LeBron James used the word to describe Victor Wembanyama before the 2023 NBA Draft. Others reached for language from outside the sport entirely. The French phenom who had spent his pre-draft seasons at Metropolitans 92 in France's Pro A league arrived in San Antonio as the first overall selection in the 2023 Draft carrying a 7'3” frame with a wingspan that approaches 7'9”, and those dimensions alone would have made him an unprecedented prospect. What made Wembanyama something genuinely different was what he did with them – a perimeter shooting stroke that functioned in catch-and-shoot situations from NBA three-point range, a shot-blocking instinct and reach that allowed him to protect the rim from almost every angle, and the ball-handling fluency to initiate offense off the dribble in ways that centers at his height had never been asked to perform before. His 2023 Panini Prizm rookie card at #136 was among the most anticipated first-year cards the hobby had seen since Luka Dončić and Zion Williamson. PSA graded this one at 10 Gem Mint. Condition: NOS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e🏀 Victor Wembanyama won the NBA Rookie of the Year Award for the 2023–24 season after a statistical debut that confirmed what the pre-draft evaluation had suggested – a player averaging more than 21 points, 10 rebounds, and three blocks per game in his first professional season in the world's best basketball league. The San Antonio Spurs, who built their franchise around Tim Duncan for two decades and produced five championships from 1999 through 2014, built the surrounding cast around Wembanyama as their next foundational player with the same methodical approach that defined the Gregg Popovich era. The 2023 Panini Prizm set is the flagship basketball card product, and the #136 Rookie Card at PSA 10 Gem Mint is the definitive document of Wembanyama's first season in that checklist.
