WEMBY’S ROAD BACK: FROM SETBACK TO SELF-MASTERY Victor Wembanyama’s physical gifts are obvious. At 7-foot-4 with guard-like ability, the 21-year-old star is a basketball anomaly. But entering Year 3, it’s not just his size or skill that sets him apart – it’s his mindset. Last season’s abrupt end – a blood clot diagnosis that sidelined him just as his superstardom was crystallizing – forced a rare pause in his ascent. It also sparked a deeper pursuit of growth. “The traumatic experience is very much linked to all the stuff I’ve done in the summer,” said Wemby at Media Day. “Obviously, to come back, rehab and be better than before… “But there’s also a big feeling that life isn’t forever and there are some experiences we’re going to miss on. It’s inevitable. But I’m going to miss on the least that I can.” After overcoming a scare few athletes ever face, Wembanyama took an equally uncommon road to recovery – starting in China’s Shaolin Temple, where he practiced Chan meditation and Kung Fu with monks whose focus is as spiritual as it is physical. “It was very much out of my comfort zone,” said Wemby. “[That] was my intent from the start … movements that I or NBA players aren’t used to doing… “So it really paid off in terms of training and as a life experience … it makes you understand lessons that nothing else could have made me understand.” Wemby's curiosity for the unknown took him from temples back to Texas, where he visited NASA’s Johnson Space Center, connecting with others who push the limits of what’s possible. “Meeting astronauts that have been to space or are going to [space], that was one of my favorite aspects,” said Wembanyama on the visit. “It was incredible.” That same spirit of exploration led him to another rare breed: Kevin Garnett – a generational big in his own right and ultra competitor who once famously declared, ‘Anything is possible.’ “He’s got a very unique perspective,” said Wemby on KG. “He’s very smart emotionally. He’s got this energy but knows how to channel it and use it for the best.” Part of what led Garnett to the NBA mountaintop in 2008 was his willingness to sacrifice individual accolades for winning, embracing a defensive role while Paul Pierce and Ray Allen carried the scoring load for Boston. That same selflessness surfaced in Wemby’s preseason opener on Monday, when he tallied seven assists – including one sequence he summed up perfectly: “I turned down a shot I can make with my eyes closed,” he said. “But that was to get one of my teammates a shot he can make in his sleep.” Tonight (7:30 ET, NBA TV), the Spurs return to action against Bam Adebayo, Norman Powell and the Heat, exactly two weeks before San Antonio’s regular-season opener in Dallas. For Wemby – the game’s great unknown, still pushing what’s possible – it’s another opportunity to keep growing.

San Antonio Spurs have a new partnership with Shiner 'Shine, a full-bodied moonshine produced by Shiner Texas Spirits. The partnership will include a new branded bar in the Frost Club and specialty craft cocktails, among additional assets. #nba #porvida #sanantonio #gospursgo

Celtics fans bummed that BOS team let Luke Kornet go. Big part of BOS title run #nba #porvida #SanAntonio

Dylan Harper thought the most valuable Spurs player basketball card was Tim Duncan's, but it's actually his current teammate... #nba #porvida

Indeed. I'm surprised Victor Oladipo isn't in the NBA. #nba #porvida

Miami bound ✈️

Spoke with the CEO of the SA Stock Show & Rodeo, we talked Project Marvel and he tells me (jokingly of course)...... "I already told RC (Buford) I got the moving trucks idling for your move out" 🤣🤣 #nba #porvida #sanantonio

keep building 💪 @VCMtweets | #sponsored

LeBron's second decision event.... about Hennessy... 😐 #nba #porvida

I'm going to lose ... in my native language

Barnes started 82 games last season and performed well. I'd be surprised if they just randomly moved him to the bench to start this season. That's all I'm saying.

Victor Wembanyama’s 3rd year shaping up to be special and likely we'll be seeing more outstanding things from the SAS center. #nba #porvida #sanantonio
