French standout Victor Wembanyama cast doubt on Nikola Jokic’s claim to the NBA’s top-player crown, delivering a pointed remark while discussing the league’s elite on Dec. 13.
Asked who currently deserves recognition as the best player in the NBA, Wembanyama openly suggested the honor might belong elsewhere, a comment interpreted as a dig at Jokic. The brief exchange added another layer to ongoing debates about individual supremacy in a league rich with superstars.
Neither Wembanyama nor Jokic immediately elaborated further, and the conversation moved on without additional detail.
