Spurs Fiesta 5: Victor Wembanyama Compared to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
"[Wembanyama shows] shades of a Gen-Z Kareem Abdul-Jabbar," The Ringer wrote.
"A lot of people that I didn't even know they had my number," White told NBC Sports. "A lot of people from a lot of different aspects of my basketball career, my high school coach, college coaches. [Gregg] Pop[ovich] texted me, so it was a little bit of everybody."
3. BOB MYERS STEPS DOWN
The Golden State Warriors front office is undergoing some changes.
According to ESPN, Bob Myers is stepping down after 11 years as Warriors general manager and president.
Myers helped lead the Warriors to four NBA titles in 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2022. For his efforts, Myers was named NBA Executive of the Year in 2015 and 2017.
The 2017 campaign marked the season when the San Antonio Spurs were in the Western Conference Finals, but lost to Kevin Durant's Warriors, a move that helped define Myers' tenure in Golden State.
Now, the Warriors begin their search for his successor.
