Welcome to a special edition of Spurs Film Study, a video series where we examine the game tape to spotlight the nuances that often go overlooked during the initial surface-level viewing of most matchups. With the Paris Olympics ending earlier this month, it should be no surprise that Victor Wembanyama is the focus of our latest episode.
The reigning NBA Rookie of the Year had an excellent showing on home soil, capping off an impressive run to the gold medal game with 26 points, seven rebounds, and two assists against the United States. Not only did he help France compete for 40 minutes, but Wemby went toe-to-toe with living legends like LeBron James and Steph Curry.
Thank you for tuning in, Spurs fans! Let us know your favorite Wembanyama moment this summer and what you hope to see from the towering phenom this season!
