Webbanayama is among the NBA’s top 10 most followed players on social media
Before he actually played in the NBA, Victor Webanyama was among the ten most featured players on social media in the league.
The frenzy unleashed by the phenomenon known as Victor Webanyama is unprecedented. And that’s because the France center, who will be picked No. 1 in the 2023 NBA draft, “forced” the league to buy the television rights to the Metropolitan’s domestic league games to give the public the opportunity , watch him through League Pass before he finally joins the world’s top league.
Somehow, the following paradox arose after Webaniyama was among the top ten most played players on social media the NBA without even being a player NBA.
First up, and by a wide margin in the relevant list, is LeBron James, who has amassed 1.3 billion views. Steph Curry follows with 881 million views while Luka Doncic completes the trio with 736 million. Giannis Antetokounmpo sits in fifth with 522 million, while Webby sits in eighth with 350 million views, trailing behind Jordan Poole but also successive league MVP Nikola Jokic.
