这位浪子回家之旅的盛况超乎所有人的想象。
圣安东尼奥马刺队在巴黎参加2025年NBA巴黎赛的一周可谓精彩绝伦。从他们抵达的那一刻起,一切就已明朗——这不仅仅是一场篮球赛事;这是文班的比赛。整整一周,整个篮球世界都围绕着一位高大的身影旋转:维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)。这位21岁的现象级球员回到家乡,不仅是一位NBA球星,更是一位文化偶像,他点燃了球迷的热情,并在法国篮球史上留下了不可磨灭的印记。
全球巨星,本土英雄
现场的兴奋之情简直爆棚。NBA在不到24小时内两次售罄了可容纳15,935人的雅高体育馆的门票,来自53个不同国家的球迷蜂拥而至,只为见证这一盛况。这股能量蔓延到球场之外——路易威登时装秀、埃菲尔铁塔的VIP活动、与队友的米其林星级晚宴,甚至一场座无虚席的网红比赛都吸引了超过10,000名观众。整个城市都沉浸在文班热中,证明了他的影响力远远超出了篮球领域。
来自24个不同国家的624名记者获得了报道此次赛事的资格。
拥抱此刻
文班沉浸其中。当被问及在巴黎是否开心时,他的回答发自肺腑:
“非常开心。这是无价的。在赛季中期能有这样的经历,能为我接下来的比赛提供动力。能见到几个月都见不到的人——意义非凡。即使作为一个团队,我认为我们也在这次旅行中得到了成长。”

他不只是回家了;他在这里蓬勃发展。文班亚马用流利的法语侃侃而谈,罕见地展现了他的心路历程。
关于目前为止的赛季?
“这当然是一个有趣的赛季。我们需要至少46场胜利才能进入附加赛。这将会很艰难,但动力不是问题——尤其当你拥有远大梦想的时候。”
关于格雷格·波波维奇?
“波波是一位传奇人物。他缔造了马刺王朝,并且对他的球员了如指掌。他很坦诚,从不拐弯抹角。但最重要的是,他帮助我 navigating 了我的早期职业生涯,避免了可能让我放慢脚步的错误。”
关于他的未来?
“除了篮球,我还有其他的梦想,但现在,它们仍然保密。”
“我一直知道我需要,不,我必须去实现我的潜力。我拥有独特的能力。在我内心深处,我坚信我可以,而且将会以我自己的方式,很可能与其他人不同的方式,去做一些事情。我想要成功,想要独一无二。
有一件事我想与众不同,尤其是与我这一代的年轻人相比,我不想浪费我的时间。我想用我所拥有的东西,我所掌握的能力,去做一些事情,并且存在。我想要知道我的存在。但不是在一个模子里。我自己的独特存在。很久以来,我知道我因为身高而与众不同。因此而被限制,停留在通常的模式中,将意味着我利用我的身高作为我的不同之处。我的身高只是一个组成部分。我想因为其他原因而与众不同。”
欧洲优势
文班亚马还分享了他对欧洲篮球在塑造未来NBA球星方面所起作用的看法:
“年轻的欧洲球员在很小的时候就面临着精英级别的竞争。看看卢卡(Luka Dončić),16岁就为皇家马德里队征战顶级职业联赛。这种经历加速了他们的成长。在美国,年轻球员大多在青年联赛中竞争,直到他们进入NBA或发展联盟。这是一个巨大的区别。”
传奇人物的评价
传奇马刺后卫、法国篮球偶像托尼·帕克(Tony Parker)在RMC体育上高度评价了文班:
托尼·帕克分享说,在前往巴黎之前,他在圣安东尼奥与文班共进晚餐,文班告诉他,他有多么兴奋能够回到法国。
“文班是如此独特,以至于找到合适的球员来辅佐他可能需要时间。但几年后呢?我们可能会谈论‘文班时代’,就像湖人队的魔术师(Magic Johnson)或凯尔特人队的伯德(Larry Bird)一样。他就那么特别。”
关于文班亚马对法国国家队的承诺:
“这是他的首要任务。也许我自己对蓝衣军团的爱影响了他,但很明显——文班有他自己代表法国的动力。”
还有这一点:“作为控球后卫,我非常乐意,绝对乐意与文班一起打球。”
ESPN的布莱恩·温德霍斯特(Brian Windhorst)分享了文班童年时期的一个趣闻:
“当文班在13岁时经历了一次猛烈的生长突增后,他的行动变得笨拙。他的父亲,一位前田径运动员,教会了他一个重要的道理:‘你不能只是走上楼梯——你得运用你的核心力量,一步一步地走。’这就是他如今力量的基础。”
篮球历史性的一周
从座无虚席的场馆到幕后的点点滴滴,巴黎赛证明了维克托·文班亚马不仅仅是一位冉冉升起的NBA球星——他还是这项运动的全球大使。虽然他的旅程才刚刚开始,但有一件事是肯定的:整个篮球世界都在注视着他,而法国也为他感到无比自豪。
见证文班跻身法国体育名人堂真是令人难以置信。基利安·姆巴佩(Kylian Mbappé)(足球)、泰迪·里内(Teddy Riner)(柔道)、莱昂·马尔尚(Léon Marchand)(游泳)、安托万·迪蓬(Antoine Dupont)(橄榄球),现在还有维克托·文班亚马。
哦,还有一件事——需要有人教法国24电视台如何正确地念文班亚马的名字!
法国24电视台是一个英语的法国媒体频道:
文班万岁!

A French perspective of Victor Wembanyama’s return to Paris
The prodigal son’s return home was greater than anyone imagined.
The San Antonio Spurs’ week in Paris for the 2025 NBA Paris Games was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment they touched down, it was clear—this wasn’t just any basketball event; it was The Wemby Games. For a full week, the basketball world revolved around one towering figure: Victor Wembanyama. The 21-year-old phenom returned home not just as an NBA star but as a cultural icon, electrifying fans and leaving an indelible mark on French basketball.
A Global Sensation, A Local Hero
The excitement was off the charts. The NBA sold out the 15,935-seat Accor Arena twice in less than 24 hours, with fans from 53 different countries flocking to witness the spectacle. The energy spilled beyond the court—Louis Vuitton fashion show, VIP events at the Eiffel Tower, a Michelin-starred dinner with teammates, and even a packed influencer game drew over 10,000 spectators. The entire city buzzed with Wembymania, proving his influence extended far beyond basketball.
624 journalists from 24 different countries were accredited to cover the event.
Embracing the Moment
Victor soaked it all in. When asked if he was happy in Paris, his response was heartfelt:
“Very happy. It’s priceless. In the middle of the season like this, it gives me fuel for the rest of the year. Seeing people I won’t see for months—it means the world. Even as a team, I think we grew during this trip.”
Victor Wembanyama got emotional while talking about his time in Paris this week

He wasn’t just home; he was thriving. Wembanyama spoke candidly in his native French, revealing a rare glimpse into his mindset.
On the season so far?
“It’s an interesting one, for sure. We need at least 46 wins to make the play-in. It’s going to be tough, but motivation isn’t an issue—especially when you have big dreams.”
On Gregg Popovich?
“Pop is an icon. He built the Spurs’ dynasty and knows his players inside out. He’s honest, no filters. But most importantly, he’s helped me navigate my early career, avoiding mistakes that could slow me down.”
On his future?
“I have dreams beyond basketball, but for now, they stay private.”
“I have always known that I needed, not need I must actually, realize my potential. I have unique abilities. Deep inside me I have the conviction I can and will do things, my own way, most likely differently from others. I want to succeed and be unique.
One thing where I want to be different, especially if compared to young people from my generation, I don’t want to waste my time. I want to do something with what I have, the abilities at my disposal, and exist. I want to know that I exist. But not in a mold. My own unique existence. I have known for a long time that I am different because of my height. Being boxed in for it, staying in the usual mold would mean I utilize my height as my difference. My height is just one component. I want to be different for other reasons.
The European Advantage
Wembanyama also shared his perspective on European basketball’s role in shaping future NBA stars:
“Young European players face elite competition at an early age. Look at Luka, playing against top professionals for Real Madrid at 16. That experience accelerates growth. In the U.S., young players mostly compete in youth leagues until they reach the NBA or G-League. That’s a huge difference.”

Legends Weigh In
Tony Parker, the legendary Spurs guard and French basketball icon, spoke highly of Wemby on RMC Sports:
TP shared he had dinner with Victor in San Antonio ahead of the trip to Paris and Wemby told him how exceited he was to visit France.
\
“Wemby is so unique that finding the right pieces around him might take time. But in a few years? We might talk about the ‘Wemby Era’ just like Magic with the Lakers or Bird with the Celtics. He’s that special.”
On Wembanyama’s commitment to the French National Team:
“It’s a priority for him. Maybe my own love for Les Bleus influenced him, but it’s clear—Victor has his own drive to represent France.”
And this: “As PG I would have loved, absolutely loved, to play with Wemby.”
ESPN’s Brian Windhorst shared a fascinating insight from Wemby’s childhood:
“When Vic hit a major growth spurt at 13, he struggled with movement. His dad, a former track and field athlete, taught him a key lesson: ‘You don’t just walk up stairs—you engage your core, step by step.’ That’s how he built the foundation for his strength today.”
A Historic Week for Basketball
From the packed arenas to the behind-the-scenes moments, the Paris Games proved that Victor Wembanyama is more than a rising NBA star—he’s a global ambassador for the game. And while his journey is just beginning, one thing is certain: the basketball world is watching, and France couldn’t be prouder.
It is incredible to witness Victor’s ascension in the French sport Hall of Fame. Killian Mbappé (soccer), Teddy Riner (judo), Léon Marchand (swimming), Antoine Dupont (rugby) and now Victor Wembanyama.
Oh, and one more thing—someone needs to teach France24 how to pronounce Wembanyama’s name correctly!
France24 is an English-speaking French media channel:
Vive Wemby!
