The amount of slander Victor Wembanyama is getting for his first-ever Finals run is crazy. 🤯
For perspective:
🔸 Shaq made his first Finals at 22 and got swept 4-0
🔸 LeBron made his first Finals at 23 and got swept 4-0
🔸 Jordan didn’t reach the Finals until age 27
🔸 Jokic didn’t reach the Finals until age 27
🔸 Curry didn’t reach the Finals until age 26
At just 22 years old, this dude already broke records and carried his team to the biggest stage in basketball.
Knicks point guard Jose Alvarado started his victory tour in his native Brooklyn by making a surprise appearance in the Knickerbocker Avenue Puerto Rican Day Parade on Sunday.

The Florida Gators position group I'm most excited to watch this year: the defensive line.
At EDGE, Jon Sumrall was able to retain the young star in Jayden Woods, keeping him out of the portal.
He brought in Emmanuel Oyebadejo, who is a 6'7''-303 pound guy from Jacksonville St, and was first team C-USA last season.
Also at edge is KJ Ford, a freshman, and Kamran James.
Moving inside to DT, they return:
- SO Joseph Mbatchou
- RS JR Brendan Bett
- SO Jeremiah McCloud
And bring in DK Kalu from Baylor.
Led by what could be a lethal duo off the edge, this Gators' DL could cause some havoc this season
