Wembanyama is an extended name, ten letters that will make most basketball commentators sweat in the next fifteen years. And if for the moment it is the phenomenon Victor who monopolizes the attention, his little brother Oscar could also become the favorite player of your favorite player. Focus.
Victor Wembanyama, here is a name that even the hermit of the most lost town in France can potentially know. We don’t tell you anything, the hype around the young player is as big as the person concerned… and he is really very big. But before being the future number one of the Draft 2023, Totor is also a big brother. Family is important, so let’s meet Oscar Wembanyama, 15 years old and already taller than you and all your combined smala. Like the rest of the family, Wemby’s little brother is immersed in sport, but before talking about tomar, cross or shoot in the race – yes, it’s always said – Oscar was more of a roucoulette, chabala or kung fu type. As you will have understood, Oscar Wembanyama played handball. You know, this sport that Nikola Karabatic has been practicing since the separation of the continents and which ensures a French medal at each Olympiad. For Oscar Wembanyama, the hand went rather well since the brother of Wemby squatted the selection of Yvelines during his last years. In comments reported by sports magVictor also spoke of his brother’s passion for handball:
“My brother, Oscar, is at Le Chesnay where he plays handball. He is part of the Yvelines selection. Like all of us, he has high-level ambitions. »
Lusts that must always be similar, even if today Oscar only has the right to two steps before shooting. Indeed, since 2020 the kid has been walking the basketball courts in the footsteps of his big brother. Last year, under the colors of Nanterre, Wemby 2.0 won the title of champion of France with the U15 Nationals of the greens after a narrow victory in the final against ASVEL (80-78). With the same physical profile as his brother, the boy is not clumsy with the ball either, a genetic dexterity therefore, but also from his past in handball. A reputedly rough sport which also risks having given him a taste for defense. Obviously it’s still too early to judge his exact level and Oscar will have all the time he needs to improve, but son potential has not gone unnoticed by… ASVEL, which signed Oscar this summer. The former hand player now plays for the Rhone National U18 team andfed in one of the best training centers in France, position 4 has everything to develop his game as well as possible.

Did you like the big 3-pointers with the board too? All is not perfect for the number eleven – fortunately for a guy who started basketball only a short time ago – but Oscar Wembanyama will surely be watched in his development. Inevitably, his name can also open a few doors to him, as was the case on August 15 when he appeared in the Euro Tour Axis. In a room in Nanterre where he has his habits, Totor’s little brother had faced Bronny James and his friends. In the midst of this effervescence of young prodigies, Oscar was there to learn and he had only played a few minutes, enough to make people talk about him by sending evening Frenchie Bilal Coulibaly into orbit.
Oscar, the younger brother of Victor Wembanyama, dishes a sweet pass to Bilal Coulibaly for the exclamation point ‼️

As your aunt says, “boys grow up to the age of 21”, Oscar is already 1m98 at 15 years old and the zinzin is therefore likely to gain a little more altitude in the years to come. In a training center that is used to releasing nuggets, the progression curve of the youngest of the Wembys can quickly become worrying… and we wonder what they can eat for breakfast.
You will have understood it, the family Antetokounmpo Wembanyama hasn’t finished surprising you and after Victor, it may be Oscar who will soon be talked about. From handball to the U18s of ASVEL via Nanterre, the course is not common and if he continues his ascent, we could well see him in the professional world just like his brother and his sister… genetics, we tell you said!
