LeBron James calls French phenom Victor Wembanyama a 'generational talent'

Victor Wembanyama put the basketball world, including LeBron James, on notice when the 18-year-old, 7-foot-4 "alien" dropped 37 points on Tuesday night.

France's Victor Wembanyama went viral overnight after dropping 37 points and going 7-for-11 from behind the 3-point arc … as a 7-foot-4 18-year-old.

He, along with Steeve Ho You Fat, took the basketball world by storm when their professional team, the Metropolitans 92 of France, took on the NBA G League Ignite.

And an all-time great was impressed.

LeBron James was asked about Wembanyama and called him a "generational talent."

Several players have been called "unicorns," but James took it a step further.

"He's more like an alien," James suggested. 

FRENCH BASKETBALL PLAYER GOES VIRAL FOR INTERESTING NAME

A general manager said Wembanyama is a "7-foot-4 [Kevin] Durant who blocks shots," and because fans were able to see him play on a livestream, GMs can sell a tanking strategy for him.

Wembanyama is widely regarded as the surefire No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft next year.
