Jamal Crawford Highlights The Enhancements In Victor Wembanyama’s Abilities
Victor Wembanyama stunned the basketball community in his debut season by winning the NBA Rookie of the Year award. This season, he has continued to elevate his game and recently made it into the top five of the KIA NBA MVP Ladder. After witnessing Wembanyama’s improvement, former NBA player Jamal Crawford praised him in a recent episode of the Real Ones podcast.
“At the time, Wemby had a tendency, when he set the pick and roll, he rolled and he’d stay down there. Pop [Gregg Popovich] was like, ‘No, I want him to start hunting shots a little more. Stuff that took me years to learn, he can do it and download it in five minutes. It was incredible,” Crawford said.
Victor Wembanyama is averaging 25.7 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 3.8 assists in the 2024-25 NBA season. Recently, he shared a heartfelt moment with a young fan on the court. The San Antonio Spurs will next play against the Chicago Bulls at the United Center.
REPORT: Surprise NFC Team Requests Permission From Dallas Cowboys To Interview HC Mike McCarthy

An interesting NFC team has requested permission from the Dallas Cowboys to speak with Mike McCarthy for their head coaching vacancy.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Todd Archer, the Chicago Bears asked the Cowboys for permission to interview Mike McCarthy. The 61-year-old has completed his five-year deal with Dallas, and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has yet to make a decision on McCarthy’s future with the team.
The Bears fired head coach Matt Eberflus after a 4-8 start and named Thomas Brown the interim HC. Chicago, however, failed to improve after the change and lost four of five games under Brown.
So the Bears’ brass is tasked with finding a new head coach to help promising young quarterback Caleb Williams, who turned in a tremendous rookie year despite being held back by inept coaching.
