Surprisingly, Victor Wembanyama, a French rookie who plays for the San Antonio Spurs, is ranked second. At the age of 19, Wembanyama has already established himself as an NBA phenomenon, averaging 25 points per game in 224 appearances. He has 2 million views, making him an unexpected challenger for the top slot in terms of audience.

Interestingly, the tournament’s reigning MVP, Joel Embiid, who now leads the scoring chart with an average of 35.1 points per game, is not among the top ten NBA players with the most views. This absence is unexpected given his overwhelming performances and standing as one of the league’s brightest players.

Overall, despite his age, LeBron James continues to captivate fans and attract major attention, cementing his status as one of the NBA’s hottest stars.
