Tom Brady was stunned by meeting Victor Wembanyama in person.
The greatest NFL quarterback of all time recently posted a fascinating photo of his meet up with the NBA phenom who's best known as Wemby, the San Antonio Spurs star with an 8ft wingspan.
With the Spurs set to face the New York Knicks inside the world-famous Madison Square Garden on Thursday, Brady revealed his interaction with the 7ft 4in rookie and France native.
"Awesome to meet you @wemby," Brady posted on Instagram. "Incredible young man."
The NFL legend added: "Usually I'd make some joke here about how I think I could get 10 and 10 against you, but let's be real … you'd send my jumper into the club level."
Several laughing emojis followed.

Then the seven-time Super Bowl champion couldn't resist making a dig at good friend and former New England teammate Julian Edelman, who is 5ft 8in.
"This is how you felt all those years?" asked Brady, referring to Edelman looking up at him.
Edelman jokingly replied with a classic The Office line, "I am dead inside."
The 19-year-old Wembanyama has initially exceeded his NBA draft hype and recently beat Kevin Durant's Phoenix Suns in back-to-back games.

A monster 38-point outing against the Suns sent Wemby's name into another level.
The rookie already leads the Spurs in average points, rebounds, steals and blocks.
While San Antonio holds a 3-4 record and is still trying to get its overall youth movement going, Wembanyama is almost averaging a double-double (19.4 points, 8.4 rebounds).
The Spurs are coming off back-to-back losses, including an embarrassing 41-point blowout defeat at Indiana.
But winnable games against New York, Minnesota and Oklahoma City follow.
Brady is clearly already impressed with the NBA rookie, who has been touted as the eventual replacement to LeBron James.
It's rare for Brady to stare up at anyone.
But the NFL great was doing just that with Wembanyama.
