Charles Barkley is frustrated with Victor Wembanyama already being labeled as face of the league, as he thinks that it's way too early for that yet.
Victor Wembanyama finished his sophomore season prematurely with a condition in his shoulder veins.

It was more than enough for lots of people to call him the face of the NBA, but hat's not the case with Charles Barkley.
"I saw some guys on another network the other day talking about the 'face of the league', and I was so annoyed. You don't give anybody that label, you have to take it."
"First of all, you don't give anybody the label, am I right? Shaquille O'Neal took it. When Magic Johnson and Larry Bird came in, they were like, 'we're the new sherrifs in town', Barkley continued.
"Shaq took it, Kobe Bryant took it, LeBron James took it, and Stephen Curry took it," Barkley concluded.
