Victor Wembanyama leads Spurs to easy win in Paris
ai generated text
Victor Wembanyama, a 21-year-old player for the San Antonio Spurs, led his team to a 140-110 victory over the Indiana Pacers in a game played at the Accor Arena in Paris. Wembanyama had a strong performance, scoring 30 points and collecting 11 rebounds, six assists, five blocks, and a steal. This achievement comes after his selection as the number one pick in the 2023 NBA draft, a position he earned after playing in the French league for approximately a year and a half. Wembanyama also contributed to France's silver medal in the men's basketball at the Paris Olympics last year, receiving a hero's welcome in his home country as a result of his success.
That was one of the matches that was closest to my heart.
I felt proud to be able to gather people like that.
I felt proud of us, proud of myself, proud of being French. It just confirmed what I thought was gonna happen.
They played a great game. Victor is a great player. The country of France should be very, very proud. He's a one-of-a-kind. He's a once - I don't know how many generations a player like that comes along. Just breathtaking the things that he does.
I don't know what Victor said before the game, but whatever he said worked.
