Wembanyama’s Bombshell! French Phenom’s Scathing Review of LeBron James Sends Shockwaves
It’s officially All-Star Weekend, and all of the NBA’s best and brightest stars are out and about. It’s times like these when NBA fans, players, and reporters can get together to celebrate the game of basketball.
It’s also a weekend that provides unique circumstances. It’s possible that a team featuring LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant could face a team comprised of Victor Wembanyama, Nikola Jokic, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in the All-Star Championship Game.
This festive, light hearted weekend can also spark never ending NBA debates. Players find themselves in front of cameras and microphones and are often asked to compare and rank players (while reporters hope for clickbait goldmines).
Victor Wembanyama found himself in that exact line of questioning and ended up on NBA on TNT’s YouTube channel:
Wemby’s logic is sound. We doubt that’s the answer the reporter was expecting, but it certainly makes Wemby’s opinion of LeBron James perfectly clear.
At just 21 years old, Wemby has a very sound head on his shoulders. He understands the game, and has all the right answers when he finds himself in front of a microphone. Once he fully taps into his physical potential as he makes his way through his 20s (a scary thought), there’s no limit to Wemby’s ceiling.
It is refreshing though, to see Wemby, a 21 year old, understand greatness and appreciate that even a player as decorated as LeBron James can still be underrated by his fans and peers.
