Rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama could become the first professional basketball player to earn $1 billion on the court.
The 7-foot 4-inch tall French phenom, who turned 20 on January 4, was selected by the San Antonio Spurs with the top pick in the 2023 National Basketball Association draft. The team signed him to a four-year, $55.2 million rookie contract, the largest possible deal under the US league’s current labor agreement.
