San Antonio Spurs forward-center Victor Wembanyama is the recipient of the Wilt Chamberlain Trophy as the 2023-24 Kia NBA Rookie of the Year.
Wembanyama is the first player from France to win the Kia NBA Rookie of the Year Award, which has been presented annually since the 1952-53 season. He is also the third player to earn the honor with the Spurs, joining David Robinson (1989-90) and Tim Duncan (1997-98).
Wembanyama received all 99 first-place votes from a media panel, making him the first unanimous Kia NBA Rookie of the Year since Karl-Anthony Towns in the 2015-16 season.
In the 2023-24 regular season, Wembanyama led all rookies in points, rebounds and blocks per game, in addition to ranking fourth in assists and second in steals per game. He is the second rookie to lead all NBA players in blocks per game in a season, joining Manute Bol (1985-86). Wembanyama and Bol are also the only two rookies to lead the NBA in total blocks in a season since blocks were first recorded in the 1973-74 season.
Wembanyama became the first player to average at least 20.0 points, 10.0 rebounds and 3.0 blocks in fewer than 30 minutes per game in a season. He is also the first player to have at least 1,500 points, 700 rebounds, 250 assists, 250 blocks and 100 three-pointers made in a season.

“Wembanyama became the first player to average at least 20.0 points, 10.0 rebounds and 3.0 blocks in fewer than 30 minutes per game in a season.” Not first rookie, first player. 20 years old. Next season he’ll almost definitely have a good point guard. Legend in the making.

The best play call I have ever heard, coming from no less than Kevin Harlan, during that Spurs-Bucks showdown at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio! Anyway, congrats to Victor Wembanyama of the Spurs for becoming the first NBA player from France to win the Rookie of the Year Award! He's also the 3rd San Antonio player to become ROTY after David Robinson & Tim Duncan.

Bill Land (Oh Mama calls) is a real OG announcer for the Spurs, 20yrs. This past season likely will be his last. He shared he is battling Myeloma, a rare and incurable blood disease, in November. Give this man respect he deserves, he called some of the most famous calls in NBA history during the Spurs dynasty run. He also is committed to the team, even after breaking his wrist and multiple face lacerations right after a fall, he still didn't miss a call. Bill Land, you're one of the goat announcers.
