors. He still has to duck!
It is wild to me that they don’t just make extra tall ceilings and doors in an NBA facility. It costs a little more, but not a crazy amount.
why? lower floors thats the solution!
Project Marvel is looking shaky rn
Did Castle dress as Yennefer?
Castle should’ve dressed as Kaer Morhen
Castle shoulda been a castle
(Kaer Morhen is a castle…)
That is the joke
Guess what Kaer Morhen is
✅ Dark hair✅ Dresses in black and white✅ Smells of lilac and gooseberries
He checks all the boxes.
lmao #3 got me cackling
This is incredible
How you know what he smells like
I thought it was common knowledge.
I hope Pop’s dressed as Vesemir!
Uhh I hope not! At least not the witcher 3 version
Would you prefer the Netflix Witcher version?
Yaxel should. Then he could be Yaxel of Vengerberg
That would be so hot 🥵
Yaskier
Roach
That was pop
no, Kornet did
Yennefer before she became a sorceress.
Who dressed as the unicorn
I love how serious Wemby takes his Halloween costume every year
Toss a coin to your Wemby🪙🗡️🎶
Oh buckets are plenty
Oooooohhhhh
So many were pissed last year when the league didn’t have a Spurs game on Halloween
Slenderman was the best imo
No-face slander is not tolerated
Agreed. But my favourite was def kaonashi. I found it so funny seeing him struggling to walk down the tunnel ahha
I need to see him as an Alien, with some MIB teammates
The Heidi Klum of the NBA, I love it.
Get this man a worm costume
He needs a hand
I believe he has a fashion designer either on his team or as a consultant
The NBA didnt schedule a halloween game for the Spurs last year so there was a gap year
Geralt of Riviera.
I mean he is still at that age. We often forget how young these athletes are
him being noface was my favorite
I legit got excited when I saw a spurs game today. Dude is French and I don’t think they do Halloween, but he’s embraced it and I love it.
France is actually the second most “cosplaying” country in the world after Japan. They don’t have Halloween, but have decent tradition of dressing up as fictional characters.
Tbf if I was a millionaire and on tv a lot, I’d do stuff like that too.
This man loves his Halloween costumes and I’ll always respect tf outta him for it
My question is where is he getting these lmao you know they don’t make Witcher costumes for 7’6 👽
The world really opens up for you when you make millions.
Exactly I’m sure he has a tailor that does everything for him.
He’s French, he’s a brand ambassador for Louis Vuitton
Same place these dudes get everything. It’s not like they roll into the store and just find a XXXXXTall shirt and pair of 52 length pants. Everything a guy like Wemby wears is custom.
I know lol it’s just funny to think about.
The secret ingredient is $$$$$$$$$$
Dude is a giant and rich. Wouldn’t be surprised if everything is bespoke.
cosplayers are a wild/enthusiastic bunch
100% gotta be a custom made fit
What about on the court
Good lord you Spurs fans are getting awfully sensitive
It was a joke
How often do you think he’s hit his head on doorways
Had a buddy who was 6’11 and he basically perpetually had a bump on his head from doorways and cabinets. Can’t imagine it’s much better when you’re 7’4.
i think he might do better than slightly shorter people. Most of the things you hit your head on are eye height for him so much easier to dodge and see them comming
Yeah I suppose at his height Wemby’s concerns are less about doorways and more low flying aircraft.
Got to get his own FAA regs for drones operating round him
Lmao
ceiling fans
Not so sure. I am 6’4” and things like oven hoods and cabinet doors always get me because it is in the way of your natural movement, even if you can see it. I have to make sure and pull back and then duck, or lean around, to get under the oven hood or around the door. It helps having long arms, but you have to get your head where the arms are reaching. Bending over to get a taste of soup or chili cooking is a dangerous task.
But there are pipes & sprinklers way up there, which aren’t as predictable as doorframes. Also spiky sprinkler heads really hurt.
I think another difference is frequency.
At 6’11 you might let your guard down because some things are tall enough.
When you are much taller, that isn’t the case.
Tell me that your friend played at least D1 basketball
He did! Think he just had too many injuries to continue much further, brilliant guy though so he ended up doing quite well for himself.
That’s dope af lol. If only I was 8 inches taller… might’ve played D3 ball 😅
Is he a senior manager at PWL Capital?
I think it’s probably better since more of them would be in your sight line. Standard doors are 6’8” so your buddy might not see them coming.
Gives me the image of Gandalf bonking his noggin multiple times in Bilbo’s house
I had a buddy in college we called 6-8 because we weren’t very creative. He hit his head if he messed up his stride going through doorways all the time. He hated this one dude, Paul, we called Tall Paul (we were not creative), who was 7’8”, ‘cause he made 6-8 look short.
Anyway, Tall Paul just walked around with a hunch all the time. Poor dude. Knocked his head on everything. I think he ended up being “drafted” with the Globetrotters for a handful of years.
6’11 is probably worse for awareness.
Less things hit your head, but that also makes you less careful. Some doorways hit you, some cabinets…
For Wemby, it’s most doorways, most cabinets, etc.
Honestly, probably not that often. He’s not just grazing the doorway, he’s like eye to eye with the top.
Yeah this video made me think it’s odd a sports arena isnt made to accommodate the atheltes that will be using them lol. And I did look it up, the arena the Spurs use was made with the intention of hosting NBA games. I checked because a hockey only arena that adopted an NBA team would make sense but the NBA has had 7foot+ athletes forever.
Safety precaution, if they make non-standard doors, it would lull them into feeling safe going through doors, next thing you know your star knocks himself out on a doorway at Sherwin Williams because they were thinking it was tall enough,
He’s like a Moose moving through the woods.
Probably not that often. When nearly no door is tall enough, you duck them all.
Its probably things like light fixtures he nails.
as 1,98m man without hair in a country where door frames are 2m … i can tell you my head is a warzone…luckily the scars blend in over time.
Hitting your head on a door closer is an epic level of pain.
This guy wins every Halloween.
Cameraman had to do a double take after
Toss a lob to your Witcher, oh point guard of plenty
“Or just DeAaron Fox, I guess, if that’s all you have”
“Let the peasants pick this up”
LMAO first thing I thought of
Reminds me of when the hornets gave Melo a jar full of MnM’s and told him to guess how many and he just dropped them all on the floor and said 0. Kind of a dick move because you know they ain’t picking that shit up but I guess you can understand it from their point of view lol
Eh their job was to make content people would want to watch and he gave them something better than they could have asked for
Not like a bowl full of m and ms is a hard clean up job either
But that’s at least a minute of swiping with a broom. How can one man be allowed to cause such mayhem?
Yeah that’s why I said you can understand it from their pov. They know the clip going viral which helps the organization in general for more exposure
Maybe players should trash stuff after every interview they have
just had a realization you just described literally all professional athletes
I’ve never heard of this, and I completely sympathize with whoever had to deal with the mess, but goddamn that’s funny as fuck.
Tbf, he apologized to the girl/interviewer before he emptied the cup.
https://m.youtube.com/shorts/_obd6iSwigs?ra=m
lol this context totally changes my view on it
Modern-day Martin Luther King, Jr.
Whyy short this short ass name to Melo… there’s already a Melo. Just say LaMelo
yeah I was expecting Carmelo wtf is this
Or even better: LaMe
yea but that shit is funny as hell lol
Im sure the social media dude was very happy with that clip lmao
Celebrities live in such a different world than us. Thing is people will gladly do it, too
also what’s the worst thing that happens. it sits there for 12+ hours before some staff picks it up and puts it in lost and found. he bought it for the camera shot and expended it for the camera shot. of all the entitled rich person behavior this is like barely scratching the paint.
Well that and NBA players are used to having their clothes picked up. They don’t even do their own laundry
Not even. These guys are entertainers. This is their job.
He’s on a broadcast camera, this is posted by official NBA account. He’s essentially on a stage.
r/whoosh
What a douche move
It’s a cloak. You act like he took a dump on the floor.
That did bother me. I wanted to see Wemby run back and pick it up after the dope entrance
I was waiting for his cosplay to drop way more eagerly than any of the games tonight. Dude nails it like every single time.
Imagine this fucking guy coming at you in a medieval battle in the French countryside 😂
Arrow bait though
He’s a witcher he’ll just parry the arrows
Gotta break out the pitchfork
Whats the body version of “snipers dream”?
he’s already an enderman, you can’t hit endermen with arrows
Archer’s Dream, they’d call him
Too tall and too skinny to be scary on a medieval battlefield, tbh. Insane reach with a spear, though
Bro no way I’m getting into a sword fight with a 7’5 guy idc how skinny he is
rather that then a 5’10 of pure farmboy muscle
How about a 6’4 chiseled up Viking warrior who grew up on a farm. Did I mention also a champion?
How about you in the battlefield up against .. BROCKKKK LESSSNARRRRR!!!!!
Just imagine the glory that would be yours for slaying the 7’5 beast in medieval ages i’d fucking go for it
With those long ass arms he could overhead toss rocks like a fucking living trebuchet
nah, bro is not bringing that rock up. he’s gonna swing them down and try to blow by you.
Let me remind you that skinny man is still 240 lbs with 8ft reach, you are dead before you get into poke/stab range with anything except a spear.
Giant target for arrows tho.
hes dead before he gets to me, which would be my bigger worry
Dumb take. If a man that size came charging at you, would end up like the victims in the Ring. Frozen with your mouth open and long gone.
if a man that size vame charging at me on uneven ground, thrown off balance by weapons and armor he would more than likely trip, no worries
Sure doofus.
Wtf are you talking about? They were short and basically malnourished compared to this dude. He would literally skull fuck European soldiers of that period.
Bro could joust without a horse
Even knowing how fragile NBA players are, any random dude is gonna get insanely rocked in a sword fight with one and that’s if he doesn’t lose the psychological battle of going up against a massive dude like that
NBA players aren’t fragile. Their injuries are just an inevitable consequence of pushing their bodies to the limit daily to maintain peak performance.
On top it most Medieval Europeans probably have never seen a black man before.
He would get his shit wrecked
You go for the knees.
Just send a strong gust of wind his way and you’re good.
He’d flip and expect a call, lol
Just hack him right at the knees lol
I’d laugh
Im aiming all my arrows at that dude. He’s getting 6 crossbow bolts to the chest
Well what are they? Arrows, or crossbow bolts?
Bro dropped that cape with 100% confidence
Place of power. Has to be.
Seeing Wemby beside the photographer makes it feel like he could actually be a monster hunter in a fantasy world that normal people need to survive.
Alternate universe where Slender Man became a Witcher
Imagine Wemby sized Witcher charging at you, you definitely fleeting.
He’ll never catch anyone, you can see him from a mile away!
Very easy to take out his knees. His reach is a problem, but if you can get close, he’ll struggle
Like in video games when you have to take out the feet and knees of the huge enemy
It’s wild that he must have to custom-order literally everything he wears. No one is mass producing clothes for people his size.
You mean Spirit Halloween doesn’t have a Big and Very Very Very Tall section?
Size W
Isn’t that just a large for them?
Felt like that place has terrible sizing growing up.
I mean there is a non zero chance they could, but not for footwear the size Wemby probably requires.
Makes me appreciate his choice to do this. He wants bad enough to show up in costume that he’ll go through the trouble to custom make it. Dope
Shit my ass thought he was a targaryen😂😂
Vaegon Wembgaryen first of his name
The Big Mad Prince
The people of Westeros would’ve thought he was part Giants blood. Wembyreon Targaryen could work as well, honestly, the only dragons I could see him riding would be Balerion, Meraxes and Vhaegar lmao
Any other dragon (maybe Caraxes and Vermithor, Silverwing) and he would’ve had to wait decades for them to be grown enough
Wembgaryen leviosa
“4 pages in the white book for Ser Wemby the Tall”
Shit my ass
You did what now?
Shit. His. Ass.
if he keeps the wig he could do daemon next year
Same if he didn’t drop the cape he could be an elf in Lord of the ring lmao.
They’re all ripoffs of Elric of Melnibone by Moorecock
Same here
I thought so too because of the cape, reminds me of the side quest guy: https://youtube.com/shorts/UqJhcO7vfFA
Ser Wemby the Tall, I think.
HBO had a short but really good series about his story. Not sure who played “egg”…
The butcher of Blaviken?
Imagine Geralt being that tall while retaining his agility. Unstoppable
OG Witchers dropped the ball on no height-maxing gene for the Trial of the Grasses smh
i was hoping he’d go as a cosmere character but this is sick too
Shows up in full Shard Plate. Enter “The Blackthorn”
would that make OKC The Rift? stormlight archive book 3 spoilers
as someone just passing through, I appreciate you spoiler tagging. I’ve only read book 1
of course! enjoy book 2 it’s arguably the best in the series
He’s one of the few people on earth tall enough to do a canonical cosplay of an Alethi in shardplate, so he needs to do it at some point.
A mistcloak would have been epic
i was thinking maybe kaladin cause he’s also described as pretty tall. wemby in a bridge 4 uniform would look amazing
Those on Roshar are also taller than the average human.
true but kaladin is one of the tallest among them with rock being the tallest iirc
All alethi are tall
Oh yeah that would be pretty damn cool too
Maybe he’ll do it the Halloween after the Mistborn movie comes out.
One of the NBA writers on twitter said The Witcher is his favorite book series
I was hoping for backrooms pirate
They should let him be a steel inquisitor in the movie
Just commented this on another comment, but he’d honestly be a sick Nale. Canonically black, minor role, and being tall would work for a herald. Pretty stoic but at times fiery with passion which I feel fits wemby’s personality.
With his frame that could be really scary if they did it right
If they let him be the one that fights Kelsier it could be his Kareem vs Bruce Lee
Kaladin and cosmere accurate height
It’d be cool to see him as an inquisitor
He’d make a perfect inquisitor
I think it will in a few years when it picks up more with the general public
Wemby of Rivia
You know what, it makes sense why Wemby played like ass the first game. Mans was definitely 70+ hours into the Witcher 3 Remaster lmaooo
Was it really that good? I thought the consensus was no.
Nah he just wanted to give some reddit morons a chance to spew out some bullshit takes
And they surely did
I thought it was because most of his “talent” is just being the tallest
Give us somebody shaped like this as an action star
Wemby for Kaladin Stormblessed you cowards. I will also settle for Nale
Hoid.
This is the only correct answer
Wemby is a smart, thoughtful dude. I’d love to see him be able to utilize some of that on script where he doesn’t have to feel judged for being a jerk. He’d be perfect.
I’d also take Prepotente. Need to hear his scream though. Maybe I’m just type casting.
Sigzil
Kaladin isn’t that tall 🤣
Lifelong Spurs fan. 2026 playoff Wemby has big Nale energy. Wild looks and crazy eyes.
Wilt in Conan. Close enough.
My man Wilt was jacked too. Made Arnold look like a child. What a specimen
Also Kareem in Game of Death
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar - Game of Death
Kevin Peter Hall shoulda been given a shot.
You’ll get robert bobroczkyi as a creepy creature and you’ll love it.
The guy that played the predator was like 6”11
backrooms might be the closest we get lol.
Dr manhattan
Kareem did a little
Kareem in Bruce Lee films comes close!
Go watch Kareem
Kareem vs Bruce Lee
This is almost identical to Wilt in Conan the destroyer
It would make a great movie. Best we got is Groot.
That ain’t a Witcher, that’s a Leshen!
Leshy would’ve been a better choice from that universe.
A leshen would’ve been so cool but probably so complicated to pull take off and put on without it looking derpy
Too niche though. A pregame costume you just wanna make some headlines. Witcher costume is going to draw way more attention than Leshy
I think he meant a leshen but real card gamers know leshy is the real answer
Leshy is the original name for the monster in Slavic folklore, and that’s what they call it in the TV show I think. But yeah same monster, different name.
He has the height of Letho, but not the bulk.
Came here for this observation lol
Many more people know the Witcher tho: + he loves the series from what I know and this is a simple costume he can kinda pull off.
I thought you had a typo on Leahy, and was wondering what Wemby knows about the way the shit winds are blowing
The real question is who would be his Bobandy?
Yeaaaah missed chance tbh… I don‘t think there is anyone who could pull it off better than wemby
Fuck my favorite team. This is my favorite player.
He has not missed on Halloween costumes yet
Can NBA players wear Halloween (or other) makeup in-game? Or, like, could Jaylen Brown wear his 3rd eye open, or does he need to paint it shut for games? What are the rules around this?
WNBA players play with makeup, so an NBA player would have a good case for it if it was banned.
That’s a good point! (I didn’t intend to only dunk on JB, but) Jaylen Brown did dress up for a few games (and it wasn’t even Halloween) as “guy with full head of hair”, which seems at least makeup-adjacent, so I would be curious how far one could push this.
The WNBA has you covered again lol. Here’s a video of a wig falling off midgame (look at the top left).
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/eaMNuE22DNc
Seems so silly to me, the concept of putting products on your face to look better when you’re taking part in an intense physical activity which will leave you sweaty and so on.
Kinda sad in a way that women feel the need to do so. Maybe it’s intrinsic but I feel like a part of it is societal pressure and standards
Porn stars wearing make up offends you?
Who said it offended me?
Enes kanter has entered the chat
I thought third eye was just a Kyrie thing?
“Why men throw their shots away attacking a long-armed witcher… Something about my face?”
Seriously though, I wonder how overpowered his Gwent deck is.
You would wonder about his Gwent “deck” being overpowered.
This doesn’t even make sense
Winds howling
They really need some kind of red carpet for players lol. They put all this effort just to walk into a white sterile hallway.
Pretty cool but he’ll never top slenderman
I think his Spirited Away costume from 2024 already topped it lol.
I wish he did one last year though, would’ve been sick to see what he would’ve done. Always something to look forward to
Reporters asked him about it but he said something like “we don’t play this Halloween so people won’t get to see”
Spurs need to play every Halloween like we play every NYE.
He was great as slenderman, but I think he could also be great as Lenny Williamson
He could be zombie Chet
Yeah still my fav one
The silver one is for the Knicks and the iron is for the Thunder
I’ma need a talented person to mod this in the game. Please
He might have trouble moving around indoors. lol
