If you have not heard about Victor Wembanyama, then let me tell you about him now.

The 19-year-old French basketball player is the hottest talent in basketball now especially when the 2023 NBA Draft is just around the corner scheduled for June 22, 2023.

Victor is the most sought-after player right now and he is projected to be the first overall pick in the upcoming draft.

His buzz has been compared to that of Legendary Los Angeles Lakers LeBron James when he was still in high school and was just about to be drafted into the NBA in 2003.

Wembanyama Is An Alien 馃懡

A difference of 20 years between the two of the most highly prospected players in NBA history but still the 4X NBA champion recognizes the potential Wembanyama possesses

In an otherwise interview he termed Wembanyama more of an 鈥楢lien鈥� than he is a 鈥榰nicorn.鈥�

Getting praise from King James is not a simple thing and you must be impressive to catch his attention, something that is hard to come by.

On the other hand, Victor has his admiration for various players in different sports ranging from soccer to basketball.

Wemby said he admires Kevin Durant who plays for the Phoenix Suns and Giannis Antetokounmpo who plays for the Milwaukee Bucks.

He went on and shared how he also draws inspiration from 2018 World Cup Winner French International Kylian Mbappe.

Talking to PSG TV, Wemby said,” Of course, for many years. I realize that we have a lot in common. One I would relate to a lot. Kylian is the player who inspires me the most, but I want to be original and chart my own path.“

Quite impressive for Victor to be inspired by Kylian but he also draws inspiration from none other than the legendary Kobe Bryant.

It is not a new thing for young players getting to or working to get to the NBA being inspired by Kobe. I mean Bryant was a 5X NBA Champion and 2X NBA finals MVP, who wouldn鈥檛 be inspired by him?

Wembanyama expressed his admiration for Kobe and how his mamba mentality has been a pivotal part of shaping his career.

Talking to EuroHoops.net, this is what Victor said about Kobe,鈥� I think about him almost every day since his death. His disappearance shocked me. I admire his spirit, work ethic, and game philosophy.

Following his example every day, I try to push my limits. When I suffer, when I have doubts, I often wonder what Kobe would have done. And I know I would have done more.鈥�

Such impressive comments and praise heaped on the former Los Angeles Lakers star. Bryant was known for being uncompromising and his mamba mentality allowed him to always be at the peak of his game.

Wembanyama credited his decisions on what Kobe could have done in challenging situations and his success is guaranteed following that criteria just like Kobe did.

NBA teams hoping to draft Wembanyama will be happy to find out the regiment Wembanyama strictly abides by and with Kobe Bryant as an inspiration, Wemby will be bringing more than talent to their rosters.

As Victor prepares to get drafted on June 22, 2023, he will be looking to live up to the hype he has been getting and with inspiration from Kobe Bryant, he is destined for success.
