Basket: Victor Wembanyama l'extraterrestre
Highly anticipated, the young French Basketball player who looks like a phenomenon, Victor Wembanyama, is in Paris with his team the San Antonio Spurs. They will play two regular season games against the Indiana Pacers this week.
-Blue, white, red. These are the colors of the Texas flag where Victor Wembanyama plays with the Spurs. Arriving in 2023, the Frenchman adopts the Texan hat. Wemby has a reputation as a hard worker. Voted best beginner in 2024, he is unanimous among the Spurs.
His popularity rating climbs faster than his team's results. Recently, a jersey donated to a fan was put up for sale on an online auction site for $10,000. The Frenchman did not appreciate this gesture. Victor Wembanyama is not really a bling-bling star, and he is appreciated for this closeness with the fans.
Nicknamed the Extraterrestrial, Wemby excels in both attack and defense. He takes care of his statistics, but his team remains poorly ranked, 12th out of 15 teams. The coronation in the NBA will not be this spring.
Watch the full report in the video above.
