Victor Wembanyama’s bold personality shone through in the San Antonio Spurs’ 109-106 win over the Houston Rockets, as leaked audio captured him mocking Rockets center Alperen Sengun after draining a three-pointer in the first quarter. The audio revealed Victor Wembanyama in a direct message to Sengun. The comment highlighted the confidence that the 7-foot-4 star brought into his first home opener, where he went on to score 29 points alongside seven rebounds and three blocks.

“He can’t f**k with me.”

Wembanyama’s exchange with Sengun brought extra tension to an already competitive game, as both teams battled back and forth with high energy and determination. The Spurs initially established a dominant presence, going up by as much as 22 points in the first half, driven by Wembanyama’s assertive scoring and teamwork with veteran point guard Chris Paul. 

Paul’s lobs to Wembanyama resulted in electrifying alley-oop dunks, fueling the Spurs’ early advantage and energizing the home crowd.

Despite this strong start, the Rockets made a significant push in the final quarter, closing what seemed like an insurmountable gap. The Rockets launched a 21-8 run, led by Jalen Green, who dropped 27 points in a fierce offensive performance. 

However, the Spurs maintained their edge, partially due to Wembanyama’s relentless play on both ends. His taunt toward Sengun underscored his willingness to engage in mental games, adding a competitive layer that could become a defining aspect of his presence in the league.

Sengun, who recorded a respectable 12 points and 12 rebounds in the Rockets’ subsequent win over the Spurs, is known for his versatility and skill as a young big man. Yet, Wembanyama’s comment highlighted the confidence disparity, with the sophomore using his own performance as a platform to take a jab at Sengun. 

Such rivalries, even at the onset of the season, set the stage for exciting matchups in the future as Wembanyama establishes himself as a force and engages directly with his competition.

After the game, Wembanyama addressed his performance and downplayed his interactions, choosing instead to focus on the team’s resilience. The Spurs have embraced Wembanyama’s style, allowing him room to grow while also supporting his defensive tenacity.

The Rockets bounced back in the next game of the two-match series, with Jalen Green scoring 34 points to secure a 106-101 win. Sengun had a much stronger game, contributing a double-double and showing his skillset against Wembanyama. Despite his quieter offensive performance with 12 points, Wembanyama led the Spurs on the boards, pulling down 18 rebounds, showcasing his ability to impact the game even when his scoring is limited.

Wembanyama’s personality and confidence could prove advantageous as he continues to develop. His willingness to engage in on-court rivalries may be indicative of the competitor he aims to become, potentially making him a player who not only excels in his game but also embraces the mental battle that comes with facing elite players. 

His early interactions with players like Sengun set the stage for a fascinating dynamic as the season progresses and players learn to match his physical and psychological approach to the game.

As the season unfolds, Wembanyama’s approach will undoubtedly be watched closely by fans and analysts alike. If his comments and style of play are any indication, he could become a player known for backing up his words with impactful performances, much like the league’s most iconic stars. And while the rivalry with Sengun is still in its early stages, it’s evident that Wembanyama intends to make his mark, both on the scoreboard and in the minds of his opponents.
