About this episode

We are so psyched to share with you all, Victor Wembanyama's first ever podcast appearance. So much to get to from likely going #1 in the 2023 NBA Draft to going to the San Antonio Spurs. Topics include: JJ and Tommy discuss potential draft night trades. Then Wemby joins us to talk about his time in the US so far, playing basketball in France, the advantages to playing in Europe over play college in the US, why he wishes he could've gone to college, what he missed out on his childhood, his workout routine and the unique care he has to take on his body, the pressures of being called "The Best Prospect Ever", his attitude towards staying motivated while getting praise, how excited he is to play with Gregg Popovich and The San Antonio Spurs, why he loves watching Nikola Jokic, Kevin Durant, Joel Embiid and Giannis Antetokounmpo, why he can't wait to play against LeBron James, what he's looking forward to most about living in the US, why the Star Wars prequels are his favorites and what being called the #1 pick on draft night will mean to him. So much to get to. Let's go!
