Victor Wembanyama bows today to his calculations. Unimaginable just eight months ago when his analyzes tried to shed light on the game of a Dax team fighting to stay in Pro D 2. A leap at the speed of light between two very foreign universes. The improbable passage from a rough and anonymous world to another populated by giant stars shining all the spotlights on them. From Landes to Texas, from Dax to San Antonio, from rugby to the NBA, Victor Azalbert changed galaxies, quite surprised himself.
“Nothing was planned, I didn’t think about changing sports and even less about finding myself in the United States in the NBA,” he told the newspaper Sud-Ouest. If this sudden turn in the destiny of this young man of 27 is full of winks – same first name and same place of birth as Wembanyama in Chesnay in the Yvelines – it is not the wave of a magic wand.
