The San Antonio Spurs and No. 1 overall pick Victor Wembanyama host the inaugural NBA In-Season Tournament champions Los Angeles Lakers on Friday.

Wembanyama received high praises from LeBron James in October 2022.

"Everybody's been a unicorn over the last few years. Well, he's more like an alien," James said of the Spurs' current leader in points, rebounds, steals and blocks.

The matchup continues an impressive streak for IST MVP LeBron James, who entered the NBA as the No. 1 pick in 2003 out of high school.
