He has heard about it for a long time. As we all. And, finally, he saw it with his own eyes. And Reggie Miller, NBA legend and now analyst for TNT Sports, was not disappointed. On Friday, he had a ringside seat for the preseason game between San Antonio and Miami. The Spurs won 120-103 and, above all, Victor Wembanyama gave a clear glimpse of his talent by compiling 23 points (at 10/15), 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks in 23 minutes and by making a few moves that did not have not gone under the radar.
“I had the chance to commentate on the game. But this game was in San Antonio and it was an opportunity for Spurs fans to get their first glimpse of this phenomenon, which is exactly what it is,” Judge Miller. The former Pacers fullback wanted to remove one or two doubts, particularly on the physical aspect. He was reassured by what he saw. “If we look at his first two preseason matches, he has no limits.”
“Today, the game is no longer played in the same way as in the 90s and early 2000s. What intrigues me the most is the start of the season and the physical question. “At the moment, he is mainly a perimeter player, he judges. But given what he has at his disposal… He has Tim Duncan in direct line and I can guarantee you that it works one-on-one at the low position in training. (…) Add to that that he will learn the game from the greatest coach we have ever seen in the NBA, Gregg Popovich, who worked with David Robinson and Tim Duncan. So I think the sky’s the limit.”
