One of them was to name his starting five in case the planet would need to be saved.

The 19-year-old Frenchman did not hesitate and named five NBA greats for this occasion.

Wembanyama told For the Win that he would choose Stephen Curry, Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Tim Duncan, and Shaquille O'Neal.

There are 23 NBA titles, 17 NBA Finals MVPs, and 14 NBA regular season MVP awards between those five. So, safe to assume that the planet would be in great hands.
