Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs is perhaps the most exciting young player in the NBA right now.
He may be destined for great things, such as an MVP trophy, a championship, and even more.
While speaking with SiriusXM NBA Radio, Spurs great Tony Parker talked about the team’s expectations for Wembanyama.
He said that the talented big man will need to win “multiple” championships because that is what the Spurs expect.
The expectations are high, but everyone believes Wembanyama can exceed them.
“[Victor Wembanyama] is going to have to win multiple championships because in the Spurs that’s what we expect”

Parker spent time with Wembanyama before his first season began last year.
That means he got close to the young star and understands his personality, his drive, his goals, and his potential.
He knows Wembanyama better than others and sees all he can achieve.
Now in his second year, Wembanyama is averaging a stellar 24.6 points, 10.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and a league-high 4.0 blocks per game.
He has already earned Rookie of the Year and it feels like he could be on his way to his first Defensive Player of the Year trophy.
The sky really might be the limit for Wembanyama but championship wins are a must.
The Spurs franchise has a massive and historic legacy, and they judge success based on titles.
If Wembanyama wants to earn his spot in Spurs history and become one of the best team members ever, he will need to earn at least one ring.
That will be a tough accomplishment, but the good news is that Wembanyama has had an incredible start to his career.
Parker and millions of Spurs fans want a lot from Wembanyama, but they are positive he can deliver.
