Lisa Salters' awkward mic shot during postgame interview

sportsJun 9, 2026214,699

During an ESPN postgame interview, Victor Wembanyama, 7'4", towered over reporter Lisa Salters, making it difficult to keep both in the broadcast frame. The camera repeatedly left Salters partly out of view and placed the microphone below Wembanyama's chin, forcing visible angle changes and mic adjustments. The moment highlights a production challenge when interviewing an extremely tall athlete and points to easy fixes like raising camera height or using an extended microphone for clearer, more composed shots.

Another inch or two and they would have had to put Salter into a fire truck basket.

Does this mean that abc/espn has to pay for all of her? Or just the hand?

Earlier in the playoffs, Lisa Salters thanked Karl-Anthony Towns for always bending to her level during the interviews, which is the polite and normal thing to do. We love a respectful KAT.

Lisa Salters should either get a step ladder or put the microphone on a little stick when interviewing Wemby after games

Victor Wembanyama is 7'4", and Lisa Salters is 5'2" (at least according to the interwebs), which means you could (would have to) stack a mid-size toddler on her head to equal his height.
