“Been Playing this Game Longer Than You’re Alive Son”: Victor Wembanyama, the Biggest Prodigy Since LeBron James, Raises Expectations Ahead of 1st Season

Already a world-class player with his skills, smart decision-making, and relentless drive to win, 38-year-old LeBron James is all set to step in his 21st season. The whole NBA fraternity is witnessing the fair share of longevity displayed by the still ?quite strong? play of the small/power forward of the Los Angeles Lakers.

However, the recent comparison with the 7?4 rookie is moving the winds in the opposite direction. With attention drifting from LeBron James to Vic, will the rookie handle his first season as the former did?

LeBron James Is a Forever Name in the League

With his 39th birthday just around the corner, James is all set to start this 21st season with a bang. With the ‘I feel different. I am not 21 years old, that?s for sure? statement, the face of the Lakers has no hesitation, acknowledging the increasing years.

However, there?s another Jr. entering the scenario, with height being his advantage. And no doubt, with the recent games, he is definitely considered the next James.

In a recent interaction between Amin Hassan and Charlotte Wilder on the former?s YouTube channel, the following revelation came to the top. Amin said: ?Victor?s not going to be as great as he be will be one day. LeBron isn?t as great as he once was. But yet they are still going to be really really really good players.?

When asked about what he feels about the age gap and potential of the new player, and if he can take over James’ career, Amin said: ?Not like he?s old and he?s young, no like ?I have literally been playing this game longer than you have been alive son?.?

The young teenager with a little of ‘Pistol-Pete’ Maravich, a hint of Kevin Durant, referred to as Victor Wembanyama, has just witnessed three preseason matches of the NBA and is already set for a billion-dollar contract.

As per ?Steph? he has got the ‘cheat-code-type of vibes?. And along with that, charisma is doing its trick to fend the rookie a great deal of attention. If we take all this into account, then the “next best NBA draft prospect after LeBron James” seems like an accurate title to describe his potential.
