Surrounded by fellow youngsters, Victor Wembanyama enters a much different Spurs locker room than the one Tim Duncan joined in 1997.
Victor Wembanyama of Metropolitans 92 looks on during warmup before the Betclic Elite match between Metropolitans 92 and Roanne at Salle Marcel Cerdan on January 27, 2023 in Levallois-Perret, France.They were kids back then, even if the kids today hardly would recognize them as such.
PARIS, FRANCE - May16 Victor Wembanyama of Metropolitan92 in action during the LNB Pro A Betclic Elite basketball match between Boulogne-Levallois v Paris Basket at Palais des sports Marcel-Cerdan in Paris, France, on 16 May 2023. Six or seven months from now, Victor Wembanyama might receive a similar lesson about commitment from an older Spurs teammate. This time, though, that older Spurs teammate might be the same age Duncan or Rose were in 1997.
With Wembanyama, a team filled with the NBA’s new definition of “kids” will have to grow up together. This is a big part of the reason why as familiar as the anticipation of Wembanyama’s rookie season feels in San Antonio, the expectations shouldn’t be the same. Gregg Popovich undoubtedly realizes this, and another Rose anecdote from 1997 provides some context.
