On December 28, after the victory of his San Antonio Spurs team in Brooklyn, the 21-year-old French basketball player offered his jersey to a child with a big smile. Or rather, this 2.22 m giant had exchanged his tank top for the tiny one of a young fan.
The young boy had claimed the jersey with a sign he held at the edge of the pitch: “Victor Wembanyama, do you want to exchange your jersey with me? » said the message. And his father had quickly helped him undress.
Then, they posed together to mark this moment and the San Antonio Spurs website posted a video as well as a souvenir photo.
Yes, but here it is: if we don’t know what Victor Wembanyama did with his size 4 year old gift, we know what became of his large size one. It ends up, two weeks later, on an auction site!
And Victor Wembayana, hearing the news from the NBA, commented on it with a crying emoji on his X account. Disappointed…
$10,000 starting price
The auction with the famous flocked jersey of the 1 should begin on January 22 at 8 p.m., with a price starting at $10,000. The Goldin house is handling the sale. As of Wednesday afternoon, no offer had yet been made, the NBA website points out.

Answer
The “Wemby” jersey worn for the first time in the NBA was sold for $762,000 (700,000 euros) by Sotheby’s in November 2023. A record. Before this sale, experts had estimated its price between 80,000 and 120,000 dollars. Enough to arouse desire… and perhaps calm the enthusiasm of the basketball player of the French team.
Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs will be in Paris on January 23 and 25 for two matches against the Indiana Pacers. But there’s no point asking Wemby for a personalized jersey!
