Kariéra
Kdo je Wembanyama
Victor Wembanyama stepped onto the NBA landscape on draft night in 2023, when the San Antonio Spurs made him the first overall pick out of France's Metropolitans. Before that selection, his development crisscrossed French basketball: a debut at Nanterre, a stop at Centre Fédéral de Basket-ball, and a title-winning run with ASVEL. At twenty-two, he now anchors the Spurs frontcourt as a center and power forward, wearing jersey number one. His rim protection has already set a standard, with three consecutive NBA blocks titles through 2025. This campaign sees him established as a two-time All-Star and the reigning Defensive Player of the Year; he added Western Conference finals MVP honours in 2026, having earlier won Rookie of the Year, proof of his impact beyond the regular season.
