Victor Wembanyama has not gotten off to a great start in the NBA. Shortly after being drafted by the San Antonio Spurs, the Frenchman was caught on camera missing jumpers, prompting fans to label him a bust.
He’s since found himself in some controversy, with a member of his security team slapping Britney Spears in Las Vegas this week.
While Wemby had nothing to do with the incident and the slap appeared to be inadvertent, he’s drawn the ire of fans for lying about what happened while the singer has also expressed her displeasure at the fact that he referred to her as “that person” and laughed about the whole thing while speaking to a reporter about it.
It appears Spears fans tuned in to the player’s Summer League debut against the Charlotte Hornets on Friday night just to find a reason to troll him. And he gave them plenty, including a moment during which he was dunked on by Kai Jones off an alley-oop in the third quarter.
This was always going to go viral, whether or not that Britney incident was a thing. But the fact that it happened made things even worse for the Frenchman. You could check out some of the reactions right below:
