Wembanyama impresses Magic Johnson<\/h2>\n

Victor Wembanyama is no new name in the basketball world and his fame has kept growing day by day garnering fans as he progresses. The latest individual who seems to have been impressed by Victor\u2019s talent is none other than the Legendary Los Angeles Lakers Magic Johnson.<\/p>\n

Johnson is dubbed as the greatest point guard in NBA history and that is why his latest comments on Wembanyama surely carry some weight when you think about it.<\/p>\n

Victor has captured Johnson\u2019s attention to the point that Magic called him \u201cthe best player in the world.\u201d In a tweet from Johnson\u2019s official account, the tweet read, \u201cI had the chance to meet and talk to the best player in the world and this year\u2019s number one pick in the NBA draft Victor Wembanyama !\u201d<\/p>\n

This bold compliment from Magic Johnson comes even before Wembanyama has even had a chance to play his first game in the NBA!<\/p>\n

Wembanyama and Magic Johnson linked up in Â鶹APP at the courtside of an NBA game and what followed was a shower of compliments from the 5-time NBA champion.<\/p>\n

Boasting a decorated career in the NBA, Magic Johnson led the 80s showtime Lakers to five championships all in the 80s. Johnson might have seen something special in the 7\u20194\u201d French prodigy to make these calls.<\/p>\n

Although Victor has got his highlights, Johnson crowning him the best player in the world might look too overboard for some NBA fans who think LeBron James is the best player in the world considering he is still a pivotal part of the Los Angeles Lakers.<\/p>\n

It is also surprising knowing that both LeBron James and Magic Johnson played for the Los Angeles Lakers and it would be an obvious decision for Johnson to pick LeBron as the best player.<\/p>\n

Perhaps Magic could have been starstruck by Wembanyama or it could have been a compliment from one of the NBA\u2019s great to help raise Wembanyama\u2019s spirits as the draft day draws closer.<\/p>\n

Johnson hailing him as the best is an extraordinary honour, especially coming from a legend like Magic Johnson although Wembanyama surely deserves that compliment in his own right.<\/p>\n

Wembanyama has a commanding physical presence that is challenging to overlook. He stands an imposing 7’4″ tall with an 8″ wingspan that appears to reach way far. Some of his most notable qualities include his physique, basketball IQ, adaptability, and capacity to have an impact on the game on both sides of the floor.<\/p>\n

These features have made Wembanyama break into the spotlight whereby he has been praised by NBA greats from all over the league. Magic Johnson\u2019s compliment is just one of the star-studded compliments he has gotten and the number of people who admire him keeps growing as June 22, 2023, draws.<\/p>\n

This is just but the beginning of more compliments that will follow as his career progresses.<\/p>\n
