Photos: Victor Wembanyama’s first weekend in San Antonio

It was a whirlwind weekend for San Antonio Spurs fans and No. 1 NBA Draft pick Victor Wembanyama.

Wembanyama, otherwise known as “Wemby,” arrived in the Alamo City on Saturday to a throng of fans waiting for him at the airport.

As soon as the 7-foot-3 basketball player stepped out of the plane, fans erupted in cheers, with one television reporter even handing him a bag of breakfast tacos.

The excitement around the French player’s arrival didn’t end there.

Wembanyama went on to visit a party at the Arneson River Theatre downtown, and then attended a press conference at the AT&T Center, along with second-round draft pick Sidy Cissoko.

There, journalists and fans got to see him shoot around a basketball on the court, donning a Spurs jersey of his own.

“I’m really enjoying the moment,” Wembanyama said to the media. “Everywhere I’ve been, I’ve been welcomed.”

Later that day, the basketball sensation posted a Twitter photo with Spurs basketball royalty Tim Duncan, David “The Admiral” Robinson, Manu Ginóbili and Sean Elliott. They were reportedly at the Southtown restaurant Bliss for dinner.

“Couldn’t ask for better role models,” Wemby wrote in the caption of the Tweet, which soon went viral in San Antonio.

And as the most highly touted prospect since LeBron James, we have a feeling this won’t be his only viral moment.

But for now, Wembanyama said he is going to look at houses before flying to Portland to meet with Nike.

Take a look at the photos below for a recap of Wemby’s first weekend in San Antonio.
