Who is bold enough to try and score on Victor Wembanyama? His height is intimidating enough to discourage most, and that’s without adding his ball skills to the mix. Ranked among the sport’s titans, an intriguing assertion has surfaced that casts doubt on his supremacy, courtesy Fat Joe.

Rap icon turned basketball analyst Fat Joe claimed that if Allen Iverson, a 76ers magnificent, and the tall 7’4 prospect Victor Wembanyama had faced off in a hypothetical game, Iverson would have won and humiliated the star Spurs player.

Fat Joe’s Heated Claim

During an open conversation on the “Roommates Show,” Fat Joe made a statement that has generated a heated dispute. Although Wembanyama is taller than Iverson (6 feet 4 inches), Fat Joe is sure that Iverson’s skill would have won out over Wembanyama’s size.

The 53-year-old icon, Fat Joe mentioned, “AI Stephon Marbury they would have embarrassed Wembanyama already you ain’t think of embarrassing him like them to you know he’s guaranteed to do this.” Joe continued, “He if one of you little guys just super killer crossed over this guy like a like a Jamal C but AI and Stephon Marbury would have embarrassed him already you would have been seeing the clip of him falling down.”

Does size matter when it comes to basketball talent? Certainly, Wembanyama’s enormous height gives him an edge in some areas of the game, such as rebounds and shot-blocking. On the other hand, Iverson challenges the norm with his scoring power to negotiate traffic and has great ball-handling skills. Surely a contest between them both in their prime would be something to see!
