CBS News reported that Spurs center Victor Wembanyama, 22, is "the new face of the NBA." The network's video, a 60 Minutes interview with the player, makes that case in a short summary that accompanies the piece.
According to the CBS News summary, Wembanyama can dunk without jumping, freeze defenders with his ballhandling, and drain three-pointers. Those three skills are the only specific descriptions of his play in the summary.
The summary identifies Wembanyama as a center for the Spurs, a team in the NBA, and gives his age as 22. It does not provide his height, statistics, or contract details.
The segment is listed as a 60 Minutes interview with Wembanyama, according to the CBS News listing. The summary does not say where or when the interview took place, and it does not include any quotations from Wembanyama or from the Spurs.
Readers seeking the player's own account of those skills would need to watch the full segment, which CBS News has published online. The CBS News video on Victor Wembanyama is the only source reviewed for this report.
No other outlet's reporting was available to compare with the network's account. The description of Wembanyama as the new face of the NBA therefore rests on the network's framing alone.
