Victor Wembanyama has found a new fan, and it’s not just anyone. Former United States President <a href="https://www.archysport.com/2022/01/in-the-united-states-the-all-powerful-nfl-crushes-everything-in-its-path-even-the-nba/" title="In the United States, the all-powerful NFL crushes everything in its path, even the NBA“>Barack Obama has made no secret of his admiration for the French giant San Antonio Spurs. A big NBA fan, the one who actively participates in Kamala Harris’ campaign was a guest on the podcast “The Young Man and the Three” broadcast on YouTube to talk basketball alongside the leader of the Indiana Pacers, Tyrese Haliburton.
And when talking about his favorite NBA teams for this season, Barack Obama digressed alone towards “Wemby”. “It’s hard to watch anything other than Wembanyama when he’s on the floor,” he admitted. To the point of daring comparison with some very big names in the orange ball.
“He makes you look like dwarves”
“When Kevin Durant arrived in the NBA, it was amazing. We had never seen someone so tall with such technical qualities… Larry Bird was also very tall, Magic Johnson… But frankly this guy… He makes you look like dwarfs”, he launched in the direction of Tyrese Haliburton (1.96 m), who gives almost 30 cm to the 2.24 m Frenchman.
The French Olympic vice-champion begins his second season in the NBA on the night of Thursday to Friday (1:30 a.m.) on the floor of the Dallas Mavericks. With Barack Obama as the first supporter behind his television screen.
