The video of Mbappe and Wembayama that travels the world
He measures 2.24 meters, is 19 years old and is one of the highest promises in the NBA. He is French, his name is Victor Wembanyama and he will become a San Antonio player starting next month, however his name became a trend during the draft lottery for a video he starred in with Kylian Mbappé.
The PSG star is a faithful admirer of this young talent whom LeBron James himself called “Extraterrestrial”. The footballer, who had gone to support Wemby on other occasions, was close to the young man on one of the most important days of his life.
The cameras captured the exact moment in which the player, 1.78 meters tall, stood next to the basketball player. “It must not be easy for photographers to frame,” joked a user when seeing the difference in height between the two referents of French sport. “It’s crazy to be this big,” said another.
“The guy that comes out of the avatar movie, that’s too much!” exclaimed a third, comparing him to the giants in the Disney movie, while a fourth launched into a pun: “The expression looking down at someone from above takes on here all its meaning”.
Only on the official account of NBA France, the recording reached 421,000 views, more than 400 comments and still counting.
It should be noted that the Frenchman is one of the most coveted prospects in NBA history and would make an immediate impact on the league.
Asked by ESPN, NBA commissioner Adam Silver was enthusiastic about Wembanyama: “He’s 19 years old and I didn’t use a tape measure or yardage or whatever is used in France, but he did look seven feet four inches to me. … It’s clear he looks like a once-in-a-generation talent.”
As far as the Spurs go, with this, it’s the third time in history they’ve won the lottery. On the two previous occasions they have made selections that have brought them success for decades: David Robinson in 1987 and Tim Duncan in 1997.
“I’m trying to win a championship ring as soon as possible,” Wembanyama told ESPN after the lottery results. “So be ready.”
The promising youngster ended his regular season with Boulogne-Levallois, a team in the highest professional league in France, on the same Tuesday. She scored 22 points to lead the season in scoring. “I can’t really describe this,” she stated as she shared the lottery results with her family and friends. “It’s a very special moment,” she said.
