Victor Wembanyama signs with Louis Vuitton as brand ambassador

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama has signed with Louis Vuitton to become a brand ambassador.

The 20-year-old is often regarded as one of the most highly-rated players currently playing in the division. As per the latest report, Wembanyama has now signed up to become the brand ambassador for the French luxury brand.

"Striving for excellence and with a perpetual honing of craft, Victor joins Louis Vuitton on a journey of shared values and aligned ambitions. Like Louis Vuitton himself, the young athlete has blazed a trail, excelling in a career that is only just beginning," the brand said in a statement.

Wembanyama also released a statement where he stated that he is proud to become partner of Louis Vuitton.

"Over the years there's been plenty of different styles and some that are really, really outdated now in the league," he said. "To me, it's the best. ... It's the best partner I can think of."

Wembanyama is having a fabulous season for the Spurs where he is averaging 20.5 points, 10 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game. Those numbers become even more impressive considering how Spurs are struggling this season where they are placed in the fifth position in the Southwest Division after just 11 wins and 44 defeats.
