Victor Wembanyama had arguably one of the best rookie seasons of all time in the NBA last season. The San Antonio Spurs selected him as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft out of France, and he became an instant success.
Wembanyama’s exceptional versatility, especially considering his size, sets him apart as one of the most extraordinary prospects in recent memory. In 2024, Wemby showcased his remarkable defensive capabilities by leading the NBA in blocks by a significant margin. However, it’s his offensive prowess that truly makes him stand out. He possesses a diverse skillset, excelling in everything from three-point shooting to playmaking with his passing ability.
Over the weekend, Wembanyama was spotted in a training session alongside former NBA star Jamal Crawford. Social media platforms were flooded with photos showing Wemby and Crawford in action, sparking fear among NBA fans.

Wembanyama originally posted the image with him and Crawford on his social media account.
Many expressed concerns that if Wembanyama masters Crawford’s exceptional ball-handling skills, it could pose a serious challenge for the entire league.
“Wembanyama with Crawford dribbles would end the league”
“Is that not the scariest thing you’ve ever read? Because a 7 foot 4 Jamal Crawford is a build that would make people quit 2K.”
“I don’t think yall understand how terrifying this is…”
“finna be a animal”
“Wemby the alien is going to have a deeper bag next season.”
“He is going to be a problem in this league.”
“Well, shoot. let this man develop a true handle and it just might be over for sure lmao”
Crawford spent a good portion of his career with the New York Knicks and the Los Angeles Clippers. He was a three-time Sixth Man of the Year and is considered one of the best ball handlers in NBA history. Just imagine the 7’4 Wembanyama with that kind of skillset.
