After marveling at Victor Wembanyama’s NBA debut with the rest of the world, Fox’s Skip Bayless has, apparently, seen enough to start envisioning the Spurs star as part of a very divisive debate.
No, not as a candidate for 2023-24 Rookie of the Year but, believe or not, the greatest player in NBA history. Or, at least, that’s the debate Bayless’s show, Undisputed, wasted little time having not even 24 hours after the Spurs fell, 126–119, to the Mavericks.
Bayless first praised Wembanyama's poise and skills before questioning if the hype and ability will eventually come together for him. Wembanyama recorded 15 points, five rebounds, two steals, and a block in 23 minutes on the court on Wednesday night despite logging five fouls.
