Victor Wembanyama's Highly Anticipated NBA Debut

Victor Wembanyama, the highly anticipated No. 1 pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, is set to make his regular-season debut for the San Antonio Spurs. Wembanyama's impressive preseason performance has raised expectations for his debut, as he aims to join the ranks of other top picks who had memorable first games. Some notable debuts include Frank Selvy's 35-point game in 1954, Allen Iverson's 30-point performance in 1996, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's 29-point, 12-rebound game in 1969. Wembanyama will look to make his mark alongside the likes of LeBron James, Magic Johnson, and Michael Jordan, who also had notable debuts in their careers.
