Victor Wembanyama on being the first-ever unanimous DPOY and the youngest player to win the award: “It feels great… The real struggle may have been getting to 65 games. But I am super proud to be the first unanimous.”

  3. Buckle up people, barring injuries we are fucking pillaging the awards for the next 3 years.

  4. Not just the first unanimous DPOY, this is the first time that fewer than three players received a first place vote.

  7. It never once occurred to me that Wemby had a mom lmao he seems like a figure that was just procured from space dust

  8. Everyone always saying stuff prefacing it “if he’s healthy” and all that stuff lol. Truth is he’s in year 3 and self admits to struggling to play games. Does anyone actually believe he’s gonna have a long enough career for this

    Saw it myself with Sampson and Yao these guys don’t last

  10. Good to see and well deserved. I really thought there was gonna be that one voter who voted for Chet.

  12. This quote is great ammo for the pro 65 game crowd. Imagine if we only had 50 games of Wemby a season.

  13. NBA needs to drop their search for an American star and just give Wemby the keys. What an exciting future for this young man

  14. With cautious minute restrictions the guy should be a lock every single year

  16. This is why the 65 game rule is good, Wemby has publicly said he would have played fewer games if he didn’t have to hit that minimum

  22. Between him and Shai, I enjoy how the new faces of the league have this humble confidence.

  23. Question, where are u watching? Just peacock? It says it’s available on nbc on the app but it’s not showing

  24. It’s amazing that we’re at a point where it’s normalized for players to struggle to get to 65.

  26. The most likable player out there. I love this kid and wish him continued success.

  27. Really happy some dickhead didn’t vote for someone else, he really was the DPOY with no debate

  28. I’ve never seen his parents. I thought maybe he was hatched from an interstellar egg.

    Well deserved

  30. Playing defense in the nba is super easy to me, because everyone else is a short earthling, the hardest part was getting the spurs to play me 65 games without giving away im an alien

  33. He legit the only I can see touching Hakeem’s block record. Teams are terrified to drive on him.

  36. I’m truly shocked that he won given his size and stature but good for him
