And his younger brother Oscar could be next.
The 16-year-old already stands 6'7" in height, per multiple sites, and is playing for the LDLC ASVEL U-21 team in France.
Here's a clip from last year:
Granted, younger brothers of exceptionally talented players from Europe don't always prove to be stars in their own right—Kostas and Alex Antetokounmpo haven't had anywhere close to the same success as two-time MVP Giannis (Thanasis is two years older than Giannis).
And it's far too early to tell what trajectory Oscar Wembanyama might take in his basketball career. He's only 16, after all.
But he at least has an advantageous height to play at the next level.
