Amid the Victor Wembanyama hype this draft season, Portland Trail Blazers All-Star Damian Lillard wants people to put some more respect on LeBron James.
James was the same age as Wembanyama is now, 19, when he entered the NBA and quickly made an impact for the Cleveland Cavaliers. He scored 20.9 points per game with 5.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists over 79 games. It was his sophomore campaign, James was named to his first All-Star team and hasn’t missed one since.

On the other hand, Wembanyama is facing solid talent overseas in France’s LNB Pro A league, and he’s averaged 21.5 points, 10.4 rebounds and 3.0 blocks per game this season."He’s more like an alien," James said, adding that he’s"a generational talent."LeBron James #6 of the Los Angeles Lakers dribbles against Damian Lillard of the Portland Trail Blazers during the fourth quarter at Moda Center on January 22, 2023, in Portland, Oregon.
No matter the case, Lillard is going to be seeing Wembanyama in the Western Conference next season after the San Antonio Spurs were awarded the first overall pick in the draft via the Draft Lottery, which was announced Tuesday night.
