He's a Spurs fan He wanted to be a Spur. He wants to be a Spur.
And now he's going to be what he wanted to be.
It's completely up to the Spurs whether he wants to stay.
I think a lot depends on how Pop goes (does he try to do him like he originally did Aldridge? Or does he let the free spirit (which Wemby brings up again and again) of Wemby reign?)
And what about Pop's replacement? Surely Wembs will have input in that decision once the time comes.
Are they building into success? Are they already successful?

Lots of factors.

[BatManu20]

Not great. Could’ve been worse though I suppose.

1671293887673974787

[SpursFan86]

Btw it’s pretty cool to see him living it up and enjoying all of this. Regardless of how his career plays out, this is a once in a lifetime experience and he should soak up being the center of attention without the inevitable scrutiny soon coming. As soon as he gets on the court here in America, it’ll be nonstop criticism regardless of how well he plays. Even if he’s performing well, it’ll be “well he’s not as good as X when they were a rookie” and blah blah blah…and we all know what it’ll be like as soon as shows signs of struggles.

Good on the kid for putting himself out there and enjoying himself while he still “has his innocence” so to speak. Not to mention it’s smart from a marketing standpoint - making himself more likable to Americans unfamiliar with him as a person.

[barakz21]

Getting Wemby actually scares me, not that I wouldn’t draft him. But has the day come that someone will supplant as TD as my favorite player and Spur of all time?

Kid's mind is wired right. But it is easy to say things and more difficult to stay that way. Here's hoping Victor never loses his groundedness. Pop will help him in that regard. But he will need whisperers in the ears - TD, Manu and D-Rob too.

When asked what his totem in his desire to be great, Wemby said he is free in the universe, he can do whatever he want, nothing’s gonna stop him. I like the confidence of this kid, no pressure at all. He said he has worked all his life, he’s done it differently since he was a kid. I remember Tony Parker always thought he’s better than anybody in the court. And we know how he used that confidence to excel. I like that Wemby thinks the same.

On the other hand, Chet thinks he will be the best NBA player in two months :lol

Windhorst was on the Bill Simmons podcast yesterday offering some insights on what he's like (Windy has basically hitched his wagon to Wemby now that LeBron in his twilight years).

Some interesting tidbits about his personality tbh:
-This past year in France was basically all about prepping him for the NBA. Like essentially the entire club was built around him: who they signed, practice schedules, etc.
-Very much into fashion as a french dude
-Enjoys being in the limelight, doesn't mind running in celebrity circles (Wemby is friends with Michael Douglas for some reason :lol)

[Mr. Body]

Gonna be an interesting mix. He's had guys like Killian Mbappe show up to his games and be in his circle. A massive, massive star in France, bigger than Napoleon and the Sun King, but a guy who knows how to handle himself. And then Wemby is coming to this wee little city that might as well be in the middle of Saskatchewan.

[Mr. Body]

And yes, Windhorst is a little slut and attaching himself to Wembanyama now.

[Mugen]

Yeah, he's definitely an interesting cat. MUCH more Shaq than Duncan in terms of personality but also seems like a guy very much committed to his craft.

I think the Spurs know the clock starts immediately when he's drafted and they need to ring within his first two NBA contracts to keep him long term. But that's pretty much the same for most superstars (and potential superstars) tbh.

It's gonna be pretty damn cool to see what he does to the franchise, city, culture, etc. tbh.

I'm trying to picture that one...

I think he's grounded enough to know he's in a good position. Tony liked his celeb status (not quite as big) and he stayed.

[BatManu20]

Yea the fact that he’s hanging out with international stars like Mbappé and Drake and wearing Drake’s signature shoes and all that at 19 years old speaks to his celebrity. He also grew up in Paris which is like the NYC/LA of France. I imagine he’ll grow bored of San Antonio pretty quickly tbh. But that shouldn’t matter so long as we build a winning team around him. He can live in those cities in the off-season. You travel so much during the season anyways that it really doesn’t matter. Put talent around him and build a perennial Title contender, and there shouldn’t be any issues.

[BatManu20]

He keeps reiterating how he wants to win as quickly as possible. Spurs’ rebuild is going to have to be expedited tbh. Patient but fast at the same time.

talking the talk is good but he's going to have to be playing at an All-NBA level for that to become a reality

[Mr. Body]

He needs to slow the fuck down.

[BatManu20]

Yea he’s young and eager. I get it. Wants to prove himself to the world and to the Spurs I’m sure. I imagine he’ll calm down a bit once he gets to SA and gets acclimated with Pop, the team, and the staff and everything. But you can tell he’s hungry. I like it from a competitive standpoint tbh. But yea I think he’ll come down to earth a bit after all the adrenaline and hype from the lottery and draft and everything comes down and it’s time to lace ‘em up and get to work.

[BatManu20]

Double-post.

[RC_Drunkford]

He's not a culture fit. Trade him ASAP

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUqNnC_WbUk

15:51 Among all the compliments you've received, there's one about you changing the NBA game. Can you do it?
Wemby Before thinking about changing the NBA game, the goal is to realize myself as a person and as a player, the rest/the results will come with it. As long as you have a good attitude towards yourself, you can shine positively onto others.

16:31 You will turn 20 in January, technically you're still a teenager but you're already an inspiration for the youth and it's growing exponentially. Are you thinking and preparing for this responsibility?
Wemby It's indeed a responsibility but what's good is that I have nothing to hide and I know I'm a good person, so my influence on the youth can only be positive unless I mess up. Anyway, yes it's a responsibility but also a desire for me to positively influence the World and youth in particular.

17:24 You were talking about Bilal Coulibaly earlier, in your opinion what makes France produce so many NBA worthy players recently?
Wemby To me it's their own intrinsic talent. I was lucky to be scouted very early by Nanterre that accompanied my development & took great care of me, but it was my luck because all basketball clubs aren't like that.
You can see that with Bilal who should have been playing in a pro team years ago. I think there's still a lot to be done around the development of young players.

18:24 How would you describe your first contact with the US, the fans, the excitement around you, how similar or dissimilar is it compared to France? How would you describe it?
Wemby It's ten fold compared to France. The enthusiasm is incredible and it makes me want to do good to thank all those who believe in me and send me all this love, it's incredible.

19:16 You started the press conference saying you will be playing in the Summer League, can you be more specific? And what about the World Cup?
Wemby Yes, I will play in the Summer League, not every game most likely because I've just had a long season, and I will play more after that. I know I will play the Summer League, as for the number of games, I will see that with the franchise.
When's the World Cup starting? August 25? OK so I'll have some time between the Summer League and the World Cup. Of course I want to play the World Cup, I will discuss that too with the franchise.

20:17 Do you sometimes think the media hype is too much, is it a burden sometimes?
Wemby No, no, no. Sure, it can be a little overwhelming but I was prepared for it because I worked for it. But it's part of the job.

20:49 This year's shaping up to be a historic draft for France. We saw you propping up Bilal, Rayan. Do you feel like the leader of that generation?
Wemby Not really. I actually didn't spend much time with that generation because even playing for France I always played with older guys. But I've known Rayan & Bilal for years and they're my friends so if I can help them succeed, I'll gladly do it, as they would for me.

21:37 Can you talk about yesterday, the NY metro, the Yankees Stadium and tell us about your pitch as well?
Wemby So yesterday I took the metro to get to the Yankees Stadium, the metro was pretty good, there were lots of security around me. It's not like the Parisian metro, it's more roomy. I cannot stand up in the Parisian metro, here I could. People were nice, a little crazy at times but in a good way.
Then we got to the Yankees Stadium. In the US I always feel the love fans have for athletes. It was great, I felt very welcomed. About that first pitch, I trained quickly before the game and it was OK, but when it came to the real one, the base was further away so I went too hard and lacked precision.

[Bruno]

He also grew up in Paris which is like the NYC/LA of France.

Not really, he grew up in Le Chesnay, a small city that look a little like an US suburbs (big shopping mall, houses, and small buildings).


But yeah, he is for sure very ambitious. I quite like it because he isn't arrogant.
When he was 16 years old, his goal/dream was to lead a NBA team to a title as a dominant player (8:50min mark):

“No I’m not really concerned with winning to start - as long as we’re competitive by my 2nd contract then it’s all good” :lol

The dude is competitive. It doesn’t come off as arrogant or cocky IMO. He’s not claiming that he’s going to lead us to a title next year, just saying he wants to win ASAP. Shouldn’t be a revelation to anyone.

it's widely known that spurstalkers like players who don't say much, don't like the spotlight and take pay cuts. As soon as a player opens a twitter account all hell breaks loose. The main reason is probably because most of these guys here are in their 40s and somehow think we should only sign quiet guys who secretly pull their dick out. Which is also a reason why most of the board is obsessed with signing end of the bench players and thinks every All-Star caliber player is a locker room cancer.

This article has a very very "ignorant condescending american" feel... Nanterre is part of the whole parisian urban area, like a 10/15 minutes train ride to get into paris) and he hasn't played his last game yet. And if he can manage parisian lifestyle, he should be able to adapt to LA's one without much trouble. He wxill probably get bored in SA for all I know...

On the contrary.

Pop is the best at that game imo

No one is going to stop me from dribbling the ball, bringing the ball up and shooting 3s. Nobody is going to stop me from doing that. Even though sometimes coaches in my career would try to stop me from doing that because they had to win right now. So it was really an everyday fight to stay true to myself, and, yeah, this is something that I'm never going to lose, for sure.

well, not a big fan of this quote to be honest. but not a big deal, the kid has confidence, as he should have. i just hope he will lean more towards tim or manu than tony from a behaviour aspect....

[kace]

Yeah the multiple goal scorer, just a guy at the end of the bench... Lmao.

the french national team was already one of the best in the world without him, losing only in the finals of the Euro 2016 after a game they dominated against Portugal.

The narrative about the french soccer team being Mbappé's one is one of the more stupid thing the communication and the need for stars in soccer has produced. Mbappé is a great player and a very big weapon for the french national team, but he owes the team a lot more than the other way around.

[RC_Drunkford]

you stupid idiot he scored 1 goal in that final :lmao

the captain was Hugo Lloris not Mbappe :lmao

There is a line that a developing player has to walk between developing their game and doing what is best to win right now. Wemby is committed to having a 3pt game and that’s is part of why he switched teams last year, to go somewhere with the freedom to develop that. I’m ok w the approach for now

[thiste]

Michael Douglas is fascinated by Wemby and as such he came a couple of times to watch Mets 92 games at Marcel Cerdan arena (the home of the Mets). That's the extent of the relationship between them, nothing more.

Mbappe owned by Messi

[Rocalcio]

Surprise Sochan appearance around the 15 minute mark.

That's really a nice thing, this will remain in their mind as the first time they met, and they were already laughing. I'm sure these twos will get along just fine. And you can tell that Victor knows the Spurs' roster, cause he's surprised when he realizes that Sochan wants to ask a question in French. He knows him already.

It's how a shitheel city like OKC got the Thunder to be a big bandwagon team under Durant and Westbrook. We're going to get a tide of new fans.

damn bismuth is a very spiritual stone to me but yeah it's not very rare or valuable. Shows how down to earth Victor is.

Victor is dreaming us through the reality systems into a better dimension density. Got that Element 115 necklace. Gonna take the Spurs through the gate with his god-given talents. Can't wait to see him play!

Same, it’s crazy that someone who was drafted by them is now in the war room with PATFO and on the other side of the draft process. Also, this leads me to believe that a. They really value Manu’s input, hence him being there and b. Manu might have a bigger role with the organization other than just as “special advisor”.

Wemby didn't even answer the call. And Tony recorded his message. If I had to guess, I'd say that Wemby and Tony don't have much of a relationship. Maybe it's a "never meet your idols" kind of situation?

It’s me. I’m the nerd. Decided to swing by the airport on my way home from work after I saw that his flight got delayed again and wasn’t landing til 4. It was on my way home and I got there just in time. Got to see Wemby and his family walk off the plane. It was pretty chaotic with so many people trying to get a glimpse — so many custom made signs, shirts, jerseys, etc. — Wembymania is real.

He did a little walk around to make sure everyone got a peak at him. He kept shaking his head in disbelief. He couldn’t believe how many people were there waiting to greet him in the 100° heat. Was a great welcome for he and his fam tbh. He signed a handful of peoples jerseys through the fence but there were just way too many people.

Also got to meet so Sochan. He actually came past the fence line towards the crowd and signed a bunch of people’s shit. Was pretty cool. Sochan’s a man of the people tbh. RC and Brian drove by us on the way out too. Wemby looked appreciative though which was good to see tbh.

[BatManu20]

Oh he was greeted with a Water Salute when he landed too, and everyone thought his 6’8 brother was him for a solid 2-3 minutes cause his brother came off the plane first wearing a Wemby jersey :lol. Even the news cameras were all following his brother around until they realized.

Here’s a pic of Wemby after he landed. RC, Brian, and Holt Jr. greeted him and they were gone within 5-10 minutes.

He did a little walk around to make sure everyone got a peak at him. He kept shaking his head in disbelief. He couldn’t believe how many people were there waiting to greet him in the 100° heat. Was a great welcome for he and his fam tbh. He signed a handful of peoples jerseys through the fence but there were just way too many people.

Also got to meet so Sochan. He actually came past the fence line towards the crowd and signed a bunch of people’s shit. Was pretty cool. Sochan’s a man of the people tbh. RC and Brian drove by us on the way out too. Wemby looked appreciative though which was good to see tbh.
That's very cool.

I think Sochan's going to be a heck of a player and a big time cornerstone of the Spurs' rotation for many years to come.

That said, I would probably like him better if he didn't do the Dennis Rodman schtick with his hair. It's disgusting and reminds Spurs fans of the mid 90s when we were the NBA's biggest perennial playoff chokers.

It’s me. I’m the nerd. Decided to swing by the airport on my way home from work after I saw that his flight got delayed again and wasn’t landing til 4. It was on my way home and I got there just in time. Got to see Wemby and his family walk off the plane. It was pretty chaotic with so many people trying to get a glimpse — so many custom made signs, shirts, jerseys, etc. — Wembymania is real.

Oh he was greeted with a Water Salute when he landed too, and everyone thought his 6’8 brother was him for a solid 2-3 minutes cause his brother came off the plane first wearing a Wemby jersey :lol. Even the news cameras were all following his brother around until they realized.

Here’s a pic of Wemby after he landed. RC, Brian, and Holt Jr. greeted him and they were gone within 5-10 minutes.

I'm sure Tex-Mex cuisine is going to be an adventure for him.
It can be very good. I'm a fan.
I'm in El Paso and we're not very Tex-Mex over here, but it exists.
I did grow up in Cen-Tex so I'm exceedingly familiar with it myself.

I know Pop is classy and all, but I wish he’d just go and tell Skip to eat a bag of dicks. He’s so annoying with his takes. I get he needs to give people something to talk about, but doing so at the expense of one of the league’s classiest individuals? SMH

Dealing with these morons in the media should be akin to how we should deal with Trolls - Ignore.

where is that war room located during the draft? Is that in Barclays?

After being a “spurs fan” all these years, he tools shots at Pop and the team earlier this year. Now doubling down on his foolishness to save face after they land Wemby. Pathetic.

Claims to have spoken to Uncle Dennis and gotten the "facts" about how Spurs tried to take advantage of Nephew & did him dirty. Been riding Nephew's dick ever since then, along with openly shitting on Pop.

I think that was back in SA. They probably didn't fly everyone up to Brooklyn, but I could be wrong.

If VW is building a house, it will be likely customized for his immense height. Think about it.

The guy has to duck his head everywhere he goes - literally everywhere with regards to buildings.

I saw this San Antonio realtor’s video on IG right after we won the lottery. He made a video specifically for Wemby showing off a new house in the Dominion that had 10-foot doors and vaulted ceilings throughout the house. Literally made for a giant. Also had a great view of the hill country. Wouldn’t be surprised if he actually bought that house tbh.

[barakz21]

Gotdamn. It’s like we’re living in the multiverse, Timmy with dreads and a bandana? What I would give to see current Timmy playing and busting out the fundamentals! Also I know he’s already up there in age, but it just seems wrong seeing DRob without the signature flat top.

[Spursmania]

First we had the Twin Towers and now we have the Eiffel tower!

Also, where did it say he was building a house and not just buying?

I can't believe how much he towers above David.

I can't ever say a disparaging thing towards Manu. He looks like a God.
Timmy looks amazing and I love the island look.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Yeah pretty incredible he’s towering over David like that. Manu looks like 5’10 in this picture haha.
