Third most watched NBA player on social networks, behind LeBron James and Stephen Curry. Quite simply a statistic worthy of the talent of Victor Wembanyama. 1.3 billion views across all NBA online media, as well as the second most watched action of the season on the clock. And he’s only a rookie.
Adam Silver and his team are rubbing their hands. After just one season, Victor Wembanyama is already one of the faces basketball and sports fans most want to see in action. Behind the essential LeBron James and Stephen Curry, who respectively peak at 1.9 and 1.7 billion views on NBA social networks, it is already the French rookie who completes the podium.

An absolutely monstrous hype which should not weaken next season, since Spurs’ results should improve and Wemby’s level of play with it. This season, he also won the second most viewed action of the year, with his very aerial dunk against the Celtics. A moment which illustrates the general public’s attraction to this phenomenon which touches on the unprecedented in almost every action. The next face of the League is certainly him, and the numbers say it.
Luka Doncic completes the top quartet, which peaks at over 1 billion views. Note that a player like Nikola Jokic, favorite for the MVP title this season, has “only” 618 million views. Confirmation that fans are – overall – primarily inclined towards the spectacular and individual exploits rather than deeper basketball.
