Fans Stunned To See Victor Wembanyama Perfectly Pull Off 'Slenderman' Outfit
Victor Wembanyama doesn't aim to be an anonymous rookie, already making his bold style of play and fashion sense known to the league. He took another big step in making himself a media figure by pulling up to the Spurs vs. Suns game with an authentic 'Slenderman' outfit, something that fans are either in love with or terrified of.
Fans loved the fit.
More fans chimed in with how perfectly this costume suited Wembanyama.
Fans joked about Wembanyama dressing up as himself given how similar his body looks to Slenderman.
Fans declared Wembanyama's costume as the best of NBA Halloween by far.
Some people even said this may be the best use of a Slenderman Halloween outfit ever.
Many fans think Wembanyama's NBA nickname should also be 'Slenderman' given his body and the fact that NBA players also fear him and his size.
There's something about this costume that is so incredibly accurate that there is no way to hate it. Some may get lost in the conversation of rookies focusing more on media instead of the game, but they're also the voices that can be ignored. Dressing up on Halloween is something NBA players have done for years, but we don't know how many have done it better than what Wembanyama just did.
If he has a career performance against the Suns, it'll further prove why he needs to be feared in the league, just like Slenderman was striking fear into the hearts of anyone who ever interacted with the character.
Victor Wembanyama Excited To Face The Phoenix Suns
Wembanyama will face off against Kevin Durant for the first time in his career as the San Antonio Spurs and Phoenix Suns. Before the game, Wembanyama referred to Durant as his favorite player. Durant was even asked about what Wemby had to say, but he addressed it with a joke in response.
"I mean, I'm old."
Durant is in his 17th NBA season and could likely keep playing way beyond his 20th season in the NBA. He has previously expressed that he wants to keep playing basketball until he physically cannot, so Durant still has a lot of things he can achieve in the NBA. That doesn't change the fact that Durant is in the final years of his career and will soon retire, but with the hope he can win a title with the Suns and shed years of negative reputation that has followed him around.
Wembanyama, on the other hand, is starting his career as a blank slate. He hasn't been generational through the first three games of his NBA career, notably getting outplayed by another rookie in his debut. But the flashes that we have seen are so encouraging that it's almost impossible to say Wembanyama may end up being a bust.
All the skills that looked too good to be true on camera turned out to be very real strengths in his game. He'll hope to get a little heavier so he can compete with elite centers in the NBA, but he has a strong dribble package at 7'4" while also genuine three-level shot-making ability. It makes sense why he looms up to Durant, as KD is the only player who's come close to being as versatile a player at that size.
Wembanyama has averaged 15.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.0 steals, and 1.7 blocks so far in his NBA career.
