Victor Wembanyama did not know if he was going to be All-Star before the announcement of the replacements on the TNT plateau.
Like everyone, “Wemby” had to wait for the very end to have confirmation that he was going to participate in his first “star match”, since his name was the last of the 14 announced …
“It's great, it's great. I'm really proud. It was a little weird because I was announced last so I was shaking a little. It was a goal but it is not necessarily too early ” he smiles like this.
On the side of his teammates, no one, however, trembled.
“I had no concern” assures Keldon Johnson. “This is the first of a very, very long series. »»
The result of all his work
“It is the result of his first and a half year in this league and the work he did before that, trusting the process to improve gradually and not burn the stages”said the Spurs interim coach Mitch Johnson. “This allows his talent and his unique skills to shine”.
For Harrison Barnes, this first star is the symbol of “Weby “'s ability to meet expectations.
“Getting this recognition is something special. There have been so many expectations around him since his beginnings. It is really great that he obtained this place for the All-Star Game ” concludes the veteran.
