Modern day wilt chamberlain
Kai Sotto is his best match up.
Kevin Durant
I'm here to confirm that I'm not 7'3 lol
Scary thing is he literally has the potential to be a mix of Giannis and KD 😭😭
His favorite player should be Steve Nash.
As fans we should all be praying that he avoids the injury curse of other similar sized players and that he gets drafted by a competent franchise that knows what to do with him. He has the potential to be the best player of all time and the actual unicorn in the league.
it's interesting that Victor would say KD and Giannis as the players that he looks up too. Because with time and hard work, if Victor trains and builds his body the same way Giannis did, he'd basically be a tall KD/Giannis hybrid
what's he packing under there
overrated!!
2:37 big travel
Blessed kid. Good looking, well spoken and smart on top of everything else, he's gonna have millions of fans.
I hope the spurs get him. Thats a organization that can build around him
Can't wait for Zion to dunk on this dude
Nah he's atleast 8 foot 5
Naw, jit 7'5"
very smart young black man
Just another overrated twig. Nothin new.
All I hear is "Baguette and croissan"
Tank for Wembanyama
Strong feeling he’s getting drafted to the Spurs
Dude is dressed like it’s 2003
Man where do these humans be coming from lol he is justttttt idek 🤷🏾♂️ words can’t describe it honestly he just better stay healthy that’s all ill say. Everything else is not a question
Wow…. this kid is literally a foot taller than I am and can ball tf out🤯
I know ESPN was sick when he said Gianis and KD was his favorite players and not Lebron 😂
One of those generational prospects, and a unique one at that. Sampson probably the only one comparable but Sampson couldn’t shoot like him. It’s really just injuries that would prevent him from being a perennial all-nba first team guy.
Giannis and KD makes sense, hopefully he gets that Giannis muscle plan then the dude would be a monster for a long time
Nah is 7’6
If he is 7”3 then this isn’t as a big a deal as everyone’s making it, and Rudy is only 7 feet tall, and Kevin’s durant is 6”10, and lebron is 6”6 and Barkley is 6”4
He seems to have modeled the KD of present already in his ways inside and outside the court before even entering NBA, only sky is the limit for this lad
YOU COMING TO HOUSTON BOY!
I was expecting more of a french accent tbh
All of these new big guys are insanely tall and skillful. However, it’s always injury that derails them. If I’m a trainer, I’m giving these guys steroids.
Same height as PorzinGod I suppose, 7.3.I am only 6.10ft.This guy will show us a great game one day.
If Joel Embiid sticks to French national team instead of joining the US squad, French team will have Victor, Rudy, and Joel – the French version of The Great Wall, a scary team for the rest of the world.
he is LYING !
French dont use feet
First off before the interview started I already knew he was a goat when he smiled into the camera 😂😂
Porzingis faster, more agile, can shoot the ball as well. This kid is overhyped. Fools that say this is the biggest prospect ever get back at me after 5yrs when he's injured and sidelined ok?
Everybody loves him wow so how about Filipino Kai Kai sotto???? Any chance for NBA draft?????
That means Rudy Gobert is 6-11 and a half barefoot. He ain’t even a 7 footer,
This man is Porzingis just black and I bet if he were white he would not be getting this hype 💀🤣
The only other player who had comparable hype coming into the league was a kid from Akron
Victor is an incredible young man besides a generational talent. Has the make up to be a global superstar!
