When you have a phenomenon like Victor Wembanyama who arrives in your franchise, it inevitably attracts people. Former Spurs player, LaMarcus Aldridge would not say no to a role within the Texan team to surround Wemby.
Since Victor Wembanyama arrived at Spurs last June, former glories of the franchise have welcomed him with open arms. For example, we saw Wemby share a dinner with David Robinson, Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Sean Elliott, and we also saw him take up boxing with a certain Jesse James Leija, like Timmy and Manu before him. But Victor could soon benefit from the advice of another well-known name at Fort Alamo.
Bring in LaMarcus Aldridge.
Seven-time NBA All-Star and having played for Spurs between 2015 and 2021, LMA seems visibly tempted by a role in the coaching staff of the Spurs, in particular to participate in the development of Victor Wembanyama. In any case, that’s what he said on his X account a few hours ago.

During his career, LaMarcus Aldridge established himself as one of the strongest interior players in the NBA (career average of 19 points and 8 rebounds, five All-NBA nominations). His trademark ? His fadeaway turnaround which wreaked havoc in the Big League. Lethal at mid-distance, LMA tormented more than one defense with this signature shot. So clearly, Aldridge would be the ideal teacher for Victor Wembanyama if he wants to add such a move to his offensive repertoire.
Officially retired from the courts since March 2023, LaMarcus Aldridge has more than 20,000 career points, recorded in the jerseys of Portland, San Antonio and Brooklyn.
