Imagine being endorsed by Magic Johnson not once, but twice. Back in 2023, when Victor Wembanyama entered the league, Magic said, “The hype is real. He will probably make an impact like LeBron did when he first came into the league. This young man is special. … He’s a league changer and a franchise changer.” Experts agree that Wemby’s combination of size, agility, and shooting range is unprecedented for a 7-foot-4 player. Magic’s prediction has since turned out to be true, and how. Unsurprisingly, the Spurs star has done it again.

After last night’s match against Dallas, the NBA legend was once again vindicated as Victor Wembanyama put on a scintillating display. “Victor Wembanyama will have an MVP-type season because he’s noticeably stronger, can take physical contact, and can still put the ball in the hoop, as we witnessed last night. Victor worked out with NBA Hall of Famer Hakeem Olajuwon over the summer, and we saw the Hakeem effect last night when he did the dream shake and shot 4-5 jump shots off one foot like Hakeem used to do,” Magic wrote on X.

Wemby’s solid 40-point performance against the Dallas Mavericks has definitely captured all hearts, putting him on the MVP run with stars like Luka Doncic. It is a clear signal that Magic’s early hype was just the beginning.
