When the San Antonio Spurs won the 2023 NBA Draft Lottery, the entire city was ecstatic. They had won the right to pick Victor Wembanyama, a guy who every team was clamoring over for years. Every team with a Ping Ping ball in the lottery that offseason was pleading to see their ball come out on top. But it was the Spurs, and they were hyped.
And the love was reciprocated. When Wembanyama’s reaction was videoed, he was amped to be a part of the Spurs organization. Ever since he’s donned the black and silver, he’s been beaming, excited to be a part of such an amazing organization.
During All-Star Weekend, he put his happiness into words, gushing about the city of San Antonio and the Spurs organization. (H/t Tom Osborn of the San Antonio Express-News)
“This is really the best place for me,” Wembanyama said. “I said that over and over. I couldn’t dream of being in a better place.”
Victor reiterated how happy he is to be a Spur and to play for a franchise where “what matters most is to be a good person.”
“This is really the best place for me," he added. "I said that over and over. I couldn’t dream of being in a better place.”

Having a superstar is great. But having a superstar who genuinely wants to play for the organization is even better.
