“Victor Wembanyama’s Confident Statement on Beating Team USA Annoys American Critics”

Victor Wembanyama will land in the NBA very soon, and literally tens of millions of Americans are waiting to see if Wemby lives up to the hype they have been sold. Above all, the French’s archi-confident sentences are sometimes misinterpreted in the country of Uncle Sam, and especially when they are directly concerned. The proof…

Victor Wembanyama has as much talent as confidence and expectations in him, and he doesn’t hide it. From his Draft, the big man of the Mets notably claimed to want to “win a ring as quickly as possible”, while he nevertheless arrives in one of the most mediocre team in the NBA. A mark of will and pride which has not gone unnoticed, and which reinforces the intrigue and the Wemby hype in the US.

Wembanyama’s sentence on Team USA that annoys Americans

To wait until the arrival of the phenomenon, the American media are plunging back into the least of his past statements, and they recently flushed out a sentence from the future number 1 of the Draft dated last fall. Wembanyama then evoked the French team and the Olympic Games, and he explained loud and clear that he wanted to beat Team USA:

Wemby has his eyes set on beating Team USA 👀

D0 2024? There couldn’t be a more perfect opportunity for me to win my first title with the French team. My goal is to beat Team USA in the final.

The problem is that if Wemby is the proud and confident type, Americans are the very proud and very confident type. So with the exception of a few fans, the critics fell on this Frenchman who has the audacity to want to bring down the monster Team USA:

The arrival in the NBA will bring him back to earth

The kid is too skinny to succeed in the NBA.

This ain’t Euro-ball.

This kid is too skinny for the NBA. It’s not Europe here.

Wemby……………let’s play some game first. Talk later.

Wemby… Play first, talk later.

While many observers are impatiently awaiting him on the other side of the Atlantic, some Americans are already annoyed by the confidence of Victor Wembanyama, ready to overturn everything in his path. The future will tell us if the Frenchman manages to silence his detractors…
