NBA: Freshly arrived in the USA, Victor Wembanyama is already homesick?

The Spurs hit the jackpot with the first choice of the last NBA draft, and therefore Victor Wembanyama. The French prodigy clearly represents the promise of better days in Texas and his promising debut only confirmed that idea. However, the adaptation has not been easy for the interior. A drama with Britney Spears, very intrusive media, Wemby needed to breathe. He also confessed that he missed France.
Caught in a real whirlwind since the NBA draft, Victor Wembanyama decided to say stop. At the end of its second Summer League match, much more successful than the first, the tricolor interior announced its decision to take a step back for a month, to focus on basketball but also to take a few vacations: “As I will not be playing the World Cup, I have two to three months, two to three very good months coming up. These months will change my life, and I will probably disappear from the media for a month,” he announced.
” I miss them “
But now, in a video posted on social networks by the NBA account, Wembanyama showed a certain nostalgia for his native country. Arrived in the United States at the end of June, the 2.24m player indulged in a few secrets about his past life in France and he made a touching admission, admitting that he misses it for a very specific reason: “I don’t really eat croissants because it’s not healthy, but I miss them. The ones here aren’t ugly, but they’re weird. What I also miss is my mother’s cooking. She cooks several dishes well, such as veal blanquette. I haven’t eaten it for months. The ratatouille too… I miss the way she cooks. »
A new start
Far from French gastronomy and his family, Victor Wembanyama feels a little homesick. Nothing to worry about since the French giant is very well surrounded, especially by his coach Gregg Popovich. But at only 19 years old, it is inevitably difficult to leave everything suddenly, especially when the whole world is watching you evolve in a world that you do not know. The former Boulogne-Levallois will therefore use the few weeks of rest he has to acclimatize to his new life.
