It didn't take long, but Victor Wembanyama is already closing the gap that separates him from some of the best centers in the NBA. The second-year superstar continued to assert himself in the conversation of the best big man in the league behind his stellar play and he may had made a major statement towards that claim in the San Antonio Spurs-Denver back-to-back.

The three-time league MVP returned the compliment by calling Wembanyama “one that’s going to be remembered forever.”
