This isn’t the first time Wembanyama’s GOAT potential has been lauded. Renowned NBA analyst Chris Broussard stated even before Wembanyama’s NBA debut that the French standout possesses the ceiling of the greatest player ever.
“The ceiling, there is none. Ceiling is GOAT… He’s 7’5″, he can handle the basketball, he shoots it okay… he can defend. He’s 19-years-old, was the MVP of the French league and I know that might not be the top-level European league. But he’s still playing against grown men and dominated offensively, led the league in scoring and defensively.”
“Victor Wembanyama’s ceiling is GOAT.”
