Everyone is talking about Victor Wembanyama and his participation this season with the Spurs. Victor is a candidate for Defensive Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year. If he gets it, he will be the first in the NBA to get both at the same time.
However, the Wembanyama family includes Victor and Oscar. The youngest Wembanyama brother is almost 17 years old and is already 6’8″, which makes him a prospect.
Oscar Wembanyama
The little Wembanyama is with ASVEL junior and is the star of the French team. Although he has only recently started playing basketball, he has already demonstrated his talent in the Adidas Next Generation European youth tournament.
However, Oscar has made it clear that he wants to create his own path in basketball. His goal is not to be his brother’s shadow but to write his own story. For the young Wembanyama, his brothers are his motivation, as they have been champions in France.
Oscar Wembanyama, who used to play handball, a well-known sport in his country, decided to play basketball during Covid-19. The little player began to notice players like Vezenkov in Europe. He also looked up to Kevin Durant, Dirk Nowitzki, and Jason Williams in the NBA.
Basketball in the Wembanyama family
Basketball is in their blood because not only Victor and Oscar are dedicated to it. Sister Eva has also gained popularity by winning the U17 Eurobasket and participating in the U20 European Championship in 2021.
In addition, the boys’ father was a professional jumper, and their mother played basketball as a child, so basketball has been present throughout their lives. Even the grandparents have a history with the sport because their grandfather played in the 1960s, and their grandmother played basketball.
While it is true that basketball in the Wembanyama family has been present, Oscar has made it clear that his brother has helped him in many things and has fulfilled his role as a brother. So that leaves us much to be desired from the young man.
So everyone is wondering if we will see Oscar with the San Antonio Spurs or with another NBA team?
