Tracy McGrady’s Bold Call: Why Victor Wembanyama Deserves Weekly National TV Games

Picture this: A 7’4” French prodigy with the handles of a guard, the shot-blocking instincts of a prime Hakeem, and the three-point range of a modern stretch big. Now imagine him playing in front of a national audience every single week—not just when the schedule-makers feel like it. That’s exactly what NBA legend Tracy McGrady (T-Mac) is demanding for Victor Wembanyama, the Spurs’ generational talent who’s rewriting the rulebook for what a big man can do. But is America ready to hand over its TV remotes to a rookie? And more importantly—should they?

This isn’t just about hype. It’s about a player so electric that even veterans like McGrady, who’ve seen it all, are calling for an exception to the NBA’s usual “earn your stripes” media approach. So let’s break down why this debate matters, what it means for the league, and whether Wemby’s highlight-reel game is actually must-see TV—or if we’re all just falling for the algorithm’s favorite new toy.
