Despite his team’s subpar record and evident struggles, he’s currently one of the frontrunners for Defensive Player of the Year. That’s why, in the latest edition of First Things First, FOX analyst Chris Broussard explained why he should win the award. Wemby is @Chris_Broussard's 2023-24 NBA DPOY He ..read more

(Photo by Ian Maule/Getty Images)   Victor Wembanyama’s rookie season in the NBA is now over, and he has lived up to all of the massive hype that has surrounded him for at least the past 18 months.

Nike has released a logo for Wembanyama’s merch with the company, and per “4thand1show” on Twitter, former NFL MVP quarterback Cam Newton likes it ..read more

As noted by StatMuse, Wembanyama’s rookie season featured him averaging 21 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 blocks per game. That’s the most blocks by a rookie in the 21st century and makes him the first rookie with 300+ blocks and steals since Shaquille O’Neal. This is the first season with 250+ blocks and 100+ three-pointers. If that wasn’t impressive enough, Wembanyama also earned the first 5×5 by a rookie in more than 20 seasons. In othe ..read more

(Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images)   The San Antonio Spurs found a generational building block. Victor Wembanyama has proven to be as good as scouts said, and it didn’t take long before he made an impact.

As a matter of fact, Wembanyama has been so dominant as a rim protector that he’s actually averaged ..read more

(Photo by Ronald Cortes/Getty Images)   The San Antonio Spurs will finish the 2023-24 NBA season with one of the worst records in the league, but the franchise is in excellent shape moving forward because of the rapid development of Victor Wembanyama. Wembanyama somehow managed to exceed expectations after all the hype and attention he got the previous offseason before he was selected No. 1 overall in the 2023 NBA Draft. The France native had a relatively underwhelming start in the Las Vegas Summer League which dulled some of the excitement, but he quickly shut down any sort of doubt once ..read more

There were some obvious concerns about his size and lack of muscle, and some thought he wasn’t going to be durable. Fast forward to today, and he’s played most of the games this season and has had one of the most impressive rookie campaigns this game has ever seen. Talking on hi ..read more
