Victor Wembanyama, the San Antonio Spurs center, has become the first player in the 43-year history of the NBA Defensive Player of the Year award to win unanimously. The 22-year-old France international received all 100 first-place votes in the media ballot.
Wembanyama is now the youngest recipient of the award in NBA history. His defensive performance includes leading the NBA in blocks for a third straight season.
A generational talent, the French national has helped transform San Antonio into title contenders.
