Victor Wembanyama's FULL Press Conference Before Game 1 of NBA Finals | June 2, 2026

He's the real chosen one

Wemby speaking French is tough bro😮😮😮😮🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤

1:51 🇫🇷👽French journalist : Hello Victor, at this stage of the season, after everything you've been through in the playoffs and the physical toll of it all, do you think the excitement alone can carry you physically and carry the team physically? Or do you feel that at this point in the season it's really starting to dig deep into your reserves?

Victor Wembanyama : It was definitely a tough series, but knock on wood. No injuries so far, and hopefully it stays that way. At this point, though, I feel like I could play this series and another one after it.

4:33 Another french journalist : Hello Victor, three years ago when the Spurs won the lottery and got you, you said that deep down you felt it was your destiny to become a Spur. Did you also feel that this destiny would lead you to the Finals at such a young age? And last summer you said something very interesting—that the challenges you had gone through had accelerated your development.

Wemby : Of course. Yes, I felt it, just like any dream, I guess. But during a season—and especially during a playoff series—you go through so many emotions that you don't even have time to sit down and think about those things. The realization that we were in the NBA Finals, that we had just won the Western Conference Finals… all of that hit me during the last five seconds of the fourth quarter of Game 7. So managing all those emotions is a real challenge too. It's huge. 👽

5:34 VAMOS JOSEEE, DRAFTEADOS IN THE BUILDING

Reporter: What made you fall in love with basketball?

Victor: Well I grew to 7'5 with a crossover like Iverson and shoot 3s like Curry

French part.

Journalist : Hello Victor, at this stage of the season, after everything you've been through in the playoffs and the physical demands, do you think the excitement alone will be enough to sustain you physically ? Or do you feel that at this point in the season, it's starting to take its toll ?

Victor : It was definitely a tough series, but i keep my fingers cross, no injuries, and I hope it stays that way. But at this point, I feel like I can handle this series and the next one.

Journalist : Three years ago, when the Spurs drafted you, you said that deep down, you knew you were going to become a Spur player. Did you also feel that destiny would take you to the Finals at such a young age ? And you had this very interesting point last summer, saying that the challenges you've faced have accelerated things…

Victor : Of course, yes, I felt it like any dream, I want to say, but you feel so many things during a season and during a playoff series that you don't even have time to sit down and have those thoughts and the realization that we were in the NBA Finals and that we had just won the Conference Finals, all of that hit me in five seconds, in the last five seconds of the fourth quarter of Game Seven, so it's also a real challenge to manage all these emotions, it's huge.

Love u Victor 🥰
