The French phenom just recreated oneof Michael Jordan’s most iconic moments at the Summer Olympics
Victor Wmebanyama and Michael JordanOne of France’s greatest hopes for this edition of the Paris Olympic Games is young phenom Victor Wembanyama, the youngster who
just had his rookie season in the NBA with the San Antonio Spurs. For many, Wemby seems destined to become one of the greatest basketball players of all time and he just gave us a moment that made Michael Jordan even more iconic than he already was. The only difference is that for MJ, this moment didn’t come during an official game, it came during a movie. To be specific, that moment came during the ‘Space Jam‘ from the late ‘1990s. Wemby played the first Olympic match up against Brazil and led them to a victory.
Wembanyama’s game vs Brazil in numbers
Victor Wembanyama was the man of the match against Brazil with 19 points, 9 rebounds, 3 blocks, and 2 assists. But the most impressive moment from the youngster was when he recreated one of Michael Jordan’s most iconic moments from his entire career. Funny enough, that moment didn’t come during one of his official games. At actually came during the ‘Space Jam‘ movie and it’s something completely impossible to achieve. Or so we thought… It’s the moment Michael Jordan stretched his arm in an unnatural way to score a basket with multiple monstars guarding him. One of the most iconic scenes in animeted film history. Wemby just pulled off a similar play. Evenhis own teammates are already saying it.
Kevin Durant trolls Nike for excluding him from Olympic commercial
After tha game, coach Vincent Collet said what everybody was already thinking: “This week, I would say three days before the game, I felt he was a little bit stressed. So we talked together and everybody around, teammates, rest of the staff, and we tried to help him. And I think he’s so mature, day by day he got better with that, and he just wanted to start. In France, everybody waits for him like, I don’t know which word to use, but everybody waits for him. You have the people who know basketball and they understand he’s only 20 years old. But people that like sports but don’t know basketball, they think Victor is already Michael Jordan. Take time, take time.”
