Much of the discussion around this year’s NBA All-Star Game has been critical and focused on the lack of effort shown on the court by the stars selected to participate in the annual showcase. It’s been that way for a few years now. But Victor Wembanyama has made it very clear that he considers it a personal mission to inspire more effort from his teammates and competitors, a sentiment he reinforced on Saturday ahead of the ASG.
“Exclamation point plays, playing in a solid manner and sharing the ball with energy,” the Spurs superstar said when asked how he planned to inspire that competitiveness. “If you share that energy, people feel like they have a responsibility to share it back to you.”
