San Antonio Spurs rookie phenom, Victor Wembanyama, spoke to Andrew Lopez about this thoughts and emotions after garnering all 99 first-place votes to become the sixth unanimous NBA Rookie of the Year award winner in the last 40 years; joining Ralph Sampson (1984), David Robinson (1990), Blake Griffin (2011), Damian Lillard (2013) and Karl-Anthony Towns (2016). He also joins the Spurs’ other two No. 1 picks — Robinson and Tim Duncan (1998) — as winners of the award.

100% deserved the ROTY congrats
Saw that coming from the beginning of his career! 👏👏👏👏
victor deserves it he’s gonna be the best player in the league soon
Well done victor 😊
Lil bro knows he absolutely washes tim duncan
GO WEMBY!! MVP soon!
He should be in the hall of fame when he grows up
We all knew this was gonna happen since the draft
Zion and Wemby need to play together one day.
Congrats wemby!!!! Future face of the NBA
The guy is 20 in earth years, but a wise sage in his home planet
Winning DOTY Too
Dpoy to.
Wemby is already the face of the league hopefully the Spurs gets more pieces around him to they can go for the title again. I still remember people said he was gonna be a bust just because he was getting lots of hype. 😅
Duh, of course the rookie of the year those long arms
wemby is it.
He is so much bigger than basketball. Just an inspiration of a human.
Remember everyone who comes to these comments all the sports platforms were saying that someone else deserves it beside Wemby every single channel podcast etc. LIterally could of been defensive player of the year but the hate in the sport of basketball is so strong its crazy.
He’s the next face of the NBA
Shaq was drafted in 92! 0:20
Shaqs rookie season was 1992 not 1999. Did he mean Tim Duncan? But his rookie season was 1997
The thumbnail looks like Wemby doing this interview shirtless 😂
He will be legendary! When he finished his career, he will be mentioned with all the greats of the game. come back @ me in 15 years from now! Phenomenal talent!!!
I am willing to bet that next year he's already putting MVP level numbers. And wether he wins or not will depend on the teams success which is much harder to guess before they make any moves…
Go victor go
NO DOUBT
Really interesting watching how NBA players supported Wemby through the season, versus… other leagues.
NBA Player: "Wemby is an exciting player, love watching him, we'll see how he ends up!" Ends up winning ROTY. NBA players take care of their own and know it's about growing the league with new talent.
WNBA Player: "Clark is overrated. Can't wait to see her fail. What about US!!!?? WHY AREN'T YOU WATCHING THE OTHER TEAMS." Will likely try to rob her of ROTY out of jealousy and spite.
Did he just say since Shaq's rookie season in 1999?!?! 😂😂😂bruh
Should be a Piston …. Le sigh
Shaq’s first season in 1999???
Wtheck ESPN 😂
So, they gave him the ROTY Award. Now we are waiting for the DPOY Award.
I got sum news, wemby lost dpoy
Nice to have someone humble as the face of the league for a change. 🤔🙂
Should’ve been Chet
Jim brown, NFL GOAT bruh.
This is Bull Chet should have won. This foreign goofy didn’t win many games . Chet in the playoffs. Wemby not😂
FREAK NATURE 7'5, 8 wingspan point guard skills 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This kid seems to have a bright future in the NBA, He was balling up Rudy Gobert when he was 16 years old 😂
Chet made it to the playoffs his rookie year and not only that top seed and swept the first round. Still happy for my boy first year!
Victor Wembanyama is the only player in NBA HISTORY to average 21ppg 11rebs 4blks 4 assists in under 35 minutes per game. Wemby recorded those stats playing 29 minutes per game.🤯👽💯
Should've won DPOY as well. 🏆💯
we love wemby
Fraudulent award Chet = +17 wins….Victor = +0 wins
