Dwight Howard makes wild Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama top 3 all-time claim

The San Antonio Spurs and Victor Wembanyama continue to draw massive attention as the NBA Playoffs approach, and this time, Dwight Howard added fuel to the hype. During a recent appearance on Yahoo Sports, the former All-Star made a bold statement about the Spurs star.

He said, “Wemby, I think he’s going to be at least, top three all time.” The claim landed hard. It sparked immediate debate. And it placed another layer of expectation on the young Spurs franchise cornerstone.

Dwight Howard did not stop there. He expanded on what makes the Spurs phenom special and why he believes the ceiling is so high.

“I love Wemby, I think he has a chance to be one of the greatest. I love how he attacks the basket. He’s dunking everything in the paint. But then if you stop that, he’s turning around and fading right over the top of you, and you’re not going to block it. So shout out to Wemby I think the Spurs, they’re my favorite to win a championship this year if he’s healthy.” The praise felt complete. Skill. Versatility. Impact. All covered.

Spurs build momentum behind Victor Wembanyama

Because of that belief, the focus now shifts to how the Spurs respond on the biggest stage. San Antonio closed the season at 62–20, securing the No. 2 seed in the West. That record reflects consistency. It reflects trust in their system. More importantly, it shows how quickly Wembanyama has elevated the group.

Under the bright lights, expectations rise. The Spurs’ first-round matchup against the Trail Blazers will test that growth. Playoff basketball slows down. Every possession matters. Still, Wembanyama changes the rhythm. He protects the rim, he stretches defenses, and he forces adjustments with every touch.

At the same time, the margin for error shrinks. Health matters. Execution matters more. If everything aligns, this team has real potential to make a deep run.

So now the question stands: can the Spurs and Victor Wembanyama turn bold praise into a statement run when the NBA Playoffs begin?
