Victor Wembanyama has become one of the most popular players in the NBA after just one season.
Many people think that he has the potential to go down among the best players in league history (and become an All-Star as soon as 2025).
He is currently playing for France who will participate in the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
Recently, Wembanyama had an unbelievable dunk while he was practicing (h/t WembyMuse, @FRABasketball).
