Open Thread: Victor Wembanyama expresses gratitude for the opportunity to play in Paris

The young man exudes confidence and appreciation on and off the court
This postgame interview moment posted on Instagram shows just how much the San Antonio Spurs two games that took place in Paris, France meant to Victor Wembanyama.
“I just want to underline this week was amazing, just seeing my family. I’m trying not to get emotional. Everybody made their job to making this week incredible and it’s…everybody, even you guys, so thank you for making it happen. It’s a whole system. And all this contributes to making our sport better and making me happy at the end of the day. So thank you.”
A heartfelt moment. Pretty eloquent considering his emotional state. He’s gracious and mature beyond his years.
It’s hard to imagine a better ambassador for the league, especially as it continues to expand its message and worldwide popularity.
