This season’s number one attraction in the French league, Victor Wembanyama will, of course, be at the Accor Arena in Paris at the end of December to participate in the LNB All-Star Game. And the star that will shine brightest in the public eye is him and no one else.
Why yes, Wemby will be the most awaited. The French phenomenon considered the greatest perspective in history by some Hexperts really was chosen by the public to represent the French selection at the LNB All-Star Game (next December 29), a bit like in the NBA where the two players with the most votes are chosen to be the captains of their respective teams. Fyi, former Nets player Mike James will represent the world draft.

But Victor will not be alone in the field for the BetClic ELITE star game. According to the National Basketball League Twitter account, Wembanyama will also participate in the 3-point contest the same evening, the opportunity for him to free himself with one leg 3 as he was able to do against Limoges. Of course we’re kidding, but it will be a big challenge for Wemby, who is shooting just 31% behind the arc this season and who will be up against discipline specialists like Nicolas Lang, Keith Hornsby and Nando De Colo.
