my GOAT WEMBY
The Spurs should trade Wemby for Derozan and call Aldridge from retirement.
Victor, on t'aime !!!!
Go spurs Go!! Got my Wemby shirt ready lol
Don't try to do it all by yourself, always play as a team…
GoSpursGo
New Duncan has arrived.
WEMBYYY
SUBTITLES SPURS!
Let’s get it brother Wemby
Man I love this dude! Says he’s looking forward to anchor that defense! As Vic said, dope!
T'inquiète Wemby à 3h30 demain on sera là pour ton premier match. On pourra dire qu'on y était.
Wemby says also in the french interview "The cardio is different, I cant say for now if it is harder or not, but definitly players here run and jump everywhere I never seen that in any sport. But the basket court is smaller than in Europe and I feel like there are more or maybe longer timeout so we can rest more thourhg out the game".
go get it.
🏆🏆🏆
lottery
Of course keldon is making noise😂
The new era officially begins. Its exciting to be a spurs fan once again!
You should allow closed captions so English speakers can get the French and vice versa. Noticed that there is now little background noise during interviews. Thank you.
🟦⬜🟥French questions: 'Maxime: ''I see that there are a lot of French journalists here and you have a real popularity in France (engouement is French word for passion, craze, buzz, popularity). Does this buzz cary you/gives you some energy, strength?."
_VB. '' of course I am happy that San Antonio’s fans are supporting me but that French fans are cheering me is even (pire/worse fr. word used popularly meaning) more extraordinary. Sometimes I see to french flags in the arenas, I always wave a hand, say hello, give high fives, it’s really a nice feeling, these are my roots, my blood.
_ Journalist 2 (respectuously using ‘’vous’’ it’s a polite You not familiar you)‘’Victor , tomorrow, in less than 24h, you’ll realize a dream you made since you were a kid, what are the physical feelings you have thinking of it? DO you feel butterflies in the stomach…’’
_VB.:”yeah, a bit (nervous laughs)”
_”…Can you describe your feelings?’’
_VB.”yeah some butterflies in the belly, like I always feel a bit before each game… it depends on the stakes, on the importance of the game… nothing…I don’t start sweating nor shaking but… that’s the way it is, a little stomach ache(he scratches his head nervously then smiling)
_Journalist 3 ‘’good day Victor…
_ Victor: ‘’… Hi!…” (salut is casual in French and nice, warm)
_ J. “RMC (Radio Monte Carlo), how did you embrace the SA’s life? We met some fans and they are as much excited by your basketball talents than by the fact you are integrating yourself into the community… the tacos, the hats, the frescos/painting walls you signed… how do you feel with this life?
_V. “there ‘s nothing to reproach, I did not see a single person being negative towards me (we’ll forgive him for the Britney Spears incident), it’s the best environment in which I could be. When everything is fine, it’s easy to support but I know that SA fans loyalty is above any other one among fan bases I know that even in difficult moments, they’ll be there’’
_ Journalist 4 “Victor, what were the coah and staff’s instructions for tomorrow? If you are allow to talk about some parts of it of course. (remark we don’t know if it’s about team’s or Victor personal instruction from Pop so forgive me fi I am wrong)
_ VB “what I am allow to say? Pop ended his speech by simple advice saying we/I(not sure) need to play harder and smarter than the opponent and I think it’s important because in important games like the first season;s game, we can have a tendency to lose ourselves into what we expect of us personally of ourselves(/myself),into tactics but at the end it’s about playing harder and stronger
_ Journalist 5 “Victor(another journalist was fighting to have also a question simultaneously), the NBA is the highest internation level, tomorrow it will be Kyrie Irving, Luka Doncic, do you think you will be able to test yourself against the best player in the world. I suppose it’s thrilling?
_ journalist 6 “there are some thousands French people that will watch you tomorrow morning at 2-3am…
_ VB “…3.30am!..
_ J: “…oyou too maybe have lived the same experience when you had to watch NBA at nigh. What message would you like to pass to all those spectators who’ll watch you at 2-3am and the rest of the season?
_ VB: “prepare a lot of coffee (smiling)… it’s a nice feeling as I said, when I remark some support especially from French people, I try to thank them and show that I am touched and I hope I can pay it back one day or another but I hope you’ll enjoy the whole season!”
-journalist 7: “how did you feel with the rhythm, you played 20min each time?
_VB “it’s different with cardio , there are much more physical contact in Europe but here it runs and jumps as nowhere else as in no other sports. These are different universes, I needed a certain time to adapt my game and it will continue but I feel as if there were more timeouts or they are longer (laughs) so I allows to …why? It’s funny? SO even if we run a lot, it gives more time to rest”
French fry looked gassed already after 1 quarter 😆
This kid has a winner’s mentality I haven’t seen this type a attitude since Jordan’s rookie year
Listening to him, he sounds so wise and experienced! Almost makes him seem older than he actually is. 😊 Keep up the great work!
This is a Spurs Game before everything else and Wemby knows that. I am very excited to watch this game even if it starts at 3:40 am over here 🙂
On est derriere toi Wemby 🔥🔥
Kinda rule in that transfer to French
He already lost some of the weight he put on. He ll need to rest, eat properly, and have lots, lots of sleep to regain the muscle mass he ll lose with the gruelling nba schedule
Wemby's hand can be a stunt double for the movie Alien. When the face hugger hand pops out of the egg so it can face palm a live host! 😂 Go Spurs Go. The Alien 👽 gonna make ppl sleepless nights! They'll toss & turn in bed like dude on the table b4 the baby alien busted thru his stomach! 😂
The guy is just 19! Speaks French, English, brillant student and future NBA star, what else?? 😮
Como se llama? Wembanyama!
