Lebron James: Wembanyama? He doesn’t have a ceiling…

Wembanyama became only the second player with 5 blocks and 5 steals in consecutive games, after Michael Jordan.

LeBron James comments on Victor Wembanyama’s incredible performance in last night’s game, won by the Lakers over the Spurs 123-118.

“He doesn’t have a ceiling,” James said. “He can do whatever he wants to do with his career. It seems like he enjoys the game. It seems like he puts in the work. Just from the outside looking in, I’m not with him on a day-to-day basis, but I said a long time ago how special he was, and it’s literally that simple.

“As far as your question as far as havoc [defensively], there are guys in our league that you have to account for any time you get around the rim or around the perimeter in our league history, and he sits right at the top of it, [if not] around the top, with all the greats.”

Wembanyama put together 27 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists, 5 steals and 5 blocks, the 15th player in NBA history and the youngest ever to record a 5×5 stat line and the first since Jusuf Nurkic in 2019.
