Victor Wembanyama, a 20-year-old center for the San Antonio Spurs, has been announced as the winner of the NBA's Rookie of the Year award. According to multiple sources, he was the top pick in last year's NBA Draft and averaged impressive statistics throughout his rookie season, including 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 3.6 blocked shots, and 1.2 steals per game. Wembanyama is not only the first player from France to win the award but also the third San Antonio Spurs player to do so, joining David Robinson (1990) and Tim Duncan (1998). He was also the sixth unanimous pick for the honor in league history.
Physically, the work is never going to be done.
I've had my plan for months ready for all of my body and we're going to keep discovering new ways to get better and work on my body. For basketball, there's a lot I want to work on.
It was a huge thing for me and a big thing to get.
My goals were always to have my team as best as I could and to get better as the year went on.
With no contest, it's the best country in the world for an athlete.
The culture, everything, the infrastructure, it's made for us to thrive. I'm really in a bubble. I know I'm living a very privileged life as an NBA player and there's a lot of people taking care of me every day. This award is also for them.
