Victor Wembanyama entered the NBA with a world of expectations, and despite a lowly record for his San Antonio Spurs after one season, what the rookie showed on the court was worth the hype.

Speaking after a Board of Governor’s meeting, Silver spoke on parity across the league and how Wembanyama helped spearhead its increase. He didn’t go a huge-market team, but he didn’t need to.
“I don’t think anybody is out there saying there’s a ceiling on Victor Wembanyama’s popularity because he’s playing in San Antonio as opposed to a bigger market,” he said.
