They call him the unicorn, but for LeBron James, he’s more like an alien. The one that people are buzzing about is Victor Wembanyama.
Standing at 7’4″ with an 8-foot wingspan, Wembanyama has been turning heads with his Rudy Gobert-like defense and Kevin Durant-like offense.
With the anticipation of him being the favorite No. 1 overall pick in the next year’s draft, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver warned all 30 teams to play their best still and not tank to land the one-of-a-kind generational talent.
“I know that many of our NBA teams are salivating at the notion that potentially through our lottery, they can get him, so they should all still compete very hard next season,” he said during the NBA pre-season held in Abu Dhabi.
Reporters were also curious about what NBA superstars thought of the prospect, and they were all nothing but high praises to the French teenager.
