Wembanyama Named DPOY

Wembanyama received all 100 first-place votes from a media panel, a feat never achieved since the award's inception in 1983.

His dominant rookie season has transformed the Spurs into a defensive powerhouse and solidified his status as a generational talent.

NBA legends like Dirk Nowitzki have praised the young star for 'changing the game' with his unique physical tools and basketball IQ. The achievement comes as Wembanyama leads San Antonio into the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
