When LeBron James called Wembanyama “Alien”

Last year, in October, the 4x NBA champion shared his opinion on the 19-year-old French star. He described him as more than just a unicorn, but rather an alien due to his exceptional height and graceful skills on the court. James emphasized that the player’s unique combination of size and agility is something rarely seen before.

Wemby’s reaction to James calling him “Alien” was unique. He said, ?I?m really glad he said that because I didn?t like to be called a unicorn,? He added, ?I like it because it?s just something not from this world. I like being called an alien, yeah. It?s really what I?m working to be?something unique and original.?

Wemby appreciates all the support he is getting, but he is not bothered about the pressure around him. He even slammed his body-shaming critics for being asked to “Bulk Up”.
