Already starred across the Atlantic, after his two monumental performances against Scoot Henderson’s G-League Ignite, Victor Wembanyama quickly became the object of American covetousness again this season.
As implied West France yesterday, the NBA did announce that it had reached an agreement with the LNB, to broadcast all future matches of Boulogne-Levallois (regular season + playoffs), as well as the LNB All-Star Game and the Leaders Cup, on its own platform and application!
A historic first for a league not affiliated with the NBA…
First game this Saturday!
Given the demand of the American public for the tricolor unicorn, this project could only be synonymous with success. Dominant in France at the start of the season, with almost 19 points (at 52% success rate), 8 rebounds and 3 blocks on average, Victor Wembanyama is already feeding social networks with highlights every weekend, but above all he allows his Mets team to prance in the top group in the standings, with four wins in five games.
Such as certain observers, who regretted not being able to attend the performances of “Wemby” only by means (very limited) of the Keemotion (ie an “automatic” camera located in the middle of the field), this agreement will give a new boost to “Wembamania” which has already been well underway since the start of the school year!
See you on Saturday evening, for the “debut” of Victor Wembanyama on the NBA application, on the occasion of the trip from Boulogne-Levallois to Bourg-en-Bresse. Note, however, that this content will not be accessible in France, because geo-blocked, but that it will always be possible to follow the French pivot for free on the LNB application or on BeIN Sports (depending on the programming)…
