Victor Wembanyama has only been in the league for three seasons with the San Antonio Spurs, but he is on an all-time trajectory. He is already one of the league's best players, as he is impactful on both ends of the floor.

In a conversation about the greatest of all time, that is usually reserved for LeBron James and Michael Jordan. However, former NBA champion and current ESPN analyst, Kendrick Perkins, believes Wemby will eventually make it into that special group.

At the moment, Wembanyama and the Spurs are one game away from the Western Conference Finals. That is a special achievement, as he was the catalyst that led the Spurs to become one of the best teams in the league.

With that kind of impact, most players do not have that kind of legacy in their first three seasons. However, Wembanyama already has that, so he will keep building on that moving forward.
