Real. No bs, honest about how he feels and what he can and cannot say.
We all get pretty clearly how fucked up the situation currently is.
Regular Wemby W
W-emby!
My fucking GOAT. This is what a real superstar does.
More manly than actual grown men in this country
Spurs media team must be absolutely flummoxed to have a superstar who will actually voice opinions
“Saying everything that’s on my mind will have consequences too great to me right now”
he knows there’s a non zero chance he gets deported if he said more extreme stuff. i wonder what his thoughts are on abolishing ICE
The biggest rising star in the NBA is afraid that if he expresses himself that the government will retaliate and deport him.
Let that fucking sink in.

Imagine this keeps up and all international athletes just leave and go home?
He’s so goated
Wemby W, i get not being able to speak your mind because of real consequences for you & your family but still wanting to acknowledge it.
Kids a smart young man.
The US is under a dictatorship and dictators do what this goverment is doing. Simple as that.
W and Anthony Edwards cant even give his own fans this much sympathy
That’s my king. So proud to have him as the face of our franchise. We are so lucky
real respect for his candor, he is saying what a lot of us are thinking/feeling lately. guess im a spurs fan now FUCK.
Gj wemby be real
I’m sure this made Pop very proud to hear.
He gave a *very* good answer the first time, guys. Move along and let him keep it to what he’s comfortable with. Nobody misunderstood the first statement and needed the follow ups. I know that’s nitpicky, and I’m not saying it’s a horrible offense those guys asked those follow up questions, but read the room.
You just know that he isn’t staying in the US when he’d finished playing ball.
Guy going to make widows peaks great again
This guy is so likeable, reads the books that I read, not afraid to speak up, confident in himself. This is a proper pro athlete that kids CAN idolize.
Freedom is an illusion, really sad what our veterans fought so hard to keep and now it seems to slip away so easily
League’s in good paws I mean massive, meaty, hands now.
Mavs fan falling in love with Spurs player. Only fascists could make it happen.
Fuck ICE.
I respect Wemby saying what he can and being honest that there is a lot he cannot say, considering he’s not a citizen so easier to send him out of the country (mind you at this point the consequences for citizens seem to be worse…).
This slide towards darkness has been in progress for a long time, and getting worse this century in particular, yet reflecting on how far we’ve fallen in my lifetime hurts.
He’s so ridiculously composed for his age. What an impressive, down to earth dude who also happens to be 7’5 and incredibly good at basketball
WEMBY!!! More!!!!
the head shake and loss for words is what so many of us are feeling right now.
not only the fact it happened, but the fact so many morons are defending and trying to justify it, in the name of politics.
Good shit.
Everyone with a platform should be using it.
Well… being french i’m pretty sure what he really thinks but he is tied to living in the US if he wants to stay in the NBA.
Wemby a real one. Can’t wait for the next decade of Ant v. Wemby match ups. Sick budding rivalry with mutual respect. Love that he spoke out supporting MN. Also, dude is French, could probably teach us a couple tricks when it comes to effectively protesting…..
This is all we ask for…. Some many athletes won’t even acknowledge the problem and that’s what drives me crazy. Just tell the people you can’t truly speak your mind on the situation, we all can read between the lines
Refreshing to hear someone say “I’m not gonna say something politically correct” and have it be a positive thing.
Remember Wemby at home have far-right fascist Le Pen (Rassemblement Nacional) getting bigger every year… its not only the US, this is a world thing where all this parties follow the same topics and talking points.
Man it’s so refreshing to have something other than PR responses for once
Thats Pops boy. It’s Wemby’s league
Rockets fan my whole life.
Wemby fan for life now.
IMO – Fred and the players union should just not play.
IDGAF about entertainment when civilians are at risk of being killed for demanding accountability and equity for everyone.
Fuck the billionaire owners and their bottom line, fuck sponsors for the league, fuck the entire system.
thank you GOAT
Can’t tell if he’s media trained or just going from the heart but this a great answer. Probably helps that you’re asking a French guy about protesting and revolution.
French man knows what needs to be done. News at 5.
Victor Wembanyama channeling his inner Gregg Popovich. The stunning thing about this is that he says very clearly that he cannot say what he would like to say because of the consequences.
Obviously an athlete has bigger issues such as losing sponsorships, but saying “the government sending masked government agents into the streets and peoples homes where they have killed people multiple times is bad” is not a Democrat/Republican or left/right issue. People generally going about living their lives don’t want to be harassed or killed by the government. We built our country on this idea.
Afraid to speak in the land of the free. God you seppos have ruined your country.
Well done on VIC for saying what he could.
He’s a well read young man who seems very well grounded in who he is and his world view, from what he’s said he definitely has stronger opinions on this but can’t express it

This guy was raised incredibly well.
Pop is so fucking proud of this kid today
