Gregg Popovich, the renowned head coach of the San Antonio Spurs, has taken on the responsibility of nurturing Victor Wembanyama this season, a standout talent hailed as one of basketball's most promising prospects in recent memory. While Wembanyama is enjoying a solid rookie season, his growth continues, with Coach Pop incorporating videos of players like LeBron James and Michael Jordan to assist his development. However, one notable exception is Nikola Jokic, the unique style of the Denver Nuggets' superstar center, which Popovich opts not to showcase to Wembanyama.

"I don't think anybody can do what Nikola does, I haven't shown him any Nikola videos. He's a one-off, amazing, fantastic phenomenon."

The Serbian center, known for his exceptional playmaking ability and impeccable fundamentals, is nearly averaging a triple-double this season with 26 points, 12.2 rebounds, and 9.1 assists per game.

Meanwhile, Wembanyama is posting impressive double-double averages of 20.6 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game in his rookie campaign.
