DON'T TELL ME! A 6'9" Kid Joins Michael Jordan's Team: The Scaloneta of Basketball Gets Ready

Attention, fans! This is crazy. The Washington Wizards, the same team where Michael Jordan was an executive and retired, selected AJ Dybantsa with the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft. Yes, you read that right! An 18-year-old, 6’9″ small forward who promises to tear it up in the league.

And what does Argentina have to do with this? Nothing, but it’s huge news! Because Dybantsa joins the worst team of the 2025/26 season, the one that had His Majesty MJ in its ranks. And if we Argentines know anything, it’s that teams that hit rock bottom always bounce back. Like the Scaloneta, which came out of nowhere to win the World Cup.

This kid is a machine: fast, tall, shoots from outside, drives, defends. They say he’s the next LeBron, or the next KD. What do I know! The point is, the Wizards need a savior, and Dybantsa arrives with the No. 1 pick. Is a new era coming? Don’t tell me!

Argentine fans know about miracles. About teams that come back to life. About kids who become idols. Dybantsa has everything to be one. And even though he doesn’t play for the Argentine national team, we’ll follow him, because basketball is also lived with passion. Go, AJ, the world is yours!

From Olé, we tell you who this kid is: born in Massachusetts, plays for BYU University, and his game is a spectacle. The Wizards trusted him to be the face of the franchise. And we, from here, support him. Because sports are like that: one day you’re down, and the next, a 6’9″ kid changes your story. This is crazy, a phenomenon is coming!
