NBA fans are already salivating over it. Next year, the match relocated to Paris should feature the one that everyone is talking about in France and the United States, the unmissable Wemby. NBA commissioner Adam Silver, present in the French capital, did not formally confirm it, but the path seems clear for the arrival of Victor Wembanyama, in whom Silver says he sees “a probable icon for the twenty-year-olds.” future “.
“We can’t confirm it but we are working to bring the San Antonio Spurs here,” the NBA boss said on Wednesday during a press briefing with a few journalists. Victor spoke to us directly about it. He would like to experience this match. We would love to bring him here with San Antonio. » It’s as if it was done, and even for – big news – two meetings this time, said Tony Parker in the corridors of Bercy on Thursday. The designated opponent would be Indiana.
“If it happens I would feel very very lucky, it would be really special,” commented the person concerned after his first triple-double during the Spurs victory in Detroit on Wednesday. It would surely be one of the most intense, most valuable matches of my life if it comes true.”
If the negotiations on the poster are therefore well advanced, those on the room where these matches will take place are not at the same stage. According to The Team, the Americans would like to leave Bercy to settle in La Défense Arena in Nanterre, with its 30,000 seats in basketball configuration. An even bigger setting to welcome Wemby twice in a few days? Not many people will say that this is a bad idea.
