Summary

Victor Wembanyama’s rise takes center stage as Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate whether the Spurs star is already becoming the kind of player the rest of the NBA has no answer for. His size, skill, defense, and offensive dominance spark a bigger conversation about rare athletes who completely change the way opponents have to play. Evan and Tiki also get into Wembanyama’s MVP motivation, why his health may be the only real question, and how he compares to once in a generation forces from other sports. The discussion expands into Randy Moss, Deion Sanders, Aaron Rodgers, and Shohei Ohtani as they search for the best comparison to an athlete who feels almost impossible to stop.

The truth about Victor Wanbaniam is this. If he stays healthy throughout his career,

0:05.1

and I'm skeptical he'll be able to. I wish him the best, but I'm skeptical based on the nature

0:09.6

of his size and just the way he plays. Like big men have a tough time staying healthy to begin

0:14.1

with. A big man like this we've never seen before, if he stays healthy, this is his league.

0:19.8

And this is all a play toy as long as he's healthy.

0:23.6

I have a tough time believing he's going to have a 10-year career in which he's consistently healthy.

0:27.6

I think unfortunately that may be something we're talking about years down the road.

0:31.6

But you watch him play basketball and the things he can do on both sides, it is his league.

0:38.6

Yeah.

0:38.9

Like everybody else, just look up at that giant man and say, we're in your league, bro.

0:44.9

Right.

0:45.5

I mean, he dominated from offensive standpoint, defensive standpoint.

0:49.5

We were joking how he blocked shots without even jumping at the time,

0:52.9

especially if it's a guard or a forward getting down into the paint.

0:56.5

He was a DPOI, right, this year?

0:59.1

So it's only a matter of time before he's an MVP as well.

1:02.9

Speaking of MVP, he was asked after the game.

1:06.9

Did it bother him?

1:08.2

Was he inspired by the fact that for whatever reason,

1:10.6

the NBA decided last night was the night to officially announce SGA as the MVP and they announced it on the court before the game? I find it very odd the way the NBA leaks out the MVP award and when they announce it. I think it's something that should be announced as soon as the regular season is over, like a big award ceremony, all right? Here are your award winners.

1:28.0

To do it right before game one of the Western Conference Finals, I find Strange.

1:31.1

And they did it in front of Victor Juan Banyama, who finished third.
