Victor Wembanyama is not the only member of his family who dominates the game of basketball.

Wembanyama’s older sister, Eve, accompanied him during Thursday’s NBA Draft at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Victor, as expected, went first overall to the San Antonio Spurs in the draft.

 

On Friday, a video of Eve also dominating basketball started going viral on Twitter. Per Jim Sheridan of The Sun, the 6-foot-1 Eve plays on Monaco in the LF2 Basketball League.

Fans on social media were impressed with the basketball skills Eve showed.

Let the legend of the Wembanyama basketball family begin.

Entering the draft, Victor was considered the best prospect since LeBron James, who was taken first overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2004. Some scouts and pundits even consider Wembanyama a more NBA-ready and polished prospect than James was.

Having won the draft lottery, the Spurs held the first overall pick for the third time in franchise history. They drafted Navy center David Robinson and Wake Forest big man Tim Duncan first overall in 1987 and 1997, respectively.

Both Robinson and Duncan emerged as franchise cornerstone players and turned the Spurs into a model organization. The “Twin Towers” duo led the Spurs to NBA Championships in 1999 and 2003. Duncan, of course, would lead the organization to three more in 2005, 2007 and 2014.

And now the Spurs have the greatest prospect in a generation to try to kickstart a new dynasty. Needless to say, it’s an exciting time to be a Spurs fan again.
