LeBron James has seen just about everything during his 23-year NBA career, but even he admits theres something completely different about Victor Wembanyama.The 22-year-old is doing some never-before-seen stuff in his first-ever NBA playoffs and LeBron is in awe.Hes not the first guy in our league thats been tall, James said speaking on the latest episode of his Mind the Gamepodcast. Hes not the first guy in our league that had length or been tall, hes not, so we can nip that in the bud right now guys. And yes, it is a factor because his length, his size, the way hes able to cover a lot of ground, especially defensively.But when we talk about what hes able to do offensively. His ability to put the ball on the ground, weve seen him iso-ing multiple Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert multiple times on the perimeter. Hitting him with snatch-backs, spins, up-and-unders, dream shakes, fadeaways. Weve seen him cross-dribble, step-back out of the corner for 3. His ability to catch and his coordination, which sometimes looks uncoordinated, but its because of his length. His ability to catch the ball with his back towards the basket, or half his body, and be able to find the rim before he even lands, that is coordination that weve never seen before and its not just because hes tall. Its because he has the ability to do things that we havent seen in our league like, ever.James made it clear that Wembanyamas dominance is rooted just as much in intelligence and mentality as it is physical gifts.Related Article: NBA Teams Contacting Rich Paul About LeBron JamesBut his IQ, you can tell by the way he talks, you can tell by his demeanor he knows the game, James continued.
