French 7’3” NBA star Victor Wembanyama may have just unlocked a new position: Shaolin monk. Wembanyama, who ended last season early due to a rare blood clot in his right shoulder appeared to be looking for some off-season spiritual peace and strength at a Shaolin Temple in central China.

The 21-year-old French phenom said many of his meals during the trip consisted of zucchini and rice noodles, adding that his weight was up to 245 pounds—even with occasional sneaks of meat to maintain his stature.
