The NBA enters the 2023-2024 season in a transitional phase among the game’s elite players as the previous generation is getting older and are on their way out while young guys like Wembanyama are ready to make their mark.
The No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft recently had a sit-down interview with ESPN’s Malika Andrews just ahead of his NBA debut.
They posed for a photo together and the differences in height were insane.
“Thoroughly enjoyed this conversation with @wemby ahead of The Spurs’ regular season opener on ESPN. Catch it this week on @sportscenter and @goodmorningamerica with extended versions on NBA Today and NBA Countdown!” she wrote.
