San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama has openly expressed his ambition to win the NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP) award this season.
The Frenchman cemented his place in the race for the most prestigious individual award after leading the Spurs to a 136-111 victory over the Miami Heat in Miami.
"I've thought about it. I think there's a debate right now. There should be, although I think I should be leading the race," Wembanyama said, as quoted on the NBA's official website.
Wembanyama is currently averaging impressive statistics of 24.3 points, 11.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 3.0 blocks per game. These statistics put him in an elite group alongside NBA legends like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Hakeem Olajuwon, Shaquille O'Neal, Patrick Ewing, and David Robinson.
