He’s going for MVP. MVP got snatched from him last year. He’s going for MVP.“So I’m always for somebody adding something to their game every single year. They’re coming back, not going to get it all at once. I want to see how you progress and how you develop over the years.“And right now, where we see him at, like, best player in the league? I don’t know yet. He’s almost there. Face of the league, like. Pretty close.”Wembanyama’s San Antonio Spurs last played on Friday night, beating the Golden State Warriors, who were without Curry, 123-85.He managed to score 12 points and recorded six assists during the victory, helping the Spurs go 11-2 for the season.After that tie, Wembanyama has the second-highest average in the NBA this term (30.3).Read more:Why Paul George almost got punched during 2020 NBA Bubble by LA Clippers teammate‘Jordan was never a crybaby’ – Michael Jordan fans refuse to accept Luka Doncic is better than him‘Dirty player’ – NBA fans want Draymond Green suspended for what he did to Victor Wembanyama
