Who Does Wemby Look Up To?

Victor Wembanyama is already a household name in the NBA as seen by all the buzz that is surrounding him even before the draft. The French prodigy is projected to be the first overall pick on June 22, 2023, when this year’s draft will be taking place. By now basketball fanatics have their eyes set on him wondering which team will be able to sign him on a rookie contract this upcoming season.

As one of the most hyped prospects in recent years, the Frenchman also admires people competing in the league right now and recently revealed his favourite player.
Even though he has been getting so much attention and love from the players themselves, he has his admiration for some of the players recently mentioning the one he has been looking up to.

In a recent reaction to a video where Giannis was seen heaping praise on him, Victor said:” It’s cool to see Giannis saying this stuff, because he’s probably my favourite player, He’s such a humble guy.”

There you have it, Giannis Antetokounmpo, a Greek-Nigerian professional basketball player is Victor’s favourite player and it is no surprise that Wembanyama admires the Milwaukee Bucks Power forward.

Wembanyama also goes ahead to project his admiration for the Antetokounmpos and is thankful that he shared the court with one of the brothers. He continued in his reaction:” It’s nice to see him talk about me like this, especially because I played with his brother. They do really look alike. I really appreciate these guys. They’re really generous and humble. I really like the Antetokounmpos.”

Giannis on his side has been nothing short of exceptional since he got to the NBA in 2011 leading the Bucks to their first NBA championship in 2021, 40 years later after their last championship in 1971.

Giannis gives an early warning to the NBA about Wembanyama

Maintaining a close eye on the upcoming crop of basketball players, Giannis Antetokounmpo has recently made an audacious prediction about Victor. As the next big thing in basketball, according to Giannis, NBA teams should keep an eye on Wembanyama. It’s safe to say that Giannis’ endorsement propels some weight considering his reputation for spotting talent; after all, he was a comparatively unsung prospect himself before the Bucks selected him in 2013.

In an interview with Serge this is what Giannis had to say:
“This kid is going to be a problem. A big problem. I’ve never seen this before in my life. I saw him up close. He was on the same team as my brother Kostas. Aaah he’s taller than Rudy Gobert, but he can block shots like Rudy but shoot like KD. Bro, bro. Crazy, crazy. He like he has a good attitude. If he stays healthy, he’s going to be really good.”

Wembanyama’s NBA career is undoubtedly still in its infancy, so it is impossible to predict what it will hold for him. But it’s obvious that he already has an advantage over the competition with the backing of a player like Giannis.
