In ESPN's NBA offseason survey, two insiders picked Victor Wembanyama to win MVP this year. Wouldn't that be a sight? The 7'5" Alien that was promised is racing past all expectations, and he's making believers out of everyone. Other than the occasional fan from a rival team, you never see anything negative about Wembanyama. That's quite the luxury for the Spurs.

If Vic wins the Most Valuable Player trophy, it would be the third consecutive year that a player wearing silver and black earned a prestigious honor in award season. First, he wins Rookie of the Year unanimously, then Stephon Castle backdoors him with another ROY win. If he pulls this off, he'll be the youngest player to win MVP in the history of the sport.

San Antonio's laid-out foundation would be undeniable at that point. Even the haters would have to admit to their new biggest fear: Wemby and the Spurs.

The Spurs could form a stronger dynasty than before

The length of success may be different just because it's difficult to maintain that standard of winning for 20 years, but the possibility of a more dominant run in a shorter span of time is on the table. A lot would need to go right, mainly good health, but if they're fortunate enough to stay on the floor, this team can accomplish anything.

Wembanyama will be the driving force, taking on the role of Tim Duncan. He's the defense-first, phenomenon who can impose his will on offense with an unstoppable arsenal of moves because of his size and mobility. As much as we love Timmy, it would be foolish not to acknowledge that Vic has the tools to be better than the Big Fundamental.

As if that isn't scary enough, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili's roles are being played by two top-five draft picks. Remember, TP wasn't selected until the 28th pick and Manu was a second-rounder. Obviously, they exceeded expectations and turned themselves into Hall of Fame players, but Castle and Harper come in with a higher pedigree, suggesting more potential for greatness.

So, let's imagine that happens, and both guards reach their ceilings. Both players have drawn comparisons to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. So, you'll basically have three MVP-worthy stars on one roster, with one being a generational talent with a real possibility of being one of, if not the greatest player of all time.

That is terrifying for the Western Conference.
