Victor Wembanyama Has “Learned To Let His Real Personality Speak,” Discusses Rudy Gobert Comment

As he gears up for his second season in the NBA, Victor Wembanyama is getting more comfortable off the court.

In his latest interview with Ashley Nicole Moss on CBS Sports, Ashley asked him about his perception as a humble player.

She questioned the Frenchman on how he balances his killer mentality with his grounded demeanor.

She also brought up the 20-year-olds comments on his Olympic teammate, Rudy Gobert, as an example of Wembanyamas competitive spirit.

In March of this year, before the Defensive Player of the Year was crowned, Wemby was pitted against fellow 7-foot Frenchman Gobert as the top contender for the award.

When asked about Goberts chances of winning the DPOY, Victor stated, Wemby had remained largely soft-spoken during his rookie campaign and this was one of the first tastes we got of the Aliens tenacity.

During their recent interview, Ashley asked the DPOY runner-up about those two sides of his personality.

This real personality also peeked through after Team France fell to Team USA in the 2024 Olympics gold medal game.

Despite tallying a game-high 26 points, Wemby had to taste defeat on the biggest stage.

And like the greats often do, he seems to have taken it as added motivation.

Im learning, and Im worried for the opponents in a couple of years everywhere , the Frenchman commented after the Olympic loss.

Its incredible that Wemby is not only competing for major accolades as a rookie, but he is also putting the league on notice that he intends to win.

Earlier this week, Victor was equally brash when speaking about the upcoming season.

Wembanyama knows where his responsibilities are For a Frenchman in Texas, Wembanyama has quickly acclimatized to his stardom in the league.

The humble, young center we saw last season might have been a result of his transition to the NBA and America.

But now, with growing confidence, the Alien is no longer holding back.

Wemby was at the Spurs media day when he was asked about his expectations for the upcoming NBA season.

With the addition of Point God Chris Paul, many expect Wembys second season to take a massive leap.

Well find out soon enough with the Spurs pre-season beginning next week against the Oklahoma City Thunder..
