Victor Wembanyama Crowns ?Most Dominant Athlete of All Time? and It?s Not Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, Lebron James, or Shaquille O?Neal

This Fourth of July marked the annual ‘Nathan’s Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest’. This yearly event has managed to attract large numbers of crowds for several years now. And this year?s number one overall pick of the NBA draft, Victor Wembanyama, was no stranger to this tradition. Despite coming in from France, Wemby seems well-adjusted to American life as seen through his recent Instagram story.

Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs is touted to be the next big thing in the NBA. But this 7’4” Frenchman labeled this person as the ?most dominant athlete of all time? who is neither part of the NBA nor the NFL. The answer is seriously unexpected.?

Victor Wembanyama chooses this ‘athlete’ over Michael Jordan

When it comes to the discussion of the greatest athlete of all time (GOAT), the names of sporting legends from different fields often get thrown into the hat. NFL legend Tom Brady and Chicago Bulls legend, Michael Jordan are two of the most common names in this discussion.

Even Los Angeles Lakers?star LeBron James and the seven-foot legend giant Shaquille O?Neal often make their way into the conversation. But the French sensation chose someone else over these four big names. Someone who nobody saw coming.

And it was none other than the 16-time ‘Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest’ Champion, Joey Chestnut. Wembanyama went to his official Instagram account to label Joey Chestnut as the “Most dominant athlete of all time.“

Joey Chestnut has won the Hot Dog Eating Contest 16 times in the last 17 years! He has certainly earned the label of the Hot Dog Eating King with his superiority over the past decade.

And even Wembanyama could not help but tip his hat to Chestnut?s dominance. The official Twitter account of Legion Hoops even labeled Wembanyama as ?a man of culture? for his Instagram post. After all, real recognizes real.?

Joey Chestnut has many fans in the NBA

Joey Chestnut?s win in this year?s Hot Dog Eating Contest drew the attention of numerous fans on the internet. After all, his near 95% win rate is unprecedented!

It even led Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham to give him a new nickname – ?Glizzy Gladiator?.

Not just Cunningham, even Atlanta Hawks? All-Star point guard Trae Young could not help but give Chestnut a shout-out following his 16th win in the Hot Dog Eating Contest.

So, by the looks of it, Joey Chestnut is starting to win the affection of not just fans but even NBA players as well. Who knows, maybe in a few years, Chestnut will have his own segment at All-Star weekend!
