Sport has flowed through the veins of the Wembanyamas for several generations, and it is now basketball that has it first. Thus, Eve, big sister of Oscar and Victor, sets an example by being a professional player for several years. Presentation.
Among the Wembanyamas, sport occupies a prominent place. It must be said that with a father who was a specialist in the triple jump, a mother who was a basketball player, and such sizes, the children were necessarily destined to try their hand at sports games. Of course, the best known of the siblings is Victor, already a worldwide phenomenon, scrutinized from all sides by scouts, and on his way to the NBA next summer. For his last season on French soil, he will move to Boulogne-Levallois next year, where he signed from ASVEL.
ASVEL is precisely the new home of Oscar Wembanyama. Aged 15, the one who first practiced handball joined the Rhone club from Nanterre, like his brother a few years before him. He will try to find a place with the U18s of Tony Parker’s club.
Eve Wembanyama, senior and professional basketball player
Finally, Eve Yema Wembanyama is the eldest, at the height of her 20 years. The 1m83 player began her career at ASVEL (again!), the time to collect a few micro-pieces of matches and to taste very briefly the joys of the Euroleague. It was then on the side of Calais in LF2 that the one who went through several young categories in the French team, winning the medal of European champion U16, was able to flourish.
With the Calais team, Eve Wembanyama delivered a first discreet learning season in 2020-21. She ramped up in the 2021-22 fiscal year, which she finished with averages of 6.1 points and 3.8 rebounds. His last game, against Toulouse, was also the most successful (13 points, 8 rebounds, 3 steals in 32 minutes of play). What a glimpse of beautiful things for the future.
In addition to leading a career that we wish her the most brilliant possible in the years to come, the young woman has contributed, with her mother, to laying the groundwork for Oscar and Victor in their learning. The Wembanyama project is in any case a great success, since the three offspring, each on their respective scale, are at thrilling phases and full of prospects in their careers.
It remains to wish them that this trend continues, and that everyone flourishes in their career. By going, because their competitive soul demands it, as high as possible.
Eve Wembanyama has the whole future ahead of her, like her two brothers. Parents can be proud of their offspring, who have not finished, we hope, to delight us!
