Victor Wembanyama Talks Rookie Season & Impersonates Shaq | Inside the NBA

[@pemp9606]

This guy has all the intangibles bro… he sees greatness in himself but is so humble about everything

Exactly. Most of the time that the difference between a good player and an all time great. Seems smart down to earth has the right environment to growand most important willingness to work hard.

bcuz the spurs are smart & doesn't want to be a no.8 seed team in the playoffs, get bounce early or get sweep & do it again the next 5 years ..... they rather go for the no.5 seed ..... i mean,the first 5 picks of the next rookie draft ..... & improve the team with more talents like what okc did,especially at pg position .... go spurs !!!!!! 😂😅😂😅-😢😢😢😢😢😢 .....

Wemby is chosen to be the next big media star. It is all set.

[@joshz3788]

It's not surprising. Wemby (and Chet) are quite literally the first of their kind, and I don't just mind tall. I mean basketball ability too. There have been many as tall as Chet / Wemby, but none who could transfer that body to the league, and these two have. It's truly incredible and a unicorn feat.

When Victor said" aren't you supposes to know these things" I think was the lil jab and Shaq said nothing lol that was when he should've said it. Just how Charles was honest and brought up how he said Victor was going to have to used to losing this season and asked Victor, Shaq was supposed to ask Victor how he can be better than Bol Bol. I knew he wasn't going to ask or say it. He don't want to fuel Victor to making his assessment of Bol look foolish.
