San Antonio Spurs young centre Victor Wembanyama has revealed that participating in three-point and dunk All-Star contests is on his ‘bucket list’.
The 20-year-old was asked about this after the Spurs' recent match against the Dallas Mavericks to which he responded by saying: “Yes. That’s on my bucket list.”
Further on, Wembanyama, talking about his own performance on a rather disappointing night, stated that such games do not ‘ruin his weekend experience’.
“This match doesn’t ruin my weekend experience,” he said. “I try to stay professional until the end and do my job, but the truth is, I’m eager for all of this to be over.”
Spurs suffered a thumping defeat against the Mavericks with a score of 116-93 at the American Airlines Center on Thursday. The defeat left Spurs in the fifth position in the Southwest Division with just 11 wins and 44 defeats.
Despite the result, Wembanyama was the star performer for the losing team as he ended up registering 26 points to go with nine rebounds and five assists.
The Le Chesnay-born is having a more than decent season for the Spurs where he is averaging 20.5 points, 10 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game. His best outing this season came in the match against the Phoenix Suns where he registered 38 points to go with 10 rebounds and two assists.
