10 Things You Didn't Know About Victor Wembanyama

Victor win Bama's an 8-foot man who's taken over the NBA and there's so much you need to know about him from controversies with the police oh my God I'm scared I'm scared I'm scared to a secret meeting behind his jersey number here's 10 things you didn't know about Victor starting with the time he predicted his own future here in lazni laisne hey how do I pronounce this it's Lu whatever here in France is where Victor grew up and started playing basketball cuz he idolized one of their country's most iconic players Tony Parker not only did

Victor become a big enough fan to be seen wearing Tony Spurs jersey he wanted to follow in Tony's footsteps by making it to the league and playing for the exact same team fast forward 10 years Victor was balling to accomplish the goal he became the most hyped young player in the world so even though every NBA team wanted him the draft lottery would determine if he'd go where he wanted as the order got selected eventually the top pick went to the Spurs and that means that the number one pick in the 2023 NBA draft goes

to the Antonio Spurs so everybody including Tony Parker himself claimed the Victor was going to be a Spur even though the actual draft hadn't happened yet on June 22nd 2023 though it was time to make things official good evening and welcome to the 2023 NBA draft tonight we usher in the next wave of NBA players as it's not hitting me right now was going to hit hard with the first pick the San Antonio Spurs select Victor [Applause] wanyama accomplishing something that I've been dreaming of you know my whole life hearing that that sentence from Adam

Silver you know I've dreamed of it so so much now you know I got to cry man it feels like a full circle you know like it's funny like when the draft came I was like it's crazy when they got the number one pick I was like wow it was like Destiny you know I felt like it was meant to be damn now all of that is crazy but not as crazy as Victor's controversy that got the police involved after the draft took place in Brooklyn New York Victor headed to Los Vegas Nevada for the

NBA Summer League now I don't even know how you last an hour sitting on a plane like this but that's besides the point once his plane landed and he hopped off the flight hundreds of fans were already waiting for him so he made his way through the crowd and eventually traveled to his hotel the Arya where even more fans were waiting on him when he was making his way through the lobby though a crazy looking fan ran up on him so she literally got [ __ ] slapped by Victor security this wasn't just some random

Victor meat Rider though it was celebrity singer Britney Spears and just taking a look at her I can see why security wouldn't let her get close she looks like a homeless crackhead regardless she called the cops and filed the police report so the Las Vegas Police Department launched an investigation the situation instantly went viral so Victor was being asked about it Non-Stop I didn't see I didn't see what happened cuz I was walking straight and we told don't stop but that person grabbed me from behind not on my shoulder she grabbed me from behind and

uh so I I just know that the security push her away I don't know with how with how much force though but uh I didn't I didn't stop for to look so I kept walking and enjoyed a nice dinner then after Victor told his side of the story Britney tried defending herself until she made the situation even worse by demanding a public apology cuz it seemed like she mainly cared about gaining clout from all this so even though Victor was yelled about the situation the entire time he was in Vegas Victor do you want to

apologize to Britney not only did he just ignore the situation as the police completed their investigation they announced that no charges will be filed and they said a surveillance video revealed that Spears actually hit herself in the face after she was pushed away so she lied about it all damn these thoughts will do anything for Victor's attention cuz they probably know he's got the biggest dck in the entire NBA there's a reason why fans say he's packing packing all of Victor's measurements are making NBA history he stepped into the NBA and instantly became the League's

tallest player tied for second place are bowan and Kristoff porzingis who are both listed at 7'3 and Victor's above them at 7' 4 Barefoot speaking of feet Victor's Shoe size is also one of the biggest in NBA history some notable players ahead of him were sha Taco Fall and Bob lanir who all wore a size 22 shoe but still Victor's feet are so big fans don't even say he puts on shoes they say he wears kayaks cuz they're a size 20 and A2 and you know what they say about big fee Big H see nobody

can grip balls like Victor can you Palm it with two [Music] fingers the craziest of Victor's measurements though are why he looks like Slender Man Victor's long ass arms allow him to dunk by barely even jumping he even showed his POV while hooping and that's all because of his record setting wingspan the second highest in the NBA is a tie at 7' 10 by my boys B and mo Victor top both of them though measuring it 8 ft long and just looking at his length I already know what else you're wondering about what the does

this dude eat I'll give you a hint a lot word on the street is that uh you eat quite a bit how many meals a day at least five I got to eat whenever I can eating that much isn't surprising for a dude as big as him honestly what surprises me is how he even sits at restaurants Victor eats a ton of different foods his favorite food completely took over his life though now going to them what excites you most and what do you hope to work on this summer breakfast tacos I heard a lot

about breakfast tacos after saying that he was instantly asked what his favorite Taco toppings were what what what what meat do you use beef you can put whatever you want on it chicken then chicken then uh what's the name the tortilla tortilla chicken some cheese some sour cream tell me if I'm wrong s cream and uh yeah some pepper red pepper and Spurs fans definitely heard that cuz not only did fans wait for him to arrive in San Antonio for the first time and literally show up to the airport just to give him tacos he

got invited to one of the best taco places in the city that made sure he got addicted hello hey how's it going tacos over here can I order some this is my favorite mural in San Antonio I would say and with that my new favorite Taco spot too man really got a mural of them eating tacos I already know a certain other NBA player who's going to invite him over for Tuesdays Taco Tuesday all right L Taco can I get back to talking Victor now Victor might be the NBA's number one eater but I bet

you didn't know the secret meaning of why he wears number one on his jersey You' think Victor chose the number one cuz in the draft he was the number one pick you might even think it's cuz he got invited to Yankee Stadium to throw out the first pitch M that throw was trash that's definitely not the reason see the number one is something Victor wore before the fame I'm talking about the multiple teams he's played with as a teenager during an All-Star Game and even while playing for France he chose 32 cuz well 3 -

2 equals 1 if you didn't know so when he got drafted to the NBA within just one day his jerseys were already put into development cuz there was only one number he was going to choose and after the jerseys were made fans lined up for miles to be one of the first to be Reed as iconic number one so Victor's Jersey became a top seller as much as those fans were glaz and Victor and his number though they can't compare to the dude who literally bought a custom Spurs colored Corvette got Victor's jersey number put

on the license play and offered to give it to Victor for free just so we'd hang out with him one time so apparently you'd like to give it to be an exchange for a hangout sash a what I mean hangout sash sash uh just look at you bro Victor ain't hanging out with you neither will anybody the funny part is I guarantee neither him that ugly ass thing in the passenger seat or any of Victor's fans knew the reason why dud even chose number one well it's all cuz of a motivation Victor's always told himself

it's really um it's really mentality you know number one cuz uh for for me there's no other option but to be number one you know I can't accept to be you have to be behind behind someone in some way you know and uh not being the best team but even though Victor's jersey number represents him believing he's better than everyone and sometimes that can be a recipe for disaster for now it's working cuz it just helped them set a world record in NBA 2k it's all cuz millions of fans were anticipating the new 2k to

drop just so they could officially use Victor's character I mean people were such a fiend they were creating Victor in the last 2K he started being hyped up and seeing him do things like this made people think he was going to break the game even the face of their Ronnie 2K admitted it I mean he is the freak NBA 2K player right a 74 guy that can do everything he's KD with five extra inches he's going to he's going to break our game so 2K had a lot to figure out and they had to fast

cuz just like they do before every game's release they planned on revealing players ratings ahead of time including Victors keep in mind a couple things though one all they'd seen Victor do up to this point was playing leagues against trash cans we throwing it down a few Summer League games against nobody rim run and shoot around at practices and two here's the ratings that some other NBA stars came in as rookies step was a 69 overall LeBron was a 78 Kevin Durant was an 80 and the highest rated rookie in NBA history was Zion Williamson

with an 81 until now here you go you want to show the people I don't know yet oh that's nice that's all right you like that yeah that's right hold up in 84 they already made do a top 50 best player in the entire NBA without him playing a single NBA game that makes no sense no wonder why his 2K players always glitching out here's wiama oh misses the dunk [ __ ] is going on wiim Yama what the [ __ ] what the [ __ ] nah but for real dude definitely deserves it cuz

he's the only player I ever heard of that's been cooking NBA stars since he was a kid here's the time Victor was only 16 years old and already 7 fo3 next to him was Rudy Gober a 7' one grown ass man one of the NBA's best defensive players at the time who literally made history by winning three Awards because of it and even he couldn't stop a young Victor and hammered it oh my and the rejection by R playing with that right there man either Victor was Unstoppable or Rudy was ass no wonder why his

team traded him after this it's just crazy Victor did that when growing up basketball wasn't even his favorite sport dude's got a ton of other Hobbies cuz he's a bit of a renaissance man Renaissance yeah renaissance man up P I didn't know I didn't know okay anyways with Victor living in another country for so long it makes sense why he loves another sport what sport are you best at I got to go with yeah football I mean soccer yeah soccer you should call it football you be a great goalie yeah I mean I was I

used to be really I could see that not baseball now even though they were laughing at the thought of Victor being coordinated enough to be good at food ball he proved his skills with a viral clip accidentally played the sport during a basketball game um yeah he play soccer too then during a photo shoot he showed off his foot game while letting us know one of France's best teams and best players are his favor who's your favorite player have you ever met him you guys have a relationship yeah I met him once he just a

French young already great player I think I can look up to him a little bit after saying that Victor and mbappe kicked it again and mbappe even became a fan of him yeah everybody is supporting him in friends he's a top talent top guy and I hope he going to perform in the NBA uh that's cool you Ninja Turtle looking ass boy but Victor's also got Hobbies other than playing with balls sometimes he likes to disconnect from sports and social media cuz people like me can be annoying hey yo Victor we're making a video about

you let the who play G know subscribe uh you heard the man subscribe other than that though Victor's a huge admirer of art so whenever he's traveling through new places he loves showing up to museums or galleries where he's always admiring giant periods people's heads on fire even [ __ ] I mean roosters and whenever he ain't doing that Victor also loves shopping for books cuz he's a big reader especially when it comes to Game of Thrones he can't help browsing through a selection of books in between photo shoot setups specifically Game of Thrones I

saw the show and I'm I'm a reading the book right now all right all right all right all right so Victor's a reader an eater and damn near a creature now I see why before even stepping on an NBA coure he's gotten more nicknames than anybody in NBA history there's been a huge dilemma following Victor's career so far and it's that nobody knows what the fck to call this man we've had Kobe Bryant being called the black mamba James Harden being called The Beard even janisan DM's nickname was creative when he became the Greek Freak

but the most clever Nam people came up with for Victor was shortening his last name of wenyama to Wy that's the weakest lowest effort nickname of all time now Victor personally liked enough to change his ads on Instagram and X to it the fans have stayed so determined to create the perfect nickname for him though that it's become a trending topic ESPN Stephen A Smith called him the poor man's Kevin Durant because of his length and skills combined with injury concerns now obviously the old head with a [ __ ] up hairline doesn't know what

he's talking about cuz Victor's barely ever gotten a scratch on his body and he hasn't even joined 18 super teams like KD has so we ain't going with that there was a time LeBron James was praising Victor though and accidentally gave him a nickname Rel him like this unicorn thing everybody's been a unicorn over the last few years but he's more like like an alien now all right calling him an alien was definitely wild I mean dude does kind of look like an alien though either way this nickname stuck more than the others cuz not

only did a San Antonio Coffee Spot Embrace Victor by making him an exclusive themed drink called the alien this nickname became a big enough deal for Nike to offer Victor a $100 million deal and begin marketing him based off the alien concept dur in commercials he also posted up in photo shoots advertising Nike Tech fits while on another planet and not only did the caption showcases alien tag that LeBron gave him Nikey also called Victor the Extraterrestrial which if you're a high school dropper like me and don't no big words it's a hypothetical or fictional

being from outer space especially an intelligent one let's be real though dude ain't from another [ __ ] planet man so some other nicknames have been thrown in the mix like when NBA legend Jaylen Rose thought he was on to something his name is Victor wimy for now I'm just calling him blank check because that's what he is going to Garner real soon now not only did I have no idea what the hell that man was talking about I also couldn't take him seriously cuz he got 81 by Kobe jum for him he gets it

none of these nicknames seemed right so talk shows began just throwing anything out there to see if it would stick people have suggested maybe the dub or the dub but then you have the Warriors they're the dubs you can't have them the wi banula the Victor angula well with VW how can we uh not call him the bu all right listen man the only way VW works is if this is the Volkswagen Buggy named after not one of these [ __ ] [Music] STS at this point though Victor deserves something special the man's a future

face of the league and we've never seen so many NBA legends praise someone this early Victor's not stopping till every NBA star fears him the whole world recognizes his game and here's why he's destined to become a basketball go and if you got a chance to see Victor web Yami yeah yeah of course how can you miss him that type of talent and skill and it just puts a smile on your face if you play basketball you know I've never seen this before in my life he's he's taller than Rudy goar wow he can PL

shot like Rudy but shoot like KD oh Kevin dur he's growing up now watching KD and seeing Steph and seeing Giannis and instead of him saying okay I just don't want because I'm 73 or 74 I don't want to just sit in the post now I want to I want to get out and work on my handles three days a week and then the other three days I want to work all on shooting time playing sum block play to he just blocked his second and then we'll just Hammer that is he just almost into a

turnover and oh mother he has the chance to be one of the best not in his age or not in Europe one of the best to ever play this game remember we heard all the hype the generational Talent Eon bro I didn't see it I saw that [ __ ] the other right now today W be is one of the top five skilled players in the NBA a Christmas Day if LeBron James at that exact moment showed up Victor would go higher than him man and that's why Victor's number one but what if I told

you jersey numbers like his don't end up on players for no reason there's crazy stories behind why players chose them like Kyrie Irving's only number 11 cuz it's been following him around since the minute he was born LeBron was forced to switch his number cuz someone died and James Harden's only number 13 cuz of honey buns but listen I only got a few seconds left to convince you to click this video before I lose a $100,000 bet so this is your last chance man are you clicking or am I going homeless help
