Renck Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama couldn’t eclipse Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic, but he’s taking game to new heights

The future of the NBA dribbles between his legs, shoots 3s, speaks with a French accent and has the wingspan of a pterodactyl.
San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama is the most fascinating athlete I have ever seen in person, which includes Dave Winfield, Bo Jackson and Andre the Giant. He has reflexes of a cat, feet of a ballerina and the hand-eye coordination of a .300 major league hitter.
Nikola Jokic was the best player on the floor on Tuesday night. He doesn’t play games, he paints a canvas with his brilliance. But his reaction to Wembanyama in the Nuggets’ 110-105 victory spoke to how much the kid is impacting the league.
