Victor Wembanyama, the 22-year-old San Antonio Spurs center, has been named the NBA’s Defensive Player of the Year — and he did it unanimously, becoming the first player in league history to achieve that distinction. The Frenchman is also the youngest-ever winner of the award. Wembanyama finished second in the voting as a rookie and was the frontrunner last season before a medical condition ended his campaign early. This year, he left no doubt, dominating opponents on the defensive end all season long.
