Victor Wembanyama told reporters Saturday he had questions ready for LeBron James, Steph Curry and Kevin Durant.
There are some athletes who at a young age simply seem destined to achieve greatness, and Victor Wembanyama is one of them. I haven’t seen the basketball card hobby this excited about a player’s rookie cards since LeBron James’ NBA debut in 2003.
Victor Wembanyama entered the NBA with immense expectations, drawing comparisons to the hype surrounding LeBron James as a prospect.
The last two NBA Finals noticeably lacked marquee names like LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Steph Curry as younger stars like Jayson Tatum and Luka Doncic are starting to exert their dominance and take hold of the league.
So far in his second season, Wembanyama is averaging 24.3 points, 11 rebounds and a league-leading 3.8 blocks per game. If he can keep this pace up through the rest of the season after the break, the former top pick has a chance to earn a spot on an All-NBA team and maybe take home his first Defensive Player of the Year award.
Bucks 116 (30-24), Clippers 110 (31-24): Damian Lillard shook off a bad night to score 12 of his 15 in a 36-21 final frame for Milwaukee to snatch this victory. Giannis Antetokounmpo had 10 of his 23 points in the fourth. LA is only a half-game ahead of Minnesota for sixth out West.
Charles Barkley shared his honest thoughts on the Victor Wembanyama-inspired NBA face of the league conversation.
