After watching San Antonio Spurs All-Star Victor Wembanyama turn in another impressive performance in a 115-102 win against the Charlotte Hornets, Keldon Johnson had an announcement about his teammate. With all the hype about Miami Heat's Bam Adebayo's historic 83-point game, Metta World Peace believes Wembanyama can score 101. The veteran defender would probably agree with one of Wembley's teammates.
Johnson labeled Vembanyama best and most valuable player In the NBA, per NBA Prime.
"The best player in the world. The MVP. If anyone else has anything to say, come to me."
