NBA: In addition to basketball, Wembanyama enjoys an astonishing passion

He is back. Basketball prodigy Victor Wembanyama is eagerly awaited for his NBA debut with the Spurs at the end of October. Short hair dyed blonde, Wemby connected Monday at 11 p.m. (4 p.m. in Texas) from San Antonio for a press briefing with the French media after the online broadcast of the preview of the documentary dedicated to him, “UN1QUE », which will be broadcast on Canal+ and MyCanal on October 8. The perfect time to talk about how he managed to escape from his new stifling daily life.

It had been several long weeks since Victor Wembanyama did not appear before the press. Since the Summer League (early July), the French felt the need to cut themselves off from the world in order to best prepare for their return to school, scheduled for October 25 against the Dallas Mavericks : « It was the first time in my life that I really felt mental and moral fatigue. All these events were nothing negative, but when I took my vacation after Summer League, it was a necessity. I took the time to isolate myself, this is the first time I have spoken in the media in 2-3 months. It does a lot of good. » said the inside of Spurs this Monday, on the sidelines of the documentary “ UN1QUE ».

“I have a lot of hobbies”

In this documentary, we see in particular Victor Wembanyama and his passion for drawing and meditation. A personal means which serves as an escape from all this constant agitation around him: “ I have a lot of hobbies, interests in many areas that also evolve over time. I believe that the most important thing to not get lost in all this is to have something that motivates us deeply. A reason for being, a goal on which we are fixed. »

Wembanyama, sportsman and artist

From the top of his 224cm, the one we sometimes nickname the Alien, looks like a human. He loves art. He knows how to use his fingers to shoot as well as to draw, except for a few details. And his second passion sometimes allows him to clear his head: “ I love art, but the artwork I love isn’t the same as the art I love creating. I like to make realistic drawings, with lots of details, but I have lots of other styles. Sometimes abstract. Besides, I am looking for decoration for my house. I also look for works of art, but it’s really very varied. » conceded the 19-year-old Frenchman.
