San Antonio Spurs All-Star Victor Wembanyama‘s sophomore campaign came to an abrupt end after he was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder.
The French superstar will miss the remainder of the season, effectively removing him from contention for any individual awards, including Defensive Player of the Year.
He was crushed! Victor Wembanyama finds the car of his dreams but the vehicle has a major flaw
Wembanyama, who averaged 24.3 points, 11.0 rebounds and a league-leading 3.8 blocks per game, was widely considered the frontrunner for the award. However, new NBA rules require a minimum of 65 games played to qualify, making him ineligible after appearing in just 46 contests.
Wembanyama finds the car of his dreams, but…
The official height for the No. 1 pick in the 2023 draft is 7 feet, 3-1/2 inches – and that was measured without shoes, per NBA guidelines, making him the league’s 2nd-tallest player. Officially, the NBA listed Boban Marjanovic at 7-foot-4 this past season, making him the league’s tallest player.
That makes Wembanyama‘s height a great advantage on the court… and that could also be a disadvantage on real life. And that’s just what happened when the French basketball player was looking for a car to buy recently. Specifically, a Nissan 370Z Coupe.
The problem is that the 2-door, 2-seater sports car, manufactured by Nissan Motor Company, is not the best vehicle for a person over 7 feet, as it was clear from a video posted online where we see Wemby struggled to get in and out of the car. You can see the huge dissapointment in the basketball player’s face, as he has to find some other vehicle where he can actually fit.
Wemby has the keys to take the NBA into a new era
The sheer human steepness of Victor Wembanyama gets people reaching for the cell. To stand next to the San Antonio Spurs center, at 7-foot-3, just for the size disparity makes for a you-can’t-believe-this snapshot.
This means the line forms to the right and around the block. He’s been approached by people from all walks of life, from celebrities to ordinary types to fellow NBA players and even his teammates, who often bring family members for a quick pic next to Vic.
With Wembanyama, who just turned 21, the future of the NBA is in good hands, which, by the way, are always extended. As the league braces for the cyclical and inevitable transition from an aging core of generational players to the next, Wemby is bringing the whole package – charisma, presence, skills and yes, all that vertical – to the forefront.
