More than results – Victor Vembanyama’s growth on and off the pitch
Available for over a year
Victor Wembanyama has long been considered one of the NBA’s all-time greats. The 21-year-old San Antonio Spurs center was named NBA Rookie of the Year in his debut season and was scheduled to be named Defensive Player of the Year the following season before a blood clot in his shoulder prematurely ended his campaign. Now in his third season in the NBA, the Frenchman looks poised to fulfill his potential. BBC Sport’s NBA writer Jonty Coleman and NBA physio Alex Hubelbank join Mani Diazmi to discuss ‘Wembey’s’ literal and figurative growth after returning to the court an inch taller than last season. Alex says some of the elite players he works with are just as wonderful Vembanyama as the rest of the world, while Jonty explains how training with the Shaolin Monks in China may have helped Vembanyama’s game.
