It's funny that when the keyboard warriors saw a talented player popping up, they began to ask him if he was the next James. I don't understand, how did you compare each one to one god when Black James was there? The reason why someone asks this question shows that a large number of people are the same as keyboard warriors, and they don't look down on James in their hearts, but once they find out which person is talented, they start to compare with James.
This shows that James's talent is obvious to all, including in the hearts of keyboard warriors. Neither blowing nor black, James' dominance at small forward is O'Neal's dominance at center.
But Wembanyama is too difficult to be James, I don't think it's possible. First of all, James's ultra-long standby body is 99% of professional players who play in the NBA——— you need to pay attention to one point, your high jump, long arm span, good shooting feel, strong explosiveness, and deep physical strength can be your talent as a basketball player, in fact, it is also a talent that you can do without too many injuries after increasing the amount of training. Don't ignore him, there are many professional athletes who have been ruined by injuries, but James is almost 40 years old and can still single-handedly reverse the Western giants on the road, and it is still when his team is not as strong as his opponent.
Secondly, Wembanyama's style of play is not destined to be the same as James, Wembanyama has a soft touch so that he can pull to the outside to shoot three-pointers, and it is not Wembanyama's strength to rush in like a bulldozer, but Jokic's style of play is more suitable for Wembanyama than James.
For a rookie, gaining muscle is a must, and it can be seen from the last game of the Spurs' upset of the Thunder that Wembanyama has made a lot of contributions. His confrontation has improved significantly from the start of the season, and his muscles have been slightly contoured. In addition, he also needs to improve his experience in rebounding, defense, etc., many balls are not because of his talent, but because his lack of experience is just snatched by senior players who are more senior than him.
I'm now fantasizing about this, can he lead France to a head-on win over the United States in the 2027 Men's Basketball World Cup?
All in all, Wembanyama is on the right path under Popovich's guidance, unlike many talented rookies on other teams, who either fall into an irrational style of play and have saddled themselves with injuries and wasted precious time in their careers, or they have lost their self-confidence by constantly losing. I wouldn't be surprised if the Spurs were contenders for a playoff spot next season, because Wembanyama is really capable and he's really talented enough to make a huge impact on his team in the game.
The Spurs currently have a bottom-three record in the league, and theoretically they can try their luck again to draw another No. 1 pick in this year's draft, wow, then the Spurs will be happy. If Presti can work for the Spurs, then the future of the Spurs really doesn't have to worry about it, Spurs fans must miss him, and I don't know why he left at the time
