Wembanyama: I’m the NBA’s Best (When Healthy)

Forget overpriced seminars or advice from pseudo-influencers on social media who promise to boost your self-esteem. If you don’t feel confident, take a few minutes and listen to Victor Wembanyama. Impatient after a month of watching his team “from the couch”, Wemby feels “ready” for his return on the night of Saturday to Sunday in the semi-final of the NBA Cup.

And he took the opportunity to sell himself a little more. Asked by ESPN to know who was the best player in the NBA “at the moment”, the French giant did not hesitate for long. “I think Jokic is the best in attack. I don’t think he’s the best player. It’s hard to say. It was between Giannis (Antetokounmpo) and Shai (Gilgeous-Alexander). When I’m back on the floor, I think it will be me,” he assures.

Barring a last minute mishap, Wembanyama will return to competition tonight after a month off (12 matches) for a left calf injury. “It was hard to see the team on the road, experiencing things, growing. I was champing at the bit for a long time but it’s over, he smiled at a press conference. I am the most attentive injured person in the world. I want to see all the imaging, all the analyses, I want to make sure there is no negligence. »
