Victor Wembanyama

Victor Wembanyama is a highly touted basketball player from France. He was born on January 22, 2004, and is currently considered one of the top prospects in his class. Wembanyama stands at 7 feet 2 inches (2.18 meters) tall, making him one of the tallest players in basketball.

Wembanyama plays primarily as a center and is known for his versatility on both ends of the court. He possesses excellent shooting range and can stretch the floor with his three-point shooting. He is also an excellent shot blocker and rebounder, using his size and length to disrupt opposing offenses.

He currently plays for the Metropolitans 92, a professional basketball team in France. He is considered to be the potential number-one overall pick in the NBA draft, and several major college programs were reportedly interested in recruiting him to play at the collegiate level in the United States.

Victor Wembanyama’s NIL Deal

Victor currently has basketball as his primary focus. He has reportedly rejected numerous endorsement deals and is yet to sign any major deal. However, before taking the court in an NBA game, Victor’s agents believe he will sign a shoe contract worth more than $100 million. After graduating from high school in 2003, Lebron James received a seven-year, $90 million contract with Nike, which is still the biggest rookie shoe deal in history. Since then, Zion Williamson's 2019 signing of a $75 million contract represents the highest contract.

Wembanyama's ability to surpass LeBron's record in terms of actual cash adds to the generational hype, and this might as well happen once Wembanyama gets drafted.

Victor Wembanyama’s Brand Endorsement Deals

There is not much information about Victor’s endorsement deals as Wembanyama and his team have said the primary focus is basketball.

His agent said “What we’re trying to do, first of all, is make Victor rare,” “We don’t want him all over the place. We don’t want to have 20 partners. That doesn’t make him a known basketball player. Victor says, ‘You want to be the best.’ When you want to be the best, you have to focus on basketball. And Victor is rejecting some rich, million-dollar deals right now because he wants to focus on basketball.” via Brian Windhost and Jonathan Givony, ESPN.

There have been various companies trying to get Victor’s attention and make him sign a deal but Victor Wembanyama has turned down every single one of them.

Victor Wembanyama’s Net Worth

Victor Wembanyama is one of the future NBA stars in the league. After traveling to America with his team, the Metropolitans, he attracted people's attention but even then, Victor was already known to be a generational talent.
