Future NBA star Victor Wembanyama enjoys the Golden State Warriors

Victor Wembanyama is widely expected to go first overall in the next NBA Draft. Considered one of the greatest prospects ever, Wembanyama projects to immediately revive whatever NBA franchise has an opportunity to select him. Naturally, fans around the league are searching for ways to get to know this future star better. Fortunately for them, Jeremy Woo of Sports Illustrated recently released an in-depth piece on the French sensation.

Diving into a multitude of topics in this Sports Illustrated feature, Wembanyama mentioned the Golden State Warriors as an inspiration for him. According to Woo, "Wembanyama cites the Warriors of the 2010s as a model for the type of basketball that inspires him: They won, they enjoyed themselves and they did it in style."

The dynasty Warriors are an inspiration to many, especially those around Wembanyama's age. Having dominated this era of basketball, the Warriors have won four of the last eight championships, including last year's title as well. Not only have the Warriors consistently won at the highest level, but they revolutionized the game of basketball. This era of basketball cannot be described without understanding the immense impact that Steph Curry and the Warriors had on it.

For Wembanyama, this is an inspiration of his. The future NBA star projects to leave his own legacy on the sport, and has drawn inspiration from one of the greatest dynasties ever.
