We can finally say “the biggest prospect in basketball since Victor Wembanyama”
yeah sure, he was so good he couldnt help his team to get to the play-in let alone play off
@@user-tw6qw8fz5j neither did lebron in his first season, so what’s your argument?
@@user-tw6qw8fz5jthe fact you’re beefing with a 19 year old is insane you are 30 💀

That's the most stupid sentence. Congratulations 🥇@@user-tw6qw8fz5j
Micheal Jordan then Lebron James, and now Victor Wembanyama this new era of basketball is going to be crazy
Don’t forget about Leland
Kobe Duncan have more rings n Steph tied sooo
@@doctorgreene4429no one asked
Why mention lebron only four titles on stacked supers teams. he is about 7th all time not 2nd or even third. Mj, Kareem, magic, Kobe, Duncan all won more and Duncan did more with white players (plumbers) LOL. Let me know when he passes Duncan or Kobe.
@@doctorgreene4429 dumbest argument ever
Stats are just stats, what really makes him different/special is the way he moves as if he was 6 feet.
His peak could be insane, imagine wilt chamberlain with the handles of a 2010s guard
Yep. He kinda moves like Reggie Miller.
@@konorkaotic9657 He doesn’t have wilts power, but not a terrible comp
He's so graceful. First rookie to join the 5x5 club. Well-rounded, intelligent, bright. What a badass.
True story: I met Victor 2 years ago, when he was playing for my city (ASVEL, Lyon Villeurbanne, France Tony Parker team 🤟)
I was with my 6 years old nephew walking in the street and my nephew asked him strait UP: comment tu fais pipi en étant aussi grand (how do you pee being so big 😂) Victor answered: just like you (je vise le trou) i aim for the hole . Victor is a cool man, seriously 👍🤟👏👏👏
Hé hé hé, n'empêche, ça doit être dur pour lui de bien viser.
Et j'imagine même pas le défi que ça représente pour lui de ne pas salir ses chaussures dans des toilettes turques xD
@@lepourceletbarthelemy6555 😂😂😂 discussion de mec, mon neveu lui arrivait aux genoux 😁 Sérieusement, Victor a été vraiment cool et sympa 👍🤟👏. Je suis certain que c'est un bon mec 👍💯
Du coup chaque pause pipi est un entraînement au shoot.
I hope his eyes never get bad... :D
Magnifique... Il est vraiment gransissime notre Wemby ❤❤
He’s born to end the GOAT conversation
I believe that Wemby is going to make such an impact in basketball that he’ll be the the next player to score 100 points 20 rebounds and 10 blocks plus 5 assists and 5 steals. Mark my words people!!
this amount of glazing is wild 😅
Consider them marked.
@@poindextertunes😂😂😂😂
All true but lets make 70 points. 100 is too wild
That's a stretch
There's a reason why the Rookie of the Year award is called the Wilt Chamberlain Trophy.
Recentism and ignorance is no excuse.
Exactly
they also giving players credit (with no accolades) against greats like AI and charles barkely.
they be like: ja morant better than AI?
@@Coldskin1 I don't know. Is he? I'm not a great Iverson fan, but I'm not that crazy about Morant either.
But as a rookie Wilt took a team that was underwater, improved its record by maybe 20 wins, carried them to the Eastern Conference finals on his back, set all-time scoring records and at least was near the all-time season rebounding record. Wembanyama had a very good rookie season, but "We Have Just Witnessed the Greatest Rookie Season Ever" is an utterly absurd claim.
Nailed it. Wilt not only won Rookie of the Year, but also won All Star Game MVP and League MVP that year. Nobody else has ever done that.
Kareem Abdul jabar, Michael Jordan, and many others had a way better rookie year, especially if we talk about overall team ranking... They all forget the terrible results from Antonio Spurs. Second to last of there division.... Michael Jordan in his first rookie year made the playoff...
Hope he becomes so famous that entire country of France 🇫🇷 will watch his games 😊✌️🇷🇴
Victor is changing the game. A 7'4 dude whose a offensive god. All these newer kids were born around 2010 where 3pt shooting was very popular. No wonder people like alexander sarr are amazing C/Pgs
Did they add a 4 point shot? What in the game has changed? I’ve never heard of minute restrictions for a healthy player, is that what’s changed?
Over the years there has just been new team stuff. New players no new 4pt line though. And also the league is more of a perimeter game now
@@Jmastersoloz ohhh, so Victor hasn’t changed the game at all. He’s just taller, and more injury prone. That kinda sucks for modern fans. Sorry guys.
@@joeyboiklyyeah hes super injury prone. Only played 71 games his first season😢 minutes restriction happen when a player is so good, you look out for his future by not further agitating knocks he has suffered because he is so competitive that he will try to be in every play regardless if it puts him at risk. He tweaked his ankle in houston and stepped on a ball boys foot. Ur reaching lil bro but its cool. Only rook to put up numbers similar to d.rob, kareem, shaq, and timmy his rookie year. Stay mad🥶
Tbh Victor is the most flexible 7’4 7’5 dude ever I think if he spends more on his health he will play a ton
15:33 He didn’t make over 300 3s, he attempted over 300 3s 😆
Excellent overview. Thanks.
Here is a (very theoretical) statistic:
Wemby played 29.7 minutes per game, Luka 37.5.
If we just calculate Wemby stats for 37.5 minutes, he would have had:
27 ppg, 13,4 rpg, 4,9 apg, 4,5 bpg
Wilt Chamberlain AVERAGED 37.6 pts and 27.0 rebounds per game in his ROOKIE season.
To put that into perspective, even if he had retired after that rookie season, both of those would stand as single season records not just for rookies, but for any player in their best seasons. Only Wilt himself has ever broken either of those records. He was also blocking a LOT of shots back then as well, but they weren't officially recorded yet at that time. He was already the BEST player in the world before the end of the season, and arguably before he even played his first NBA game. Nobody has ever been anywhere near that impressive in their rookie season.
Wemby is great, but this was NOT the greatest rookie season of all time. You recency bias is obvious.
It's true but Wilt played 10/15 mns more... This is a big différence.. Wilt stays the référence for the moment.
But wilt did have easier competition and players during that time weren’t as skilled and when you have a young player at that time like wilt it’s gonna be easy so it’s debatable
Also, people analyzed 120 Wilt's games and he had an average of 8.8 blocks, having almost three times Olajuwon's blocks
@@airm9366Who said he had easier competition.You?
@@airm9366 Wilt was 23 when he joined the NBA, after a year with the Harlem Globetrotters. It wasn't easier, and he wasn't that young. It's really not debatable. Wilt put up 43 pts and 28 rebounds in his debut game. The dude played ball like he was on fire.
As a football (soccer) fan it's astounding how many different records american sports keep track of. We count goals, assists, some other stuff too, but you know exactly how many players made 30 points and 7 blocks in 30 mins or less
Futbol doesn't have data analytics yet? Over the last 20-25 years, analytics has become standard operating procedure in baseball and basketball. If it isn't a thing with futbol, yet, it's gonna happen for sure. Google "Dean Oliver statistician".
Victor and Rudy in the french paint for the next olympics tournament... It will be fun 😊
Good luck for dunking on both of them >_
Any that’s not fair because Rudy can just stay by the paint and Vic is ight on perimeter defense 😂
🔥 video
The 300+ three's though 😆
😂
First ever RotY & DPotY!!! Let's Go Wemby!!!!
Did he win dpoy?
@@moreplugs Nah
Wemby gonna start averaging a quad double lol
He attempted over 300 threes he only made 128 but that still pretty damn good for a rookie center
Like Jordan. It’s the worse part of his game.
Oh ok..
42% from 3 as a rookie is pretty damn good for any position I think
@@derrickselling8391 not only as a rookie, 42% from 3 is great even if youre a star
We are in the presence of the next idol of the next 10 to 20 years, his talent is undeniable, as current idols say, no matter what commentators or fans say, his future is undeniable, and we will see the dawn of the great idol of this century. greetings santiago de chile
2nd frenchy to get 5by5 after batum.. he would soon be 2nd french to get DPOY after his mentor rudy.. and they bot cool like dream team drown in paris2024 paint with no 3sec rules .. henhenhen
Before Rudy, Joakim Noah (also a French international) also got DPOY! So he will be the third French DPOY 😅
@@Azumashidahe has the potential to be the first French international with a DPOY and MVP, and of he's the only of Noah and Gobert to have 20ppg season
HOLY THATS CRAZY
Hope to see one next year
ss as a logo is wild but nice documentation
This guy ain’t a unicorn, he’s an alien 👽
3:57 Dude is close to Shaq-ing the heck out of that board.
7:18 still one of my favorites
*Victor Wembanyama is already a pioneer in sports history.*
*#GOSPURS*
He's one hell of a player and we are going to be contending for the championship next year GO SPURS GO
The only problem is the spurs finishing 2nd to last in the rankings... That's what you can call very bad results for the team.
You know a player good when you watch them and just be like wtf was that 😂 future goat 100+ scorer
He can break all records ever where longevity isn’t a factor
THE ALIEN!!! 👽👽👽
Some other Centers who excelled in blocks, steals and assists were- Bill Russell, who invented the block shot run the floor, pass and dunk fast break.(6'10 with a long wingspan.) Wilt Chamberlain, who played a year for the trick passing Harlem Globe Trotters before the NBA. And who was the greatest rebounder of all time.(7'2). And Lew Alcidor/Kareem Abdul Jabbar, who lost 3 games in College(not the Finals). And was the all time leader in NBA blocks and points. He played to the age of 43.(7'3).
He can do everything but my most favorite thing is he is very hard worker
Stop it. Oscar Robertson averaged 30-9.7-10.5
even david robinson and shaq had a better season
Against plumbers and less than 20 teams
Didn’t Magic Johnson drop 40 in the nba finals as a rookie
And won without Kareem
@@Thorcat001that team was stacked
@@saruman1700 stacked? Nixon ?Wilkes ?
Wemby is a great young player, but let’s not say he’s had the best rookie season ever. Wilt was 37pts / 27 rebounds a game. He won rookie of the year “and” MVP. Thats why the Rookie of the Year trophy is called the Wilt Chamberlain Trophy. We can give Wemby his praises without over exaggerating
Yes but you have to realise the difference on competition at that stage for this era wembys is way more impressive
Though I have high hopes for the boy, I don't think you can really compare his rookie campaign to either Duncan, Robinson, Robertson, MJ, Bird, or Wilt.
why not? did you even watch the vid? lawl
@@edwardpark247 Yes, I did. For one thing, aside from being all-time great players, those guys had an immediate impact on their team's ability to win games, Wembanyama not so much. The potential is there, as I mentioned, but the hype around this kid is ridiculous. I'm going to reserve judgement until the Spurs start winning games. That's why they play the game, after all.
@@avrivah1101 Please watch the video again. You're either being uncharitable or you're just hating on Wemby for no reason.
And remember that Manute Bol was actually in his forties when he was drafted, making wemby the only true rookie to lead the lead in blocks
Wilt Chamberlain rookie year: 37.6 points per game, 27 rebounds per game, 2.7 assists per game, Rookie of the Year, All Star Game MVP, NBA League MVP. Only player ever to get all three awards simultaneously.
Wamba Wamba!
This Tittle in Really accurate !! Thanks
Wemby is going to be the greatest to ever do it when his career is done.
This video feels like it was voiced by an ai
Wemby was amazing this season. If he stays healthy, he will be a top-5 center lifetime
Top 5 centers? Which other 4 centers come to mind, exept for Wilt?
@@muskelpaulkleber7413 shaq kareem hakeem drob bill Russel its debatable
@@BrentWhitsonsFather No. Imho it is not. Wemby is the full package. He can handle the ball, drive, pass, block, steal and shoot. All other centers were very good in the low post, but that's basically it. Russel never showed a cross over dribble spin move drive. Hakeem never hit any logo-3s.
Shaq didn't even hit freethrows.
When it comes to being the best basketball player, Wemby is already the best center in history, because of his ability to actually play basketball.
Considering the fact that he just arrived in the US and had to adjust to new rules, a new gamestyle, a new schedule and a new life, there is a lot to expect.
If he stays healthy, that is.
@@muskelpaulkleber7413 I agree that wemby is the full package but he is NOT top 5 all time, wemby still has things like as turnovers and efficiency to catch up on and work upon his basic skills. He still needs the rings and accolades to back everything up. Once his career is over i too see him being the best center in history
@@BrentWhitsonsFather Dude, we are talking about the following claim: "If he stays healthy, he will be a top-5 center lifetime".
As a spurs fan. Ain't no way he hit over 300 3s this year.
you can tell he’s ver aware and wants the have an all time great career
He can and will break all of them, as long as he doesn’t break a bone first
scue your french bro at the end over 200 3s lol
Greatest rookie season is larry Bird's rookie season. With just him added to the celtics team, from the prvious cellar dwelling position of 29W-53L, the celtics went on to have the league best record winning 61 games. They also went to the eastern conference lineup where they eventually lost to the much talented Sixers led by Dr. J. at six games. The next year on his sophomore year, they won the NBA championship.
Nobody comes close to larry Bird's rookie year, his impact to his team in his rookie year.
To the narrator plz stop calling victor a “ KID” he is a young man.
Wemby is incredible but how do you measure a rookies contribution? In 1979 the Celtics were 29-53. In 1980 they kept the starting 5 but added a rookie and they went 61-21.
We all know Michael Jordan holds the eternal record for most points in only 15 regular seasons in the NBA and won 6 titles (40%).
Jordan is the NBA GOAT and this fact will be written in stone for decades to come.
LeBron and others scored more points *in more than 15 regular seasons*.
My respect to LeBron James for playing more than 20 seasons and his record of more than 40,000 points in the NBA, but he did not surpass MJ.
LeBron spends $1.5 million a year on training and nutrition, and missed the chance to break Jordan's record of 15 regular seasons.
LeBron did not win 6 titles even in his 20 regular seasons (2003-2023).
Larry Bird and Magic Johnson chose Michael Jordan as the NBA GOAT, because of MJ's plays that they witnessed.
Wilt Chamberlain was tall and athletic, but he didn't win 22 NBA awards like Michael Jordan did.
What would have happened if MJ hadn't retired in 1993? I would have obtained more records and even an additional title...
Phil Jackson believes the NBA GOAT is Michael Jordan: czcams.com/video/qlLOc_xRb_c/video.html
Phil Jackson won 11 rings:
. 6 rings with Chicago Bulls and Michael Jordan, and
. 5 rings with Lakers and Kobe Bryant.
NBA GOAT
Career Points Per Game Ranking:
1.Michael Jordan 30.12 points
2.Wilt Chamberlain 30.07 points
3.Luka Doncic 28.40 points
4.Joel Embiid 27.85 points
The NBA record for points in a single game is held by Wilt Chamberlain, who scored 100 points for the Philadelphia Warriors against the New York Knicks in 1962.
Bill Russell has 17 NBA awards, including 11 NBA championship rings.
Jordan has 22 NBA awards.
I dropped the mic right here (enough data).
Jordan was MVP 6 times in 6 NBA Finals and won 6 titles in only 15 regular seasons.
Jordan has 6 NBA championship rings (6 MVPs in those finals), 5 times regular season MVP, 3 All Star MVPs, 1 time named best defender of the year, 1 time rookie of the year and other awards.
Jordan was the NBA's leading scorer 10 times from 1986-1993. He left the NBA for a year and then won the same award from 1995-1998.
In the 86-87 season MJ scored a record of 37.1 points per game.
MJ won *Regular Season MVP* 5 times which is *tied with Bill Russell* (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has 6 regular season MVPs in his Hall of Fame career with the Bucks and Lakers).
Oh, did someone erase Kareem Abdul Jabbar from the record books? Weird.
Also so many of these records mentioned were probably crushed by Wilt's rookie year, when blocks weren't tracked yet.
@@aidangibbons4131I don't think the competition was that tough in those 2's era, you can't ignore that fact. It's much harder to become the best today because you have to play against professional basketball players who makes more money if they good lol
Wilt laugh laugh at Victor wembanyama breaking his 100 points game record ,,
@@aidangibbons4131 Wilt's rookie year was...well, you can look it up. I do remember the 27 rebounds PER GAME, though.
Who could have imagined a 7'4" shooting guard would take over the league?
Wilt/Kareem caliber, but smoother and more rounded.
I don't think the title is true without some caveats. Yes this is mostly the best rookie season if you factor in the # of minutes played statistically. We can only project how much of an impact he would've had if he played minimum 36min (based on his late play at the end, it's massive). It's a shame they did the Sochan experiment, the Spurs would've had quite a bit more wins if they went with Tre from the get-go.
Best rookie ever and only managed 20 wins damn that bar been dropped real low.
Do you not see his team it’s like y’all act slow on purpose
@@yougotgamesonyophone5045 Bro they got the same record as last year. To me best rookie ever means getting stats and impacting the game. Taking your team from damn near last to atleast middle of the pack. I know its not a one man game but to be annointed as the best rookie ever and not get your team any closer to the top is missing the most important ingredient. "Winning".
I agree. Chet helped his team climb from 10-1 and Wemby didn't move the needle. Empty individual stats.
5:12 👀 🤣🤣🤣
@5:12 the spurs were what ?
🌬️
No we haven't. This is historic season for sure. But pump the break on the greatest rookie season hyperbole.
Thank you.
I assume you’re talking about Larry Bird. But you’re missing tons of context, my friend. One there was a huge coaching change that year. Two, their leading score Archibald was injured in 1978 with a torn Achilles. He was still recovering, which is why the team was so bad. He was the leading the league in both scoring an assists before his injury. So the team in 1978, 1979 was hit with the injury bugs, which is why they fell so far. In 1980 they recovered from their injuries, change their coach and added a superstar rookie which led to one of the greatest turnarounds in league history. Huge larry fan, but let’s not pretend that it was ALL Larry, context matters.
Did I also mention that McHale and Parrish also joined the Celtics in 1980? Think I forgot that one so again it wasn’t all bird. His team was built from the draft / trades from day one
@@Thorcat001 Bird is a good example and I hear you on all these arguments. All pretty damn good ones. But I will give you three words. "Westley Freaking Unseld".
@@Thorcat001 I don't even consider Wilt Chamberlain because he was a DemiGod amongst mortals and would still dominate today if he chose to not avoid hurting people.
He just needs to master trash talking and he'll be a true Frenchman.
The swears live on TV he did already tell you he's a real french... We see boobs and real swear without BIP on TV since ever and never get offended for it .... 😉😉
All while only playing 30 mins a game!!
Shaq: Wemby is like Bol Bol.
Jordan scored 28 per game his rookie season, compared to wemby's 21 ppg. Wemby's length is ridiculous. We thought KD was dangerous...I agree that wemby, if he can stay injury free, will be the next face of the league. Better a player, than Adam silver or a referee
Jordan played 38 minutes in his rookie season.
@@Ebriel0000000 wemby is 7ft+ and without MJ would have been a volleyball player
@@BEFREE3 MJ is a genius and maybe the greatest but he didn't invent BB. Without him, Wemby would play BB like his mother and his mom's father and mother. Anyway Jordan scored 28 his rookie season but played 10 minutes more, so what are 7 points in 10 minutes when you make 5 boards less ? Not the same kind of player at all. I'm afraid you're arguing about nothing.
@@Ebriel0000000 maybe the greatest? you just exposed yourself
@@BEFREE3 Some say it's MJ, some say it's LeBron, some say it's Wilt : i don't want to argue about that, so i say "maybe". My own opinion is that MJ is the best but that's not my subject here. If you want to talk about that, talk to somebody else. I said 7 ppg more with 10 minutes more and 5 boards less are not as meaningful as you pretend. You are the one who exposes yourself as a dyckrider. If you were an expert, you would find an legit answer.
I just hope he stays healthy and more importantly never puts himself over the game like Lebron did.
I think in 20 years people will refer to basketball eras as BW / AW (before or after Wemby).
👏👏👏👍
wow
All time rebounds point and blocks
Idk bout points that's hard LBJ gonna have that for a long time
2026: most quadruple doubles in a week... :)
What about that one guy on the Pelicans? He was supposed to be the new face of the NBA after LeBron
The amount of people who discredit or forget wilt Chamberlain is insane, wilts rookie season he averaged 37 27 won ROY and MVP was #1 PER and #1 Win shares. Its wilt and then theres everybody else
Numbers are great I guess...
Roty, dpoty. Easy.
If no major injury, he’ll be one of the greatest… probably another GOAT argument…
Magic’s rookie season was 18-7-7, with an all star appearance, chip and finals MVP for comparison. Also played every position in the last finals game
The lakers wasn't magic's team when he was a rookie, it was jabbar's team. Larry Bird made the celtics his team the first game they played.
@@rap3208 that’s not the discussion, the argument is greatest rookie year
@@retrovintageaddict2492 As I have said the greatest rookie year was Larry Bird's. What don't you understand?
@@rap3208 no chip, no finals mvp. He got rookie of the year though. Also never played all 5 positions to win a title. better season statistically, but when talking about greatness, it’s not comparable. Amazing season though, but couldn’t close out the year the way Magic did. But if we’re talking statistics, then Oscar Robinson and Wilt were greater in that regard.
Mbappenyama
Good video but "history" also deserves a shout out: eg. Wilt, Oscar Robertson, Bird........ etc
If anyone is going to get the NBA’s fifth quadruple double, it’s Wemby
Hes great but so was Michael Carter William's when he had a green light. He didnt bring wins to the team and is on holidays. Individual Stats are hollow. Chets numbers werent as good but hes breaking rookie playoff numbers and helped his team to number 1 in the wesr.
i think he has the best chance of getting a quadruple-double with blocks.
As a european watching football I always ask myself, why dont you just say how many threes or points he made instead of awards like 5x5 and triple double double❤
🇨🇵 wemby🇫🇷 💪
300 threes ?? That's not true (penultimate record mentioned)
Glaze
Wemby only had 128 3-point shoots this season so how did he break the 300 record? 🤔
In France I suppose. He have betwenn 80/85 % success in all shoots.
300 attempted maybe?
@@airm9366 Yes indeed. 300 attempted, not made.
NBA IS NOT NBA ANYMORE. I don’t see all this talent…. I see a giant.. nothing more.
Ray Charles don't see neither.
Tim Duncan but flashy
Victor is wilt chamberlain incarnate 😂😂😂
Spurs need to cash out and get him some help. He has to break records just for them to win
How about 7foot7 tacko Fall
How about 40,20 dude ?
Why is Wilt ignored so often? I guarantee he has a much longer rookie double-double streak. He set all time records for ppg and rpg in his rookie season (not just for rookies, for any season by any player). To this day, these records have never been beaten by any player in any season of their career not named Wilt Chamberlain.
Victor had the best statistical stats but lebron had a better rookie season aka stat inflation
Despite being pushed to the moon by the media and NBA, Wemby could not lift Spurs into playoffs😅
spurs weree never gone to push play off ever , only 3 young player to build around (wemby,sochan,vassel) ,the rest are piece to trade
It wasn't there project... They've tanking, and can probably tank next season too.
and people think Chet deserves the ROY lol.
How do the Spurs keep having 1st picks when an absolutely generational talent is on the board! What do they have on the NBA where they get a #1 pick every 20 years that is franchise making!
He broke many records that nobody ever talks about before i oove him as a player but jesus christ these records are so dumb
