Suns star Kevin Durant had nothing but respect for Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama’s breakout 38-point performance in San Antonio’s 132–121 win at Phoenix on Thursday night.
Afterward, Durant was asked whether there’s any comparison between his game and Wembanyama’s in the wake of the rookie’s big game.
“I know that we both skinny, and I’m sure he said he watched me growing up. But he’s his own player,” Durant said. “I’m sure he’s watched so many great players in the league and tried to emulate just about everybody.
