The Greeks spoke out about Victor Wembanyama after the duel between the two

Every year the NBA introduces outstanding rookies, whether they are players on NCAA basketball teams or players in foreign leagues. Every Draft receives millions of views worldwide, and every No. 1 overall pick always has the most views. French player Victor Wembanyama was chosen as the No. 1 pick by San Antonio Spurs and left a good impression after his debut.

The 2.24 m tall player, born in Le Chesnay, France, is a player who, despite being tall, knows how to handle the ball easily and shoot very well from medium to long distances. He is a defender of outstanding caliber thanks to his outstanding height and agility on the playing field. The truth is that every performance of the French tennis player at the national championship causes many expectations and this does not disappoint fans of this sport.

On Thursday, January 4, “Wemby’s” 20th birthday, the Spurs hosted the Milwaukke Bucks at Frost Bank Center. This meeting will mark the first meeting between the Frenchman and Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo. This match has a lot of people wanting to see it, with questions about whether the French giant will be able to stop the two-time NBA MVP. The Bucks won 125-121, with both players in excellent form. When the match ended, Giannis’ praise for Wembanyama quickly fell on deaf ears.

For his part, Victor Wembanyama scored 27 points, grabbed 9 rebounds and blocked 5 shots, including a spectacular save against “The Greek Freak”.

“He can score as many times as he wants. He plays to win. Antetokounmpo concluded: “I don’t know how tall he is… He’s over 2.24M tall. It was great to play against him for the first time.”
