7?4 Victor Wembanyama Slams Body-Shaming Critics Publicly Hinting at Not Following in the Footsteps of Stephen Curry and Giannis Antetokounmpo

Victor Wembanyama has been under the spotlight for quite some time. Wembanyama is often given credit for his offensive skill set. However, on the other side, there are a good amount of fans who believe Wembanyama won’t fit in the league for various reasons. Sadly, that has only led to body shaming. Wembanyama seems unbothered by it, though. NBA veterans Stephen Curry and Giannis Antetokounmpo faced similar criticisms when they entered the league. Though these superstars proved the haters wrong, Wembanyama seems to have a different perspective.?

Since his arrival in the US, the attention has only risen. The 19-year-old gave an interview that has gone viral ahead of the NBA Draft.

Victor Wembanyama’s reply to the body shaming comments conveys a different path?

There is no doubt that the NBA is a league for the big men. With a 7’4 height along with shot-making and dribbling skills, the expectations for Wembanyama are sky high. However, fans believe his physique is not good enough to stay fit for a long time in the league. LeBron James had similar expectations when he entered the league. However, the King was built like an NFL veteran.?

Well, there are several prospects who entered the league with a similar physique to the French star. Stephen Curry and Giannis Antetokounmpo are two superstars who upgraded their build over the years. However, Wembanyama is not willing to choose their path.?

In an interview, the potential first pick was asked what he would say if someone asked him to bulk up. Wembanyama replied,?“Why? What for? You should tell others to skinny up.”

Moreover, many hoop fans believe he might not be NBA-ready. The 19-year-old had a reply for that as well. He shared,?“They can think that because they don’t know my work ethic.”?With these doubts around him, there have been rumors of another member of the draft class claiming Wemby’s place.

The potential second pick of the draft is believed to exceed Victor Wembanyama

Amid these doubts about the supposed San Antonio Spurs prospect, the potential second/third pick of the draft Scoot Henderson is believed to have a higher chance of succeeding. Considering his physique, it is safe to say Henderson will be a dominant force this season.?
