Victor Wembanyama, like all NBA players, sometimes needs to decompress. Some do it in the evening, others by spending large sums on cars, but not the young Frenchman. He developed a rather unique passion in this environment.
If Victor Wembanyama was hanging out on social networks this Wednesday, he must have had a big smile when he learned that the negotiations between the league and the broadcasters were moving in the right direction. In all likelihood the NBA is expected to sell its TV rights for around $7 billion per season, a record that will have direct consequences on the lives of superstars.
Indeed, the salary cap of franchises could increase by 10% and exceed 200 million, which means that the best players could, within the framework of a “supermax” contract, receive up to 95 million dollars over a season. ! For fans it is now obvious, Wemby will be the first to become a billionaire in the NBA thanks to his contracts with Spurs alone.
Victor Wembanyama discovers a new passion
While waiting for a new explosion in salaries, the Spurs number 1 had to “settle for” 12 million in his first season and therefore relatively modest purchases. Texan journalist Noah Magaro-George heard a few rumors about Victor Wembanyama’s latest indulgence, and he’s obviously following in Tim Duncan’s footsteps:

Love hearing that Wembanyama made a trip to Heroes and Fantasies. My brother was a manager there back in the day and Tim Duncan would drop by for Dungeons and Dragons miniatures. Sounds like San Antonio has their next nerdy superstar.

I like to hear that Wembanyama went to the Heroes and Fantasies store. My brother was a manager at the time and Tim Duncan would come and buy Dungeons and Dragons figures. San Antonio has its next geek superstar.
A few days later the revelations about his first big purchase as an NBA player, Victor Wembanyama did it again but with another fanciful universe. When others spend large sums on clothes, he settles for simple things. New passion or little gift so you don’t arrive empty-handed at your one-on-one meal with Gregg Popovich?

Victor Wembanyama is not like young people his age. He doesn’t want to party or spend money, he only thinks about the great career that awaits him. And to clear his head, he has fun with figurines or toys…
