他还谈到了他在中国的经历、沙奎尔·奥尼尔对他的比赛的批评、波波维奇的退役以及其他话题。
在中国的一座少林寺闭关10天后，维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 已返回美国，并自此开启了旋风式媒体巡演，刚刚过去的周末在纽约的Fanatics Fest活动上，他先后亮相了凯文·哈特 (Kevin Hart) 的《Cold as Balls》和《The Shop》节目。尽管自二月份被诊断出患有深静脉血栓后，他有过零星露面（例如在马刺队赛季收官战前的一次媒体亮相、参加斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 的年度最佳新秀 (ROTY) 颁奖典礼以及米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 的上任新闻发布会），但这无疑是近四个月来我们听到他消息最多的一次，所以让我们深入了解他的一些热门言论。
文班进入联盟以来已增重30磅
自文班进入联盟以来，他瘦弱的体格一直是一个持续的担忧，但正如扬尼斯·安特托昆博 (Giannis Antetokounmpo) 等球员所证明的，这并不意味着无法增加体重。当哈特问他现在的体重与刚进入联盟时相比如何时，文班表示他刚入联盟时体重约为215磅，现在体重达到245磅，也就是说他增重了约30磅。（当然，我们也要承认，他似乎又长高了一两英寸，尽管马刺队不愿承认这一点。）

他接着讨论了如何在不损失敏捷性和运动能力的前提下，在增加肌肉和体重之间找到精妙的平衡，为此有很多人在帮助他。他还透露，由于寺庙的素食（主要以米粉和西葫芦为主）对于他这种体型的职业运动员来说不够，他会偶尔溜出去吃点肉。
文班尊重奥尼尔作为球员，但不认同他作为记者
在另一个环节，哈特问文班如何看待沙奎尔·奥尼尔 (Shaquille O’Neal) 对现代NBA的反复批评，尤其是不停地指责当今内线球员“软弱”，以及他轻视文班亚马历史性的新秀赛季，因为文班“投了太多跳投”。文班回应得谨慎却又暗藏玄机，表示他尊重奥尼尔作为球员的身份，但不太认同他作为记者的角色。
奥尼尔一直是我最喜欢的球员之一。但他却是我最不喜欢的记者之一。
尽管如此，文班对球员奥尼尔言出必行，将他列入了自己心目中的历史最佳首发五人组，与斯蒂芬·库里 (Stephen Curry)、迈克尔·乔丹 (Michael Jordan)、勒布朗·詹姆斯 (LeBron James) 和蒂姆·邓肯 (Tim Duncan) 并肩。（哈特不喜欢科比·布莱恩特 (Kobe Bryant) 的缺席，但文班亚马解释说他需要一个额外的篮板手。）

SG: 迈克尔·乔丹
SF: 勒布朗·詹姆斯
PF: 蒂姆·邓肯

文班也许最终会迫使勒布朗退役
谈到勒布朗，他在《The Shop》节目中有一个有趣的时刻：当被问及自己还能打多久时，勒布朗没有给出答案，但他开玩笑说，如果文班继续将他的投篮扇到观众席上，他可能就会放弃并退役。所有人哄堂大笑，文班也打趣说，即使他退役了，勒布朗可能还在打。当被认真问到他认为勒布朗还会打多久时，文班预测是两个赛季，这将使勒布朗的总生涯达到传奇般的24个赛季。
文班谈波波维奇的退役
最后，在《The Shop》节目中，文班被问及格雷格·波波维奇 (Gregg Popovich) 在去年十一月突发中风后最近从教练岗位上退休的事情：
首先，从人品方面来说。我们所有人都和波波维奇教练非常亲近。我们队员之间以及我们和波波维奇教练之间都有着非常好的关系。当发生这样的事情时，总是令人感到悲伤和震惊。他令人难以置信的地方在于，他以他本来的样子，持续给予我们希望。他不断地激励着我们。因为他工作的方式，他比世界上大多数运动员都要努力。

《Cold as Balls》的完整一集尚未在YouTube上发布，但如果发布，它将在LOL Network的YouTube频道上。与此同时，这里还有一些有趣的片段，例如文班和哈特出场的那一刻，文班滑稽地高出那位5英尺2英寸高的喜剧演员一大截，以及他说联盟中没有他害怕对抗的球员。

He also discussed his time in China, Shaq’s criticisms of his game, Pop’s retirement, and more.
After spending 10 days in seclusion at a Shaolin temple in China, Victor Wembanyama has returned to American soil and has been doing a whirlwind media tour ever since, appearing on Kevin Hart’s Cold as Balls and The Shop at Fanatics Fest in New York over the weekend. Although he has made spot appearances since being diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis back in February (such as a media appearance ahead of the Spurs’ season finale, attending Stephon Castle’s ROTY ceremony and Mitch Johnson’s introductory press conference), this is by far the most we’ve heard from him in the last four months, so let’s dig into some of his more viral comments.
Wemby has gained 30 pounds since entering the league
A constant concern about Wemby since he entered the league was his slight frame, but as players like Giannis Antetokounmpo have proven, that doesn’t mean mass can’t be added. When asked by Hart what he weighs now vs. when he came into the league, he said he entered at about 215 ponds but now weighs in at 245 lbs, so he has gained about 30 lbs. (Of course, we should also acknowledge that he seems to have grown an inch or two, even if the Spurs don’t want to acknowledge it.)

He went on to discuss how there’s a delicate balance between adding muscle and weight without losing his agility and athleticism, so he was many people working with him. He also revealed that because the temple’s vegan diet of mainly rice noodles and zucchini wasn’t sufficient enough for a professional athlete of his size, he would sneak out on occasion to get some meat.
Wemby respects Shaq as player, but not a journalist
At another point, Hart asked Wemby what he thought of Shaquille O’Neal’s repeated criticisms of the modern-day NBA, especially constantly calling today’s big men as soft and dismissing Wemby’s historic rookie campaign because he “shot too many jumpers”. He replied with a measured but not-so-subtle jab, saying he respects Shaq as a player but not so much as a journalist.
Shaq has always been one of my favorite players. But one of the journalists I like the least.
Still, true to his word about Shaq the player, he included him in his all-time starting five alongside Steph Curry, Michael Jordan, LeBron James and Tim Duncan. (Hart didn’t like the exclusion of Kobe Bryant, but Wemby justified it with needing an extra rebounder.)

SF: LeBron James

C: Shaquille O’NealThoughts on his five?

Wemby may finally force LeBron into retirement
Speaking of LeBron, he had a funny moment on The Shop when he didn’t have an answer for how much longer he’ll play but joked that if Wemby keeps swatting his shots into the stands, he may give up and retire. Everyone laughed, with Wemby joking LeBron may still be playing even once he retires. When asked in all seriousness how much longer he thinks LeBron will keep playing, Wemby predicted two seasons, which would take LeBron to legendary 24 total seasons.
Wemby speaks about Pop’s retirement
Finally, during The Shop, Wemby was asked about Gregg Popovich’s recent retirement from coaching after he suffered a stroke back in November:
First of all, the person. We were all really close. We all have really good relationships between the teammates and him. It’s always sad and shocking when something like this happens. What’s incredible with him is that he keeps giving hope being the person that he is. He keeps inspiring us. Because the way he works, he works harder than most athletes in the world.
You can watch the entire episode of The Shop below.
The entire episode of Cold as Balls hasn’t been released on YouTube yet, but when/if it is, it will be on LOL Network’s YouTube channel. In the meantime, here are some more funny clips, such as the moment Wemby and Hart came out, with Wemby comically towering over the 5’2” comedian, as well as him saying there isn’t anyone in the league he fears going up against.
