The young basketball star opened up about how a health scare in 2025 affected him, leading to a more open and emotional approach to the game.

I'm shocked by Victor Wembanyama's openness about his health scare. As I've been following his career, it's clear that this experience had a profound impact on him.

Victor Wembanyama credits Gregg Popovich for teaching him humility

Victor Wembanyama's health scare with thrombosis in early 2025 was a game-changer for him, and it's clear that he's still processing the experience. He's been open about how it affected his outlook on life, making him less guarded and more comfortable showing his emotions.

Wembanyama's reflections on his health scare have also highlighted the influence of San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich on his understanding of the team and its culture. He credits Popovich with teaching him the importance of humility, saying that after a win, you're rarely as good as you thought you were, and after a loss, you're rarely as bad as you thought you were.

Wembanyama's performance on the court has been impressive, with a season-high 43 points in San Antonio's recent victory over Minnesota. His focus on improving extends beyond scoring and defense, with a emphasis on being authentic, learning from others, and making the most of his time.

Dastan changed his approach to PARIVISION after talks in Belgrade (only per assign:"Changed His"). It will be interesting to see how this new approach affects Victor Wembanyama's career moving forward.
