A lot of expectations were set on the No. 1 pick selection of the 2023 NBA Draft, Victor Wembanyama, after his disappointing debut, a former Lakers gives him advice

This Friday night, he disappointed the NBA fans, as high expectations were set on the new San Antonio Spurs start-to-be Victor Wembanyama, who has been the most hyped prospect since LeBron James.

Wembanyama didn't shined as expected on his debut and even said in the post-game presser that he didn't know what he was doing, but he will learn and improve.

After that performance in Las Vegas, backstage, the former Lakers player Carmelo Anthony, who recently retired after not finding a new NBA team to continue his basketball career and refusing to follow Howard's steps of playing in a foreign league, has given some advice to Wemby.

"Just hoop and enjoy Vegas." Said Anthony to Wembanyama, in a clear message for the French rookie not to hear any comments outside his team.

The Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar also met with Victor Wembanyama

The expectation was so high with Wembanyama that even Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was present for his debut. The two met backstage at the NBA Con. There's no doubt that despite his sour debut, Victor is already making a splash in the league.
