Victor Wembanyama’s first match in the North American championship, from Wednesday, October 25 to Thursday, October 26, was marked by defeat. The young French basketball prodigy, who was selected by the San Antonio Spurs last June, aims to wake up America. In the mind of Victor Wembanyama.
No young basketball player has ever aroused this much expectation and desire. In the United States, the limelight is a 19-year-old Frenchman and already a superstar. Victor Wembanyama has an American flag on his head, a pair of size 57 shoes and dumbbells. Last night he took his first giant steps towards the MBA, the American championship. The first basket, the first applause, and despite the defeat, he maintains his champion mentality. His dream has just come true and it is out of the question for a man called Tony Parker to be disappointed at his former club. Wembanyama had already surpassed his opponents on the field in Nanterre (Hauts-de-Seine) when he was still a teenager. He is currently 2.24 m tall and has a wingspan of 2.43 m.
Very high flexibility
In his mind, everything is outside the norm, including his size 57 shoes specially ordered from Limoges (Haute-Vienne), bespoke is a must. It is extraordinary, as is its morphology. It changes in his mind. To be more competitive in the United States, he needs to build muscle, even if he doesn’t like it. The most important thing for Wemby, his nickname, is the great resilience he wants to maintain. The new basketball nugget can in any case count on the support of an entire city in its evolution. His face is everywhere in San Antonio.
