The race for the award of Rookie of the Year in NBA sees Victor Wembanyama clear favorite but the performances of Chet Holmgren and Brandon Miller do not make the award so obvious.
The Frenchman will hardly receive the palm of best rookie because he is growing day by day and continues to grind out records. The expectations on him so far are totally fulfilled but the performance of his two colleagues is also to be taken into consideration.
For Kylian Mbappé, Paris Saint Germain star and Wemby’s compatriot, the discussion is already closed. The footballer, in fact, has re-posted a photo of the San Antonio Spurs basketball player in a story. Along with the image an eloquent caption: “ROTY? 10000%” complete with a tag to the friend and the alien emoji that is increasingly being used on social media to refer to Wembanyama.
The endorsement came a few hours ago after Wembanyama’s monstrous performance against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Mbappé also reiterated the point in comments on the post he republished, again writing “ROTY” with a green tick, indicating again that the award is now a done deal. A comment that quickly garnered tens of thousands of likes.
