Magic Legend Holds NBA Media Responsible for “Crazy” Victor Wembanyama Hype: “Bron Is on His Way Out…They Are Looking?for?a?Face”

Victor Wembanyama caught the attention of the NBA world even before he was on the first draft for the next season. Various aspects of his game were the reason behind this, including his height. The hype about him playing has only been increasing. But one veteran NBA player is now speaking out about it.

He has some harsh words for the media. The former Orlando Magic player played in the NBA since the late ’90s and then turned analyst post his playing career. He revealed his thoughts on why the media is hyping up Wembanyama.

An NBA player blames the ‘Bron Situation’ for Victor’s hype

In an interview, Tracy McCrady talked about the whole Victor Wembanyama scenario. And while doing so, he brought in the names of the other players who share at least one facet with Wembanyama – his height. He comes in at 7′ 3.5. He also spoke about Kristaps Porzingis, who plays for the Washington Wizards and stands at more than 7 feet tall.

He said, “It’s too much. I have seen this before. Y’all act like you haven’t seen this. That s**t that Bol Bol can do? He’s not just given the real opportunity. Like I think he should. That kid is skilled. Porzingis was highly skilled when he first came out. Just like that. And hell, He’s 7’3 too. I have seen it. The hype is just crazy.”

During the interview with GQ, he blamed the NBA media for the hype created and said that with LeBron James on his way out, they are looking for a face.
