Tom Brady urged everyone to look at a (fake) photo proving he’s tall as Victor Wembanyama

Tom Brady Victor Wembanyama Wemby

Victor Wembanyama’s astounding height of 7-foot-4 continues to wow the sports world. Even the legendary Tom Brady (who is 6-foot-4) used a photo of himself next to the San Antonio Spurs phenom to brutally roast his former New England Patriots teammate, Julian Edelman.

After realizing he opened a can of worms, inadvertently letting everyone make fun of him, a self-aware Brady showed off a great sense of humor. He took to his Twitter profile and shared an (entirely fake) picture of himself standing next to Wembanyama. The curious change?

Brady’s height disparity compared to Wembanyma doesn’t appear that stark. Oh, and he really wanted us to share the photo to help spread the truth (his propaganda). Message received, Tom.

Hmm. Now I see clearly nothing wrong or off about that picture. Why yes, Brady merely gained a foot of height in his mid-40s, and it all looks natural. Why do you ask?

This was how Twitter reacted to Brady's photo joke
