Victor Wembanyama had great quote about Tim Duncan after Game 1

After the game, Wembanyama was asked if he “feels the weight” from Spurs legends like Duncan and Robinson showing up to watch him lead the Spurs on the playoff stage.

“I wouldn’t say weight,” Wembanyama corrected the reporter.

“I would say it feels safe. It feels like if you trip, there’s a lot of hands that’s ready to catch you. From Day 1, it’s felt that way.”

Wembanyama landed in arguably the best situation possible with the Spurs — a team that already has the blueprint for building around a franchise-altering center. Duncan and Robinson both won multiple championships in San Antonio and have a wealth of wisdom to offer Wemby in his pursuit to do the same.

From the moment Wembanyama officially became a Spur in 2023, Duncan has committed to being a mentor to the 7’5″ Frenchman. The rest of the franchise’s icons have followed suit, showing love to Wemby whenever possible.

Like a child with loving and supportive parents, Wembanyama had nothing but love for his mentors after winning his first of many playoff games in a Spurs uniform.
