Victor Wembanyama is highly rated as one of the best basketball players of his generation. The young Frenchman had an incredible breakout NBA season to remember, on the back of unprecedented hype that followed him from college right to the league. And he stood out head over shoulders, going on to win the 2024 NBA Rookie of the Year award for his performances with the San Antonio Spurs.
His performances for the Spurs have certainly not gone unnoticed, as both fans of the game and basketball veterans alike have watched Wembanyama keenly. More recently, former NBA star and sports analyst Kendrick Perkins has predicted that Wembanyama will go on to win three rings.
I believe he [Wemby] will win three championships when this is all said and done. It's not gonna be easy though, right?Kendrick Perkins on ‘NBA Today’
Perkins also noted that becoming a three-time NBA Champ won’t be a walk in the park. And especially since Victor Wembanyama is in the era of more established basketball stars like Boston Celtics’ Jayson Tatum, Minnesota Timberwolves’ Anthony Edwards, Memphis Grizzlies’ Ja Morant and will definitely face fierce competition from them in the league.
One, he's still gonna share the league with Jayson Tatum, Anthony Edwards, Ja Morant[...] they're coming for the same goal.Kendrick Perkins added
As his rookie season with the Spurs over, Wembanyama has a lot to be happy about, given the solid and impressive start to his NBA career. He is currently at the Paris Olympics with Team France, competing in the men’s basketball games.
Former NBA star compares Victor Wembanyama to LeBron James
As Wemby finds himself in the center of talk surrounding the NBA after a season to remember, a former league veteran recently compared Victor Wembanyama to LeBron James. This comparison came from ex-basketball player Tony Parker, who asserts that the Spurs prodigy is like the Lakers legend in many ways.
He's ready… And he's not bothered by the pressure or the expectations… he's a little bit like LeBron. You know, the only one I can compare with so much expectations before your arrival is LeBron James.Tony Parker told Yahoo Sports
Parker had pointed out that James came with so much hype surrounding him before being drafted into the NBA. He believes, at least in that aspect, it is quite the same for Wembanyama.
