Barely three days of common history and the liaison between Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs has already landed in the excessive box. The arrival of the Frenchy in San Antonio panics the NBA and excites the supporters of the Texas franchise. In this context, a simple photo of the former Boulogne-Levallois giant alongside the basketball legend was not going to escape the rush. “Wemby” showed up on Twitter in good company. On Friday evening, he sat down with Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, David Robinson, Sean Elliott and the Spurs staff, including Gregg Popovich. Since then, the photo exposing them all together arm in arm has gone around the web.
The image has been viewed on Twitter 17 million times. More than 150,000 people have “liked” the illustration, which weighs very heavily in legend, in individual trophies and in collective titles. “Couldn’t have asked for better role models,” Wembanyama wrote to caption an already unforgettable photo.
Indeed, with Admiral Robinson, drafted in first position during the 1987 Draft and Tim Duncan, who imitated him ten years later, the 19-year-old Frenchman has found two former pivots with whom to talk basketball. Despite the CVs of the two former basketball players, the French giant almost made Robinson and Duncan look like playmakers.
“In a few hours with them, I learned more about the NBA than in my entire life. » ????️

The former interior of Nanterre and Asvel was also called first on the evening of the 2023 Draft. An extremely strong moment, like his dinner with Ginobili and company. “This evening was one of the most rewarding of my life,” he said. I learned about the NBA as much in those two hours as in my entire life. It’s super reassuring to see that these guys, who marked the history of the city, still live here, and still take care of the players. They will be there to help me, and won’t let me make the mistake twice. It’s the best environment I could dream of as a rookie. »
