History made! French basketball phenom Victor Wembanyama just became the first-ever player from France to win the NBA Rookie of the Year award, dropping jaws and rewriting record books in his debut season with the San Antonio Spurs.
The 20-year-old, 7-foot-4 (yes, you read that right) center dominated the court with jaw-dropping stats: 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, and a league-topping 3.6 blocks per game. Think Giannis meets Kevin Durant meets your favorite anime protagonist – that’s 'Wemby' energy!
Selected as 2023's No. 1 draft pick, Wembanyama's rookie campaign has already sparked MVP chatter. Fans worldwide are calling his gameplay 'next-gen basketball' – and we’re here for it. Who else is ready to see this hoops sorcerer level up next season?
