San Antonio Spurs fans might not be too pleased about their franchise player\u2019s latest remarks.<\/p>\n
Spurs star Victor Wembanyama appeared Tuesday on an Instagram Live stream from the team\u2019s official account. Wembanyama conducted a Q&A with fans, who were encouraged to leave questions for him on the live stream.<\/p>\n
One particular question though caused a major stir online. A fan asked Wembanyama who he thought was the greater player all-time between Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan.<\/p>\n
\u201cTough question,\u201d said Wembanyama. \u201cProbably Kobe all-time. Actually, I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wemby just said he taking Kobe over Tim Duncan all time\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/lHVFZwDTzJ<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 . (@GreggPopowich) September 9, 2025<\/a> <\/p>\n It sounded like Wembanyama believes that Bryant is indeed the greater player all-time between the two \u2026 but backtracked a bit when he realized how that answer might come across to the San Antonio fanbase.<\/p>\n Between Bryant, the late Los Angeles Lakers icon, and Duncan, the Spurs legend, the debate is a good one. Both players competed in the same era in the same conference and each came away with five total NBA championships. Bryant was the better scorer and overall athlete while Duncan was the superior defender and fundamental player. In a pure greatness debate, the two are close enough that the answer probably just comes down to personal preference.<\/p>\n As for Wembanyama, who was born in 2004 and only got to watch Bryant and Duncan during the back halves of their respective careers, he has already built a strong relationship with Duncan in particular<\/a> as a fellow member of the Spurs fraternity. But even so, that was not enough for Wembanyama to pick Duncan over Bryant this week.<\/p>\n
