The buzz surrounding San Antonio Spurs' rookie sensation, Victor Wembanyama, is unparalleled. Standing at an impressive 7'4" with remarkable shot-creating abilities and elite defense, he has captured the imagination of millions, fueling belief in his potential. However, Houston Rockets' wing, Dillon Brooks, known for his provocative nature, dismisses the Wembanyama hype. Brooks bluntly remarked that Wembanyama is merely tall and implied he doesn't deserve the attention he receives.
As the saying goes, "don't poke the bear." The Spurs likely used Brooks' comments as motivation, leading to their thrilling overtime victory against the Rockets at AT&T Center. While Wembanyama's performance might not have been flawless in the 126-122 win, his impactful two-way play was evident, including impressive rejections against Jabari Smith Jr. Having secured his first victory against the Rockets, a team he appeared relieved not to join, Spurs fans have vocally criticized Dillon Brooks for his unwarranted statement.
