Can Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama Join All-Time NBA Conversations?

There's an elite class of all-time centers

The NBA has seen centers such as Shaquille O’Neal dominate the sport and take over the game at the position.

There are candidates in the modern game who may find their way to that conversation including San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama. As a rookie, the 7-foot-4 center averaged over 21 points per game across 71 contests for San Antonio in the 2023-24 season.

Was that start enough to spark conversations about what Wembanyama can be in the future?

NESN’s Travis Thomas and Ountae Campbell discussed their picks for the all-time greats at the position on the latest episode of the “Hold My Banner” podcast.

You can catch the segment on YouTube as well as on Spotify.
