Wembanyama Prefers Kobe in All-Time Debate…
The 2000s in NBA history were like a Hollywood blockbuster starring Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’Neal, and Tim Duncan. These three basketball titans were like mythical creatures, appearing in the NBA Finals from 1999 to 2010, only twice allowing mere mortals to take home the championship trophy. Today, Victor Wembanyama, the new sensation, has emerged like a basketball prodigy sent from the future. Despite being the next big thing in San Antonio, he picked Kobe Bryant over Tim Duncan in a live Q&A, shocking enough to make a tumbleweed roll through downtown San Antonio.
Wembanyama didn’t escape the awkwardness either, as it seemed like he immediately thought, “Oops! Did I just admit that in Spurs land?” But hey, even if he tried to hit rewind, those words are now etched in the annals of social media history. The truth is, Tim Duncan’s legacy is ironclad as he’s considered the greatest power forward to ever grace the hardwood. But Bryant and the Lakers historically shoved the Spurs out of the playoffs more than once, convincing Wembanyama that Kobe was the cooler legend. LeBron James even called Kobe the ‘missing link’ of the 2008 Redeem Team, like the final puzzle piece that brought world basketball domination!
