Victor Wembanyama, the 7’4″ NBA phenom who plays for the San Antonio Spurs, was spotted enthusiastically supporting Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) during their UEFA Champions League match against Manchester City at Parc des Princes in Paris on Jan. 22.
Wembanyama, dressed in a black puffer jacket, stood out in the crowd for his remarkable height. The 21-year-old, who has taken the basketball world by storm since being drafted first overall in the NBA, showed off his love for football by joining the PSG faithful for one of the season’s most anticipated matches against Manchester City.
The French-born NBA superstar has long been vocal about his Parisian roots, and his appearance at Parc des Princes reinforced his tight bond with the city.
Social media erupted with excitement as fans posted photos and videos of the basketball prodigy celebrating in the action.
This isn’t the first time Wembanyama has captured headlines beyond the basketball court. Last year, he caused controversy when Britney Spears claimed a member of his security team struck her during a public incident in Las Vegas. The situation led Wembanyama to step back from the spotlight to focus on himself.
