Nikola Jokicwho has been a one-time NBA champion, one-time Finals MVP and two-time MVP of the competition, has ventured to define the impact of the rookie Victor Wembanyama in the NBA and in basketball.
The Denver Nuggets star spoke about the Spurs’ French prodigy, who is impressing the NBA with his talent, skills as a point guard, mobility and intimidation as a center in a chassis of 2.24m. high and 2.44 m. of magnitude.
This is how Jokic sees Wembanyama after his duel in the NBA: “He is 19 years old, he neither gets tired nor scared”
“I think he’s 19 years old, he doesn’t get tired or scared. He’s playing hard and he wants to be good. Like I said, I think he’s playing hard and he doesn’t give up,” Jokic said after his NBA matchup against Wembanyama, who signed 22 points, 11 rebounds, 6 steals and 4 blocks against the Serbian MVP but could not achieve victory (Denver beat San Antonio 132-120).
Wembanyama is making mistakes, which is normal. I think the media attention surrounding him doesn’t help. But he will get used to it

“He’s making mistakes, which is normal. I think the media attention around him doesn’t help. But he’ll get used to it because the boy is 19 years old,” said Nikola Jokic, who signed 39 points (17/29 on field goals), 11 rebounds and 9 assists in their first head to head against Wembanyama.

Nikola Jokic’s prediction about Wembanyama: “He’s going to change the game 100%. He’s already on that path”
But the phrase that is going around the world from Jokic about Wembanyama is his prediction: “He is going to change the game 100%. He is already on that path.”
To all the boys….just enjoy, look at the schedule and let Wembanyama change basketball

“To all the kids…just enjoy it, look at the schedule and let the kid change basketball,” Jokic noted.
LeBron James: “Wembanyama is not a unicorn, he is an alien”
LeBron James already warned: “Everyone has labeled Victor Wembanyama a unicorn, but he is an alien. I have never seen, no one has seen anyone as tall as him, who plays so fluid and elegant.”
In Victor Wembanyama’s first games in the NBA, his averages are 19.2 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 2.6 blocks and 1.3 steals in 30.1 minutes in 17 games disputed with the Spurs.
