You had a front row seat to Victor Wembanyama all season. What improvements have you seen with his game that some of us from a distance can’t really see? Sean Elliott: There have been subtle changes for sure to his game. I think for one, he’s learning how to play in the post area a lot more. He’s adapting to the physicality of the game.

Sean Elliott: I don’t think there’s really any similarities on the court. I’ll be honest with you, I think they’re completely different players. Victor gets compared to David [Robinson] and Timmy, but he’s a completely different player than both of them. He’s unique.

Q. If you could put together a starting five of entertainers on your basketball team, who would you have?

He has this indicator for good athletes, when they walking on their toes… This is an underrated pick: Rowdy Rebel. Dave East for sure, he’s 6-6… And I have to go Cole, J Cole, okay? He actually worked out, played in the league. Читать дальше...

Man I’m just playing with the homies who just is probably, just a little bit better than me! You know getting dubs though, getting wins, getting dubs, getting kills’.
