The NBA keeps accounts of the views on social networks of the different highlights, and the communication Department reveals that Victor Wembanyama has just reached one billion views! The Spurs pivot ranks 3rd for the current season, behind LeBron James (1.3 billion) and Stephen Curry (1.2 billion). At the first score, at the end of December, the Frenchman was 2nd, and Curry therefore overtook him.
The Frenchman can boast of having broken the historical record for a video with 153 million views on the various NBA platforms. It was last December 31 with this dunk against the Celtics.
A month ago, the NBA revealed that this same Wembanyama was also a hit in stores, since his jersey is already one of the best-selling since the start of the season on the NBA Store. “Wemby” ranks 4th behind Stephen Curry, Jayson Tatum And LeBron James.
Not to mention its impact on subscription sales in San Antonio, and overall television audiences. A real phenomenon, which goes beyond the field.
