Last week, the San Antonio Spurs star was named as the 2024 Rookie of The Year.
Via NBA Communications: “Victor Wembanyama received all 99 first-place votes from a media panel, making him the first unanimous NBA Rookie of the Year since Karl-Anthony Towns in the 2015-16 season.”
Following the big announcement, Fanatics posted a video of Wembanyama.
