Brother Thick Mei and Wembanyama have many similarities. Both of them have explosive physical talents, with thick eyebrows playing as power forwards, with a height of 2.08 meters, an arm span of more than 2.2 meters, explosive athleticism, and solid skills at both offensive and defensive ends. Wembanyama is 2.24m tall and has an arm span of more than 2.4m, and he plays as a central striker, but he is also a talented and top-notch player. Both of them are champions of the show, Wembanyama is also a different existence, Brother Thick Mei held a 10-year NBA historical record, which was broken by Wembanyama.
Thick eyebrows were the champion show in 2012, and his talent at that time was the only one, and he locked the champion seat early. The Pelicans also did not hesitate to choose thick eyebrows, and in the rookie season, thick eyebrows' performance was not top-notch. He played 64 games at the time and was the centerpiece of the team, averaging 13.5 points, 8.2 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game while shooting 51.6 percent from the field. His scoring wasn't high, and he was robbed of the Rookie of the Year trophy by Lillard.
Although his debut was not at his peak, after adapting to the confrontation and rhythm of the NBA, the thick eyebrows of the sophomore have achieved a metamorphosis. He played in 67 games that season, averaging a double-double of 20.8 points and 10 rebounds in 35 minutes per game. And he also completely built a no-fly zone, averaging a whopping 2.8 blocks per game. In the end, the thick eyebrows beat Ibaka, Jordan Jr., Hibbert and Duncan and others, and were crowned the league's block king.
At that time, the thick eyebrows also set a record in NBA history, and at the age of 21, he became the youngest block king in NBA history and was recorded in history. In the next 10 years, no player came close to this record, until Wembanyama appeared.
Wembanyama had already caught the attention of fans around the world before he entered the NBA, and since then he has continued to play well and won the top spot early. The Spurs were very lucky, just like they drafted Duncan back then, and got the No. 1 pick through the swing, and then naturally picked Wembanyama.
After entering the league, Wembanyama became the absolute core of the Spurs, and his early playing time was limited. But he is getting better and better, and the second half of the season is already a superstar performance. At the end of the season, Wembanyama played a total of 71 games, and although he averaged 29 minutes per game, he averaged 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds and 3.6 blocks per game. His stats comprehensively surrounded the thick eyebrows of the sophomore year, and he won the honor of the block king in his rookie year, which is definitely a phenomenal performance.
In doing so, Wembanyama broke the 10-year-old record held by thick eyebrows. Wembanyama is only 20 years old, and he has surpassed the 21-year-old to become the youngest block king in NBA history.
