Antetokounmpo: “Wembanyama is a challenge for everyone”

LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry… The biggest NBA stars are asked about the phenomenon Victor Wembanyama. Even Giannis Antetokounmpo who is in Abu Dhabi with his Bucks. Unlike other NBA players, the double MVP had already seen the French…

I had the chance to see him play in 2021, a year ago, for the first time because my little brother, Kostas, played for Asvel, and they were teammates » he said. ” He is incredible ! I believe that in 2045, in the NBA, all players will look like Victor! There are his individual qualities, his way of shooting, his way of moving… He is extremely fast for a player of his size. He can counter and be a threat in defense. He is incredible ! »

A chance to become one of the greatest players of all time

Another physical phenomenon by his ability to swallow the parquet in a few seconds, Giannis Antetokounmpo is impatient to see the Frenchman in the NBA, and he has some advice to give him.

I think it’s just a matter of time before we see him in the NBA. For him, the key will be to keep improving, staying humble and healthy. With such a physique and his qualities, as long as he remains in good health, he will continue to progress. And that he continues to take maximum pleasure. »

For Giannis, no doubt, Victor Wembanyama will be one of the best players in the world. And even history!

He has a chance to be one of the best NBA players. Not just among players his age or in Europe, but one of the best of all time. We have never seen such a player. I think it’s a good challenge for everyone, to see a 2m20 player who can shoot and dribble like a back, counter and run so fast. We’re gonna have to be ready for this kid. It’s going to be really good!
