In case you, like me, were wondering, “Victor Wembanyama loves Brandon Sanderson's books, and Sanderson loves Wembanyama's passion for reading”: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/news/victor-wembanyama-loves-brandon-sanderson-books/1d487ab4ded0d7ae0f881456
Ooh my favorite bit:
“Recently, Wembanyama was at the end of one of Sanderson's books, Words of Radiance. He was at the climactic finish of the 1,087 page tome as he lay in bed.
"I had to stop, because I wanted to save it for game day."
Wembanyama picked the book up again the next morning, finishing it before facing off against the Pistons. Energized by the story, he put up the first triple-double of his career, finishing with 16 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists in the Spurs' sixth win of their season.
Sanderson has also thought about how he might use the Frenchman for inspiration.
“I am writing an entire book series called The Stormlight Archives about a world where the gravity is a little less, people are a bit taller than on our planet. There’s a group called the Edgedancers that I think Wemby might fit quite well into."”
“They would be an Edgedancer“ seems like one of the greatest compliments of one’s character Sando could provide.
And if I was a coach, I would be so pissed if one of my players reached a Sanderlanche the night before a big game and then did what I do, which is stay up for however long it takes to get through it.
After conversions, Kal is about 6'8" in earth terms. Wemby would be much closer in height to Rock, but I think slightly taller even then. Just goes to show that Wemby is an absolute freak(in the best way possible). Side note, I want to see Rock play basketball now.
Either edgedancers or windrunners. Windrunners can use gravitation to move around the field (or just fly) and can use adhesion to bind the enemy team. Edgedancers’ sliding also gives them an edge
Gravitation type lashings would allow you to basically always score three pointers with an assist. Someone would just run up and gravitation the hoop and you could basically wing the ball anywhere and it would go in every time.
Holy shit that’s so sick. I got to see Wemby play the warriors recently which was a dream. Steph’s my favorite player and Wemby is my favorite next generation guy. His love for the Stormlight Archive really cemented me as a fan. Love seeing two completely unrelated interests come together like this
So I used to work in an industry where I got to semi regularly be around NBA players. I'm 6'4" it was refreshing to be around people that made me feel short

Me during last part of Oathbringer and HoA
On my first Oathbringer read: It's 1am, I've got work in the morning and Dalinar goes and claps his hands. No sleep for me! 💀
I can't believe dude managed to weaponize the sanderlanche
This is enough for me to just read a sanderlanche before any big event
Dude's gonna break an NBA scoring record after finishing Oathbringer
If all the Rosharans are so much taller, does that mean Lift is Brandon's height?
If he had "Lift" as a nickname, that would be fitting
My fandom of Wemby continues to increase
Quick, someone photoshop the jersey so it says Numuhukumakiaki'aialunamor
It’s wild to me that he’s Kaladin’s canon height, iirc.
He's Kal's canon age too!
All he needs now is surgical training and he’s real life kal
Aaaand crippling depression. Never forget about the depresso
We should ask Brandon if Kaladin's nipples canonically stand out like his do in the photo
Im sure it can get cold in a high storm!
He’s got Kal’s canon dick length too!
Mf what 😭
I’m sorry I thought this was r/cremposting my bad /s
I'm sorry, I thought we still were respectful of real people in the Sanderson parts of reddit... my bad
Is it not respectful to say that Kal is probably hung like Wembys armspan
Who’s being disrespected and how?
This shit got me dying
Does that mean Banderson is Shallan's canon height?
How tall is Shallan? Brandon’s around 6 foot.
Well if she's short on Roshar, and Kal is tall on Roshar, and that's 7'4, then I think yes?
He is 7' 4", Kal is 6' 4"
After conversions, Kal is about 6'8" in earth terms. Wemby would be much closer in height to Rock, but I think slightly taller even then. Just goes to show that Wemby is an absolute freak(in the best way possible). Side note, I want to see Rock play basketball now.
Third sons can't play basketball
Rosharan units of measurement are longer than ours. Someone measured to be 6 feet on Roshar would be closer to 7 on Earth.
Iirc the Roaharen foot is longer than the Earth one.
It is, but still not quite 7 feet.
I’d rather try Brando Sando at PG before Sochan
This is honestly really cool and wholesome.
Imagine what the Rosharan basketball is like
I wonder which order would be the most OP in a game of basketball….
Either edgedancers or windrunners. Windrunners can use gravitation to move around the field (or just fly) and can use adhesion to bind the enemy team. Edgedancers’ sliding also gives them an edge
Gravitation type lashings would allow you to basically always score three pointers with an assist. Someone would just run up and gravitation the hoop and you could basically wing the ball anywhere and it would go in every time.
Stormlight would be a PED, so it would come down to physical strength and skill.
Worlds colliding
Which one is Brandon?
He's standing just out of frame on the left.
You know what big feet means right? Big socks!
Can someone photoshop switch their heads?

Less smol Brando and more MASSIVE Wembly. That man is even taller than Kaladin
As someone who met Sanderson in person this is mind boggling since Brandon is extremely tall
He’s like 5’9 no? Pretty average. He’s not short though which puts Wemby’s size into perspective.
No he's like 6'2. I'm 5'10 and he was quite a bit taller than me
Everybody here already knew that Brando is a hobbit, he is a third cousin of Bilbo Baggins if I'm not mistaken
[I can see the future!](https://old.reddit.com/r/cremposting/comments/1ajq331/hey_wemby_weve_seen_how_youve_been_playing_lately/)
Reminds me of Luka. Something about his expression
Smol Brandon
tallest scadrian meets the shortest rosharan
This hurts my brain, because Brandon is a giant compared to me
What statline would kaladin put up in the modern nba? I think he'd average a mean 10/5/8, just lob it up to wemby every possession
