NBA veteran Draymond Green had a surprisingly strong take when he was asked about Victor Wembanyama<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The NBA has a new generational talent in it’s midst, with Victor Wembanyama<\/a> developing into a truly special player.<\/p>\n

Former NBA star DaMarcus Cousins said this week Wembanyama will at ‘minimum’ be the greatest defensive player of all time<\/a>, and could go on to achieve a lot more.<\/p>\n

There is one compliment current Warriors star Draymond Green<\/a> takes clear exception to, however, a comparison to his Golden State<\/a> teammate Stephen Curry<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Steph Curry one of a kind<\/h2>\n

Warriors star Draymond Green was asked whether Victor Wembanyama<\/a> could have the transformative impact on the NBA that Curry has had over the past decade.<\/p>\n

The San Antonio Spurs<\/a> center is a truly unique player – but Green believes he is not comparable to Curry.<\/p>\n

Green told his podcast: “‘Hell no, there’s zero per cent chance Wemby’s impact can be the same as even remotely close to Steph, and here’s why.<\/p>\n

“Wemby is as special of a player as we’ve seen coming probably and possibly in the history of the NBA.<\/p>\n

“And that’s why he can’t have an impact, because you just can’t be 7 6″ or 7 5″ or whatever, being relatable.”<\/p>\n

Green elaborated that Curry is so popular because he does not stand out as an athletic freak – even though he plays in a way nobody else can.<\/p>\n

He said: “One of the reasons Steph has had such a large impact on the game that he had is because he looked like he’s everybody’s size.<\/p>\n

“Everybody think ‘I can be Steph, I can do that regardless of how athletic I am. I can learn to shoot the ball. And if I can shoot the lights out the ball, and I can run all day, and I can work on my handle, I can be Steph.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The reality is where they fail to realize is, no, you can’t, because his shot is like God given, with a God given work ethic.”<\/p>\n
