风雨无阻，文班尽享乐趣。
虽然维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)有社交媒体账号，但他并非活跃用户，尤其是在NBA赛季期间，因为他有着极高的职业道德和自律性。然而，这一切在昨晚马刺战胜布鲁克林篮网后发生了改变。文班自奥运会以来首次在X（原Twitter）上发帖，询问纽约市下棋的最佳地点。
纽约市下棋的最佳地点是哪里？

他肯定收到了一些回复，因为今天早上，他发推文邀请粉丝们在曼哈顿华盛顿广场公园的西南角与他见面下棋，即便天气不佳，粉丝们也如约而至。
谁想来华盛顿广场公园西南角和我下棋？我在这里。

看起来大家都玩得很开心，文班后来感谢所有冒雨前来的人，并建议NBA举办一场仅限球员参加的国际象棋比赛，并将收益捐赠给慈善机构。（或许可以在全明星周末期间举办？）

尽管文班正在成为体坛最知名的面孔之一（如果他现在还不是的话），但他并不害怕走出去与球迷互动。他还不断地表明，尽管身为名人，他仍然和我们一样：风趣、书呆子气，而且脚踏实地。几十年来，马刺球迷已经习惯了这种讨人喜欢的运动员带领他们的球队，而文班似乎每天都在场外做一些让我们更加爱他的事情。

Victor Wembanyama plays chess with fans in New York park
Neither rain or shine will stop Wemby from having fun.
While Victor Wembanyama is on social media, he isn’t known for having a huge presence on it, especially during the NBA season because his work ethic and discipline is so high. That all changed late last night after the Spurs’ win over the Brooklyn Nets when Wemby posted on X for the first time since the Olypmics, asking where the best spots are to play chess in New York City are.
What are the best spots to play chess in NYC ??

He must have gotten some answers, because this morning, he tweeted to fans meet him in the southwest corner of Washington Square Park in Manhattan to play chess, and show up they did, even though the weather was not conducive.
Who wants to meet me at the SW corner of Washington Square park to play chess? Im there

It looks like everyone had a great time, and Wemby later thanked everyone for showing up, even in the rain, as well as suggested the NBA have a players-only chess tournament with the proceeds going to charity. (Perhaps an idea for All-Star weekend?)

We need an NBA players only Chess tournament, proceeds go to the charity of choice of the winner https://t.co/OyudB2t4io

Even though Wemby is well on his way to being one of the most recognizable faces in sports (if he isn’t already), he’s not afraid to get out and interact with fans. He also continues to show that despite being a celebrity, he’s still just like us: funny, nerdy, and down to earth. He’s exactly the type of endearing athlete that Spurs fans have been used to leading their club across the decades, and it seems like every day, he does something else off the court to make us love him even more.
Wemby made this young fan’s night with a jersey swap
