As much as Victor Wembanyama is linked with fellow San Antonio Spurs legends Tim Duncan and David Robinson around the city in which he now plays, he’s often compared to LeBron James globally. Quite the compliment for a 19 year-old who just played his 21st NBA game. The once-in-a-lifetime prospect could face the last man […]
