At just 20 years old, San Antonio Spurs' phenom Victor Wembanyama has rewritten NBA history books – becoming the first rookie ever selected for the All-Defensive First Team! 🌍🔥 The 7-foot-4 French sensation (yes, he’s taller than the Eiffel Tower’s first level!) dominated the league with 3.6 blocks per game, leaving opponents wondering if they’re facing a basketball player or a Marvel superhero. 🦸♂️
Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo summed it up best: \"For him to get first-team right away? That’s like a freshman winning ‘Teacher of the Year.’\" 📚 Wemby joins defensive giants like Rudy Gobert and Anthony Davis in this elite lineup, while young guns like Jalen Suggs earned Second Team honors.
Here’s the real tea ☕️: While social media obsessed over his Steph Curry-like 3-pointers, Wembanyama quietly built a defensive resume that’s got NBA legends doing double takes. With this historic nod, the question isn’t \"Will he win Rookie of the Year?\" – it’s \"How many records will he break next?\" 🚀
