Unfortunately for him, Victor exists and when SAS actually makes an effort to construct a real roster the world will not be able to ignore an alien among us.
I agree. Whatever you think of Ant, he is tangible and familiar. We’ve seen his archetype before. In Kobe, Wade, Oladipo, Jordan, and even Jordan himself was a self-admitted David Thompson disciple. Perhaps if he never heard about cocaine we’d be naming awards after David Thompson.
Wemby though has no frame of reference. You can say Sampson or Manute Bol but his mobility and feel is levels beyond what we’ve ever seen at that size. Even your grandma will watch Wembanyama and go “who is THAT guy” just because of his sheer size and seemingly inhuman proportions.
The age of the mutant is upon us, in all walks of life. Time to take over basketball.
