Victor Wembanyama has been a sensation so far in his rookie season, making the San Antonio Spurs relevant league-wide for the first time in years.
Unfortunately, TNT announcer Reggie Miller is still having a tough time pronouncing Wembanyama’s name, evidenced by Thursday night’s broadcast of the Spurs’ game against the visiting Milwaukee Bucks.
Miller mispronounced the rookie phenom’s name as Wembanyana—with an “NA” at the end instead of the proper “MA”—throughout the game. Making things worse was the fact that Thursday was Wembanyama’s 20th birthday.
