Victor Wembanyama, a player for the San Antonio Spurs, spoke about the upcoming Olympic Games and his excitement.
It has been an amazing year for the young French basketball player. After an initial period of adaptation in the NBA, he quickly became one of the most influential players in the entire league.
He has already received the Rookie of the Year award, indicating a bright future ahead. Both the Spurs and the French national team stand to benefit greatly. The French national team has announced their preliminary roster for the Olympic Games, and Wembanyama is included.
“We all want to succeed and follow the plan. We know that we will have a different team profile. We will have to be innovative. I am here to learn from some of the best players in the history of the national team. I am not here to explain anything to players with five, six, or seven international campaigns under their belts. For sure, I will have responsibilities, but they will be realistic.
I will have as many as necessary. The schedule is shaped according to my training plan until starting camp with the national team. I have been dreaming of experiencing the Olympic Games for a very long time”, Victor Wembanyama said.
