NBA: Wembanyama makes a terrible observation about the difference between France and the USA
Published on September 22, 2023 at 11:12 a.m.
Very discreet since July, Victor Wembanyama made his appearance in front of the French press on Monday on the sidelines of the preview of a documentary about him and retracing his last year. Among the topics covered: the difference between basketball in France and the United States. And the least we can say is that the French phenomenon is well placed to point out the problems in France.
The debut of Victor Wembanyama is slowly approaching, he who is relatively expected for his first steps in the NBA after the Summer League in July. The supporters are already looking forward to it, especially as Wemby is very ambitious and dreams of playoffs with the Spurs from its first season. He also confirmed this Monday his presence at the Olympic Games with the Blues for 2024 during his return to the media.
“Untapped potential” in France
With the Spurs, Gregg Popovich, Tony Parker or Tim Duncan, we say to ourselves that Wemby is well supported for the rest of his adventure. The former player of Mets 92 is in an ideal setting to shine and continue to grow, especially since the USA is different from France. And that, the insider was quickly able to notice: “I already knew it, but I am now all the more aware of the delay we have in France with regard to what we could do. The closest thing to my experience was Asvel, in terms of the professionalism of the coaches and staff: it was above the other teams in France. But there is real untapped potential for involvement. »
“The guys are sleeping in the room”
“In training here, beyond the fact that there are 15 coaches… A player falls to the ground, there is a little sweat on the floor, ten guys throw themselves on the ground to wipe up! Sometimes I’ll shoot at 7:30 in the morning, I don’t tell anyone, but there are four coaches who are there to take my rebounds! There you go… The guys are sleeping in the gym! Beyond the difference in means, I think there is untapped potential. » conceded The animal. Even if it’s anything but a surprise, Victor confirms it: the basketball mentality is relatively different between the USA and France.
