Victor Wembanyama is a young man with immense talent and potential. The day he set foot in the NBA, he has given San Antonio Spurs fans something to look forward too. Even Thomas Bryant was left awe-struck by the youngster’s exceptional on-court displays.
Victor Wembanyama aka “Wemby” has been delivering stellar performances day in and day out. Even NBA Analyst Stephen A. Smith was so impressed by his performance that he said that Wemby will probably make the All-star game as a rookie. Wembanyama has a calm and quiet presence but also doesn’t shy away from getting into heated arguments and this time he locked horns with Dennis Schroder.
Victor Wembanyama and Dennis Schroder’s conversation goes viral
A leaked audio circulated showing Victor Wembanyama’s heated exchange with the Toronto Raptors guard Dennis Schroder. The incident took place during a match between the Raptors and the Spurs. Both teams gave it their all right up until the very end, and the game was extremely tight and went into overtime.
Wemby once stumbled to the ground while attempting to close the distance on Schroder in a play. Schroder offered to help Wemby to get up but was ignored.
Schroder’s admission that he was attempting to assist Wemby exposed some verbal back and forth between the two. The 7-foot-4 big man responded to the 2023 FIBA World Cup MVP in a somewhat unwelcome. “I don’t need your help,” said Wembanyama in response to Schroder.
The French big man finished the game with 20 points, nine rebounds, and four assists. However, that was insufficient to win the game for his team. He demonstrated his threat level on both ends of the floor and added five blocks to the stat sheet.
Victor Wembanyama’s performance in NBA so far
In his first game of the season, Wembanyama was called for five fouls in 23 minutes of play against the Dallas Mavericks. The French center did show some flashes in that game, scoring nine points in a four-minute stretch in the fourth quarter and eventually earned praise from Luca Doncic.
Wemby later shined in his performance against the Phoenix Suns. Wembanyama led a stunning comeback victory on Halloween with nine points in the fourth quarter against the Suns. Owing to a scheduling conflict, the actual odds-moving performance took place in Phoenix again two days later when Wembanyama pulled down ten rebounds and scored 38 points on 15 of 26 shots.
