This kid is 21 years old, a top six player in the NBA, openly hates the best team in the league, rushed back from an injury to come off the bench and beat that team in the NBA Cup, met with the Spursโ fan club on his day off to practice cheers, started a tradition leading those cheers with the entire arena after Spurs wins, and is making a concerted effort to improve the environment and atmosphere at NBA games.
Future face of the league, future MVP, future HOFer, I donโt even know what else to say about Victor Wembanyama. Absolute superstar in every sense of the word.
If LeBronโs incomprehensible 10+ point, 17 year, 1,297 game streak were ever going to end, that was simply the greatest way imaginable:
Sitting on 8 points, tie game, ball in hands, chance to keep streak alive with a make or get to OT with a miss, heโฆ made the right play.
Assisted for the open 3. Ball game. Lakers win.
Just perfect. And weโll never see anything like that streak again.
