Now that fans know what the San Antonio Spurs are getting with their franchise center, the excitement for the season is off the charts. Going into Victor Wembanyama’s rookie season, fans didn’t really know what to expect, and the season was full of experimentation.
This year, he is expected to be an All-Star, All-NBA player, and if the Spurs make the playoffs, be in the MVP conversation. Wembanyama has made it clear that he considers San Antonio his new home, and he took the time to speak to fans on Wednesday.
“The least I can do is give you guys 100% every game because I know you guys are going to be here, you’re going to come and support us, so thank you so much,” he said. “You can count on me for that. Go Spurs go!”
Last season, despite a lackluster record of only 22 wins and 60 losses, the Spurs were 15th across the NBA in attendance. Now that the young team hopes to play winning basketball, fans should expect a packed house at the Frost Bank Center night in and night out. Wembanyama, like most professional athletes, has promised to give his all, but for a player of his talents, that means a little bit more.
No one in the NBA is willing to work harder than Wemby, and his infectious competitiveness is expected to rub off on the rest of the team. The Spurs haven’t made the playoffs since 2019, easily the longest drought in franchise history, and Wembanyama is eager to get them back to relevance.
