In just his second season in the NBA<\/a>, Victor Wembanyama is already a household name. The 21-year-old phenom was the most hyped prospect since LeBron James when he was in high school and just like the Lakers legend, he has lived up to everything so far.<\/p>

In fact, the French giant has already become one of the most-viewed players in the league. Last season, he finished as the third-most viewed NBA player, and his popularity shows no signs of slowing down as he continues his sophomore year in San Antonio. His numbers are nothing short of extraordinary – averaging 24.4 points<\/a>, 10.8 rebounds, and 3.9 blocks per game. He is currently the NBA’s leading shot-blocker, averaging 4.0 blocks per game.<\/p>

His defensive prowess can be seen in his relentless commitment to controlling the paint. In just 79 games, he has gone up against 439 different players<\/a> and blocked 197 shots, stopping almost 45% of them. His ability to alter shots, and protect the rim has led many to believe he is a lock for Defensive Player of the Year (DPOY).<\/p>

Nah man. This is insane. 😳
