"I’ve been second my whole life... I’m tired of being second. I’m not settling for that."
Remember when KD said that back in 2013?
Look at Victor Wembanyama right now, and it’s hard not to see the exact same script playing out.
The resume is already legendary, but the silver lining is getting a little too literal:
🥈 Falling just short against Chet in the U17s.
🥈 Pushing Team USA to the absolute brink in Paris.
🥈 Getting edged out by Brunson and the Knicks in the NBA Cup.
🥈 Watching New York celebrate the championship on his floor.
It has to hurt. To be that great, that fast, and still have to stand there and watch the confetti fall for someone else.
But let’s be real for a second: Wemby is only 𝟮𝟮 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗹𝗱.
He’s already playing in the games that matter most on the planet, absorbing every single heartbreak, and using it as fuel.
KD eventually got his.
Wemby will get his too.
He’s too disciplined, too hungry, and way too talented for this to be the final chapter.
Respect the trajectory.
The kid is coming for everything. 😤
