SLAM
After having marked the WNBA season with her Liberty franchise, Marine Johannès now watches from afar Victor Wembanyama splashing the NBA floors with his talent. She also shared her thoughts on the subject for Ouest France .
Given the still relatively small number of French representatives expatriated across the Atlantic, it seems logical that they should all stick together. Even when they don’t play in the same league. The nod addressed by Marine Johannès to Victor Wembanyama a few months ago nevertheless warmed the hearts of French fans, who place a lot of hope in each of them.
Indeed, even if they will not have the greatest experience of the French team next summer, both will be called upon to lead it to the summits during the Paris Olympic Games. Before that, they made sure – and still make sure for one – to proudly represent their country in the United States, where observers of the WNBA and NBA could not help but fall under their spell recently.
Strong words from Marine Johannès on Victor Wembanyama
While Johannès reached the WNBA Finals last October with the New York Liberty, Wembanyama had a huge rookie season in the NBA with the San Antonio Spurs. In doing so, the young interior ultimately only shows itself to live up to the expectations of its compatriot . The latter also mentioned their relationship again in a recent interview with Ouest France :
So no, I don’t know him personally. On the other hand, of course, we have already crossed paths and we also have the same agency. But other than that, I just think it’s amazing! He really does things… that we’ve never seen, or at least not with this much ease. So I think it’s really a source of pride for France to have a player like that, who represents it in the United States and in the NBA.
Impressed by Wemby’s prowess in the North American league, MJ23 admits, however, that she has not yet been able to form a strong bond with him. This, even if they have already had the opportunity to meet, which also gave rise to a viral photo . In any case, it’s a safe bet that they will be called upon to rub shoulders more and more often over the years, particularly in the US.
By then, Victor will undoubtedly have made enormous progress with the Spurs and under the orders of Gregg Popovich. In any case, this would not be enough to surprise the ASVEL Féminin prodigy, who always thinks so big about herself:
I think he’s going to be one of the greatest players we know.
Even if she has not yet had the opportunity to get to know him well, Marine Johannès also seems won over by the immense talent of Victor Wembanyama. The French team has reason to rejoice in having them in its ranks.
