WATCH: Spurs phenom Victor Wembanyama receives 2024 NBA Rookie of the Year award

The meteoric rise of San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama continued Saturday as he officially received the 2024 NBA Rookie of the Year award.

I am 🇨🇵 and i am reallly happy to see Victor happy and loved in San Antonio. It will take 2/3 years but Spurs gonna win this other ringt💯

[@ramonpunsalang3397]

I think. they might be in the Finals in 4-5 years. I don't think the rebuild can be rushed. The team will need to be revamped and n ew talent brought into the fold.

Spurs, OKC, Grizzlies gonna be a dogfight in the west.

[@bengavinact24]

He’s been just as impressive after the season as he was during. I still can’t believe we got him.

[@yungdrew9947]

The city of San Antonio truly got lucky with this gem. We will back on top sooner than later

[@jasonc3303]

And I think Wemby is lucky to be in San Antonio as well. Top tier coach, top tier system. If he stays and they do well building around him. Legit second coming of Tim Duncan

The kids are calling for, "Wemby, Wemby, Wemby," followed by the disappointed, "Ahhh..." when the Spurs owner/chairman, Peter J. Holt appears with his kids... hilarious.

[@as_ppl_33]

At 8.31, the way Pop looks at Wemby, it’s more the look of a father than a coach.
There’s so much respect between these guys…

[@ramonpunsalang3397]

Relax Spurs Nation. Does he sound like someone who will jump ship down the road? Hhis destiny was always to wear the Silver and Black from his first game in the NBA to his last.

[@franklinrodriguez6697]

7'3-7'5 that moves like that is such a cheat code plus his shot blocking is annoying . Who else has 8 foot plus wingspan
