Number one attraction in the French championship this season, Victor Wembanyama will, unsurprisingly, be at the Accor Arena in Paris at the end of December to participate in the LNB All-Star Game. And the star who will shine the most in the eyes of the public is him and no one else.
Because yes, it will be Wemby who will be the most anticipated. The French phenomenon considered the greatest prospect in history by some Hexperts has indeed been chosen by the public to represent the French selection at the All-Star Game LNB (next December 29), a bit like in the NBA where the two players with the most votes are chosen to be captain of their respective team. FYI, former Nets player Mike James will represent the World selection.

But Victor will not only be on the court for the BetClic ELITE star game. According to the Twitter account of the National Basketball League, Wembanyama will also participate in the 3-point contest the same evening, the opportunity for him to release one-legged 3 as he was able to do once morest Limoges. We’re obviously kidding but it will be a great challenge for Wemby, who is only shooting 31% behind the arc this season and who will be up once morest specialists in the discipline like Nicolas Lang, Keith Hornsby and Nando De Colo.

Wemby at the top of the votes, Wemby in the 3-point contest, would miss more than Wemby in the dunk contest (participants not announced at this time) and it would be the total. No doubt, next December 29, all eyes will be on him and it will be an opportunity for the phenomenon to show once once more that he is the star of the stars in this French championship.
