Is San Antonio Spurs big man Victor Wembanyama the future of the NBA? The makers of the hit video game NBA 2K seem to think. They are tapping the rookie to headline Season 2 of NBA 2K24. Specifically, they believe Wembanyama is the perfect ambassador to a futuristic content pack.
“An alien life force has been detected in the NBA,” 2K Sports said in a release about the update. “And it’s touched down in San Antonio; he goes by the name of Victor Wembanyama. The only explanation for the newcomer’s massive frame, freakishly good handles, and unguardable jumpshot is that he’s from the future, where society has figured out how to create the prototypical basketball player, meaning the future has arrivedin Season 2 of NBA 2K24”
Wembanyama has leaned into his “alien” nickname since LeBron James spoke about the French phenom prior to joining the NBA. It’s a worthy theme for a packed Season 2 of 2K24.
