When Kevin Garnett learnt that Joakim Noah was his fan, the Celtics legend was quick to apologize. Although it involved a certain level of embarrassment, Garnett remained unfazed about admitting his mistake. Thus, it is only understandable that a man of such character would never shy away from acknowledging the worth of a young NBA prodigy.

The NBA world has been stirred with the arrival of Victor Wembanyama. While the 7 ft 4 player has the power to rule the NBA scene, his recent action on the court garnered negative traffic. After facing an embarrassing rejection, Wembanyama gets lauded by his biggest fan. 

Kevin Garnett has full faith in Victor Wembanyama

Kevin Garnett has always been vocal about the pressing issues of the world. Whether it’s raising awareness or supporting people with his gentle but powerful words, he is always at the fore. Recently, the 15-time All-Star player publicly made an announcement to showcase his faith in the 19-year-old athlete.

He took to his Instagram and wrote a special message, “He has no tattoos.. No jewelry on no crazy swag yet.. BETTER ENJOY IT NOW….Looking forward to following his growth n journey. Sit back and watch this.”  

With this message, he added some more on how he is waiting for the player to launch a new era for the league. Despite Wembanyama’s underperformance, Garnett’s faith remained steadfast. He even went on to describe how he could be the future dominating force of the league and compared him with Nikola Djokovic. It seems Wembanyama is on the right track and might soon prove Garnett’s prediction right. But one of his recent actions became a laughingstock among fans as soon as it reached online.
