After so much waiting, Victor Wembanyama will make his NBA debut on the night of Wednesday to Thursday during the San Antonio Spurs’ first regular season match against the Dallas Mavericks (3:30 a.m.). Present in front of the press this Tuesday, the new darling of world basketball wanted to send a message to his French fans.
The big evening is coming. At the heart of a media frenzy never seen since LeBron James 20 years ago, Victor Wembanyama will officially begin his shared history with the NBA on the night of Wednesday to Thursday (3:30 a.m.) on the occasion of the first regular season match of the San Antonio Spurs vs. Dallas Mavericks.
On the eve of this baptism of fire, the No. 1 of the last draft spoke to the media on Tuesday. Faced with the numerous French journalists present on site, the former interior of Boulogne-Levallois wanted to address all the French fans who will sacrifice a little of their sleep to follow his adventures on the other side of the Atlantic.
“I hope you enjoy the whole season!”
“Stock up on coffee!” Wembanyama said with a smile. “As soon as I see support and I notice support, even more from the French, I try to thank, to show that it touches me and I hope to be able to return the favor one day or another. I hope that You’re going to enjoy it all season long!”
“The San Antonio fans support us, that’s nice. But that it’s fans who come from France, it’s even better, continued the tricolor interior. Sometimes, I see French flags in the stands, I say always a sign, I always try to say hello or clap my hands. It’s nice, it’s my blood.”
After a breathtaking season in the Boulogne-Levallois jersey, ending in the final of the French championship in front of a packed Roland-Garros central court, “Wemby” was able to repeat his ranges on the American courts during the Summer League in July then during pre-season games over the last two weeks. During the night from Wednesday to Thursday, serious things begin. Always with the unconditional support of a country that saw him grow up while waiting to see him conquer America.
