Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs are two wins away from the NBA Finals, tying their Western Conference Finals series against the reigning NBA-champion Oklahoma City Thunder with a Game 4 victory on Sunday night.
At 22 years old, Wembanyama is already one of the best players in the NBA. The 7-foot-4 Frenchman has put up historic numbers in his first playoff appearance, averaging 23.1 points, 11.4 rebounds and 3.8 blocks per game for the Spurs.
Wembanyama, the unanimous Defensive Player of the Year, is polished on both ends of the floor just three years into his NBA career. And according to retired NBA legend Dwyane Wade, he already has “no weaknesses.”
Wade compared Wembanyama’s dominance to that of Michael Jordan and LeBron James.
“We talk about [Michael] Jordan and LeBron [James] and all them guys — we always talk about their accomplishments. We could stop right now with Wemby and say we saw someone who’s actually really good at everything. He has no weaknesses. It is incredible. And so, yes, on the defensive end of the floor, he’s just as dominant as he is on the offensive end of the floor. He has total dominance on both sides of the floor,” Wade said, via NBA reporter Baxter Holmes.
