French NBA player from the San Antonio Spurs, Victor Wembanyama

At the heart of discussions even before his arrival in the league, Victor Wembanyama has been talked about even more since then through his performances, but also his future. The latest release on this subject continues to provoke indignation across the Atlantic.

As the most anticipated prospect in the NBA since a certain LeBron James, he didn’t have to wait to join to see his name on everyone’s lips. Victor Wembanyama was already fueling conversations in the NBA community before splashing the North American courts with his talent. This phenomenon has therefore only increased since then, sometimes even if it means taking on disproportionate proportions.

The viral rant in the controversial Victor Wembanyama case

While he has not yet completed his rookie season, Wembanyama is already wondering about his future at Spurs. ESPN insider Ramona Shelburne recently wondered if he would be patient enough to let his managers build him a solid supporting cast. Comments widely criticized on the networks , where the influential NBA University account was very fed up:

The creative poverty of the NBA media is sad to see… Wemby has just celebrated its 20th anniversary. Let the Spurs build their project. Instead of doing that, we speculate on the hypothesis that would see him force his departure to another market when he has not even played 60 games in his NBA career yet? Can’t find other topics? I’m convinced these people don’t like basketball.

By now imagining Wemby leaving the San Antonio ship out of frustration, the North American media would seem to be moving on far too quickly. This type of speech would also only be a means of creating debate, and not of bringing real journalistic added value to the news of young French interiors. NBA University therefore strongly condemns it with strong words:

LAZY. That’s the perfect term to describe it. This is pure laziness and discomfort.

While his contract at Spurs runs until 2027, Victor Wembanyama already finds himself immersed in transfer rumors on ESPN. Enough to outrage the NBA University account , which protests against this position of the US media.
