The raising expectation might put a lot of pressure on the future NBA prospect Victor Wembanyama. Anyhow, the French center seems to love it all. From athletes to analysts, Wembanyama continues to receive high praise even before his entry into the NBA, just like LeBron James. The Los Angeles Lakers star who went through a similar phase during his entry into the league shared his views on the NBA prospect.
Wembanyama who responded to the praise from the scoring leader continues to get mocked after the fans found a logical loophole in his response. Moreover, fans continue to predict the 7’4 centers’ possible landing spots on Twitter.

Representing the Metropolitans’92 in the LNB Pro A, Wembanyama is averaging 22.6 points and 9.8 rebounds with 4.8 blocks a game. The skills that the center carries are something the fans seem to be surprised by. James in an interview mentioned, “Everybody’s been a unicorn over the last few years, but he [Victor Wembanyama] is more like an alien. No one has ever seen anyone as tall as he is, but as fluid and as graceful as he is out on the floor. His ability to put the ball on the floor, shoot step-back jumpers out of the post, step back 3s. He’s for sure a generational talent”.
Wembanyama replying to James’s comments mentioned, “First of all I’m really glad he said that because I didn’t like to be called a Unicorn. I like it because it’s something not from this world. I like being called an Alien.” A tweet from ‘NBA on ESPN’ reporting the above response, has got fans firing shots and predicting his future in the comments. Here are some of the fans’ reactions:
