Dejounte Murray reacts to Victor Wembanyama breaking his record

The San Antonio Spurs had a rough 2023-24 season, but Victor Wembanyama made it all okay. His stellar play has given the city of San Antonio plenty of hope for a brighter tomorrow, as the 20-year-old Frenchman already looks like one of the better players in the NBA.

Wembanyama concluded his season with a second-place finish in Defensive Player of the Year voting and the first-ever unanimous Rookie of the Year victory. He also earned a spot on the All-Defensive First Team. He became the first rookie to ever make the First Team and the youngest player to ever make an All-Defensive Team.

The previous youngest player was Dejounte Murray, who accomplished the feat with the Spurs in 2018. After Wembanyama broke his record, Murray showed him some love on Twitter , tweeting out some fire emojis. (H/t Ben Stinar of Sports Illustrated )

Normally, this type of thing would fly under the radar, but there have been some rumblings of a potential Murray return to San Antonio. So perhaps Murray was inadvertently praising his former teammate.

More Victor Wembanyama!
