Victor Wembanyama is slowly getting ready to play in his first NBA-affiliated game soon, as the No. 1 overall pick is expected to play at the Las Vegas Summer League. The excitement around him touching the NBA floor is palpable, especially with the free-agent movement slowing down.
In his first ‘Fourth of July’ in the USA, Wembanyama tuned into Nathan’s Hot Dog eating competition, where he saw Joey Chestnut win his 16th title. This led Wembanyama to declare the competitive eater as the ‘most dominant athlete of all time.’

What Chestnut has achieved as a competitive eater is quite remarkable. It may not be the same sport as basketball, but it’s definitely an athletic competition in its own way. Wembanyama evidently enjoyed relaxing on July 4, but he’ll be back to work soon as he inches closer to his Summer League debut.

The Spurs will be in action at the California Classic Summer League tomorrow against the Lakers, but Wembanyama won’t be on the court. It’s been confirmed by Marc Stein that Wemby intends on debuting in the Las Vegas Summer League on Friday, as the Spurs take on the Charlotte Hornets.

Summer League is incredibly exciting for people that want to see the incoming draft class and young talent all around the NBA. While many young international prospects are busy preparing for the FIBA World Cup, most are competing at Summer League and giving us a taste of what to expect.
Wembanyama has already proven to the world that he’s going to be a must-watch player every time he steps onto the court. Establishing that legacy begins with how he plays in Summer League against the No. 2 pick Brandon Miller on Friday.
