Superstar Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs called on an NBA legend to train with him.

Wembanyama has made waves throughout the NBA for not just his freakish height, standing atop 7-foot-3, but the superior athleticism that comes with it.

The NBA has turned into more of a perimeter game, with more of an emphasis on three point shooting and pushing the tempo on the floor. And while big men across the league have learned to adapt to this new style (and thrive), no one has quite reached the levels of Wembanyama.

He’s been in the league for two seasons so far, and his sophomore season was cut short due to deep vein thrombosis. But prior to his condition, Wembanyama was well on his way to an MVP season.

Prior to going on the shelf, he averaged 24.3 points per game, 11 rebounds, 1.1 steals, an insane 3.8 blocks, all while shooting 35% from 3-point range.

This was all in his second season, which isn’t very far off from his Rookie of the Year campaign in the 2023-24 season.

So NBA fans around the world are wondering, “does he really need to work on improving his game?”

Oh ye have little faith.

Wembanyama is officially out for blood, and called on NBA legend Hakeem Olajuwon to work with him in the offseason, as per his Instagram.

Olajuwon built his Hall of Fame career off having some of the best footwork in all of the NBA. He would spend most of his time on the low post, and would fake out opposing big men with his patented “Dream Shake.”

With that, he has committed to teaching future generations his methods. In the past he’s trained players like Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Dwight Howard, and Giannis Antetokounmpo. He even credits Bryant for capitalizing his teachings the most.

Which is why Wembanyama went to “The Dream.” He has everything down pat. He has the shooting, the athleticism, the elite defense, even the ball handling, but the part of his game that needed refining was his low post and footwork.

Even though he’s a freak athlete, Wembanyama is still learning about his body and his limitations. Perhaps he won’t be able to run the floor like he has been for long, due to a potential injury risk with his large frame.

In order to capitalize on longevity in the league, he needs to develop exceptional work in the low post. It’s a lost art in today’s game, and he may not need it as much as if he were playing in the 90s, but it’s always a fundamental part of the game.

Fans responded accordingly, with claims that the league is “cooked,” because once Wembanyama develops a post game, he may just be close to unstoppable.
