Victor Wembanyama is the talk of the town in the NBA basketball universe at the moment. The San Antonio Spurs’ number one overall pick in 2023 is being hailed as a once-in-a-generation talent. Standing at a towering 7-foot-4 (2.19m) and an incredible 8-foot-long (2.4m) wingspan, this 19 year old French sensation is a unicorn.

Wembanyama was born on January 4, 2004, in the Parisian suburb of Le Chesnay. He inherited his remarkable height and athletic abilities from both his parents, who were former athletes. Wembanyama’s basketball career came into the spotlight when he started playing for French Euroleague team ASVEL Basket in 2021-22.

In those two games, Wembanyama stuffed the stat sheet as he averaged 36.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steals, and 4.5 blocks per game. His virtuoso performances clearly set him apart from his contemporaries such as Scoot Henderson.

In the 2022-23 LNB Pro A season, Wembanyama continued his dominance, and became the youngest player ever to win the LNB Pro A MVP Award. He also earned a spot on the All-Pro A First Team and received accolades as the Best Defender, Best Scorer, Best Young Player, and Best Blocker.

Victor Wembanyama's outstanding achievements paved the way for him to be chosen as the number one pick in the 2023 NBA Draft by the San Antonio Spurs. His 2023 NBA preseason performances have already featured some jaw-dropping plays on both ends, highlighting his prowess as a two-way phenom.
