Victor Wembanyama is truly living a “ball is life” philosophy.
“I feel like I’m immune to the… distractions like partying, alcohol, drugs,” he told The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor on Thursday. “Like, why would I ever do that?
“I don’t have nothing to compensate for,” he added. “Because I choose to face… all the things that we have inside of us.”
Those words will be music to the ears of everyone within the San Antonio Spurs organization. Wemby is fresh off a brilliant rookie season in which he averaged 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 3.6 blocks and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 46.5 percent from the field and 32.5 percent from three.
If he’s already that impactful at 20 years of age, imagine the heights he can reach if he stays focused and dedicates himself to improving his game. It sounds as though he won’t have many distractions getting in the way of that goal.
