One of the neat things about sports is the respect that is shown from a star in one sport to a star in another.
Recently, a ton of respect was shown when Baltimore Ravens MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson met up with San Antonio Spurs star center Victor Wembanyama in Paris.
In the photo that was taken of the two, it is quite clear who the taller athlete is.
The answer is Wembanyama by a wide margin.
The height difference between Lamar Jackson and Victor Wembanyama is CRAZY

The reigning NBA Defensive Rookie of the Year currently stands at 7-4 while Jackson currently stands at 6-2.
Jackson’s head is only up to Wembanyama’s shoulders.
Perhaps, in a few years, this photo could resurface after these players have led their respective teams to a championship or two.
Jackson is coming off of his second-career MVP season as he nearly brought the Ravens to the Super Bowl.
He is one of the most dangerous offensive players in the game.
Wembanyama, as most people can probably tell from his structure, is a rising superstar in the game of basketball.
There aren’t many 7-4 basketball players out there and when there are, they don’t at all have the skills that the Frenchman possesses.
He can run the floor, shoot jumpers, and provide unbeatable defense.
He was the league leader in blocks too.
This meeting of these two players should be seen as a really cool moment for fans of both sports.
The greatness needs to be appreciated.
At the very least, these players should be making magic happen in their respective sports for the next 10+ years.
