Victor Wembanyama, the emerging star in the NBA, has made a clear declaration of his sporting allegiance: "My team is PSG."

In the NBA, "Wemby" has quickly become a standout player for the San Antonio Spurs. At 7 feet 4 inches, he brings a unique combination of height, efficiency, and agility to the court. His impressive average statistics stand at 18.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game. Notably, Wembanyama is just 19 years old.

In an interview with French daily Le Parisien, Wembanyama expressed his admiration for PSG and recalled meeting another French sports icon, Kylian Mbappé. "We are both young, from the same generation and we are each trying to accomplish things in our sport. But we both have to write our own story and for him as for me, even if he's got a little head start, it's only just beginning. Many things are still to be written and I hope that, for him as well as for me, the pages will be beautiful," said Wembanyama.

Mbappé himself, along with actor Omar Sy, met Wembanyama in May, shortly before the NBA draft lottery, to offer encouragement. Reflecting on Wembanyama's talent, Mbappé stated on beIN Sports France, “You don't need to be a high-level athlete to know that this guy is special. What we can do is accompany him, support him, admire what he has already done and what he will do in the future."

Wembanyama's commitment to PSG and his burgeoning relationship with Mbappé highlight a unique bond between two of France's most promising athletes. As Wembanyama continues to excel in the NBA, his heart remains with PSG, underscoring his deep connection to his roots and the world of football.
