After a few weeks spent in the ranks of the Spurs, Victor Wembanyama has already had the opportunity to face Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant. So many confrontations that he was excited at the idea of ​​experiencing, just like two others just as prestigious.

In just two weeks, he was able to fully appreciate the concentration of talent that characterizes his new environment. Having barely arrived in the NBA, Victor Wembanyama has already encountered a lot of pretty names on North American courts. Even before facing Luka Doncic for his official baptism of fire, he even found himself facing a league icon in the preseason.

Indeed, the Spurs completed their preparation with a trip to Golden State, where they were able to find a certain Stephen Curry. A gala poster which also gave birth to a sequence as crazy as it was viral between the star leader and the young French interior.

 

The latter, however, had to quickly recover from his emotions in order to start serious things and respond to the other big challenges that awaited him.

The two remaining matchups that make Victor Wembanyama salivate

In addition to the derby in Dallas and the clash against the Clippers armada, Wembanyama was recently able to compete against Kevin Durant’s Suns. A special encounter for him against one of his idols, about which he spoke at length after their duel .

In the Skweek Show by Tony Parker (interview to be found in full here ), he also listed this confrontation among those he was most looking forward to this season:

Steph, it wasn’t bad! (…) Then of course, there is LeBron, KD, Giannis… But especially KD, because he is the player I have observed the most. (…) And then, no one managed to lock it in defense.

It will be a real challenge, but if not, there are many others. Every week, there are going to be matchups where I’m going to say to myself, “Wow, this is awesome, I’m going to play against so-and-so!” »

Delighted with his first face-to-face with Curry, Wemby also has reason to be satisfied with those who saw him face the Slim Reaper, concluded with two victories for his team. From now on, he will be able to count the days before crossing swords with the other superstars of the league.

Starting with those whose names he explicitly gives in this interview, namely LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo .

And because the NBA generally does things well, its clashes with the two icons will happen quite quickly and will take place very close together. Indeed, San Antonio will host the Lakers on December 13 and 15, before traveling to Milwaukee on December 19. Suffice to say that Victor is preparing to go through a very emotionally charged period as the end of year holidays approach!

His first matches against Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant behind him, Victor Wembanyama can now turn to those who will pit him against LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Only a few weeks left before experiencing these events!
