With a height of 7’4″ and a do-it-all game and fluidity not seen from a 7 footer since Kevin Durant, the 18-year-old French basketball phenom Victor Wembanyama has taken the basketball world by storm. The highly-touted center is considered a generational prospect and the best basketball prospect to come around since LeBron James. As expected, the San Antonio Spurs drafted “Wemby” with the #1 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft today. Coined an “alien” by LeBron for his other-worldly talent at his size, Wembanyama has been dominating the competition in a French professional league and is ready to take his talents to the NBA.

Ronnie 2K: “Victor Wembanyama is Going to Break (NBA 2K24)”
Many NBA and 2K fans see Wembanyama as the ultimate real-life version of an NBA 2K ‘demigod’ – a.k.a. a created player so over-powered and glitchy that it’s only seen in videogames.
In a recent interview on ‘The Rich Eisen Show’, 2K rep Ronnie 2K said 2K has already started talking about Wembanyama’s 2K rating and jokingly said Wembanyama is “going to break our game” when he arrives in NBA 2K24.
Ronnie 2K went on to say that 2K had a similar challenge in 2016 on how the game had to adapt to Stephen Curry’s IRL “arcadey” shooting ability and videogame-like limitless range.
