Gregg Popovich, the legendary head coach of the San Antonio Spurs, is tasked with the development of Victor Wembanyama this year, one of the most impressive generational prospects of basketball in recent years.

Although Wembanyama is having a very decent rookie season, his development is still ongoing, and coach Pop shows him videos of different players like LeBron James and Michael Jordan to aid the process.

However, one player that Popovich refrains from showing videos to Wembanyama is Nikola Jokic, the Denver Nuggets superstar center who has a style entirely of his own.

"I don't think anybody can do what Nikola does," Popovich said in a post-game interview. "I haven't shown him any Nikola videos. He's a one-off, amazing, fantastic phenomenon."

The Serbian center, who has a strong penchant for playmaking and an almost flawless fundamental, is averaging a near-triple-double this year with 26 points, 12.2 rebounds, and 9.1 assists per game.

On the other hand, Wembanyama is averaging a double-double of 20.6 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game in his rookie season.
