The Alien Who Fell To Earth
Victor Wembanyama has the sports world buzzing. In this age of hype and hyperbole, it’s rare that a person delivers on the wild promises of the star-obsessed media.
Especially in the world of sports, which rely heavily on cycles of propaganda and fanfare, it’s really only the odd moment, performance, or player that truly levels up to the surreal and sublime.
The career of Tiger Woods comes to mind. Usain Bolt and his jaw-dropping performance at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin has to be in that category as well. And Shohei Ohtani’s miraculous three home run, 10 strikeout game in the National League Championship Series last Friday night also comes to mind.
All have proved transcendent figures who, over the span of their careers and in particularly bright and searing moments, elevated their craft to the point of resetting what we believed possible.
Author's summary: Victor Wembanyama shines in sports world.
