After the game, the 2024 Rookie of The Year was asked an intriguing question when he met with the media.

Reporter: "How does it feel? What is the experience of being a young, perhaps generational talent, a rising star in the NBA? What is the experience of that for you?"

Wembanyama: "I feel very lucky. Before every game and every day, I just say thanks and remember that I'm one of the luckiest persons alive and that I have the chance to live this incredible life... Being recognized as such is secondary. Living that as a dream is what I feel."

Wembanyama is off to a strong start to the year with averages of 24.0 points, 10.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.3 steals and 3.5 blocks per contest while shooting 48.4% from the field and 35.0% from the three-point range in his first 17 games.
