When NBA veterans start running out of words to describe you, it’s clear you’re doing something extraordinary. That’s the buzz surrounding Victor Wembanyama right now.
The San Antonio Spurs’ phenom is redefining the league’s expectations with a unique mix of size, skill, and defensive prowess. His stats are as impressive as the hype: averaging 24.3 points, 11.1 rebounds, and leading the NBA with 3.02 blocks per game, while shooting over 50% from the field and 36.5% from beyond the arc.
This two-way dominance has propelled the Spurs to the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference.
The conversation around Wembanyama heated up when Draymond Green weighed in on comments from Jaylen Brown. Brown had humorously mentioned on a Twitch livestream that he considers himself the best “human” two-way player, since Wembanyama seems to operate on a completely different level.
On “The Draymond Green Show,” Green echoed this sentiment, saying, “Wemby is this otherworldly thing, man. Like, I’m not even going to say otherworldly person, he is just this otherworldly thing and everything that he does is going to take you like four people to do.
Like, he is that special of a player.”
Coming from a former Defensive Player of the Year, Green’s praise underscores just how unique Wembanyama’s impact is on the court.
In other NBA news, Green also addressed the idea of shortening the NBA schedule, a suggestion recently backed by Steve Kerr. Speaking on March 13, 2026, the Golden State Warriors veteran acknowledged that financial considerations make a reduced season unlikely.
At 36, Green explained that the modern game’s faster pace places greater physical demands on players, making the traditional 82-game schedule tough to maintain. However, he was candid about the reality of the situation: “No one is taking less money,” Green remarked.
As long as revenue remains tied to the number of games, it seems the NBA schedule isn’t changing anytime soon.
