Victor Wembanyama got his first taste of the NBA All-Star Weekend on Friday when he played at the 2024 Rising Stars for Team Pau Gasol. Wembanyama was the biggest name for his team against Team Detlef Schrempf, composed of the best young G League players.
However, things didn't go as planned for Wembanyama. He tried to pull off a crazy move on the G Leaguers but failed miserably. It failed so badly that it could be a candidate for an All-Star edition of the popular "Inside the NBA" segment Shaqtin' a Fool.
Wemby tried to nutmeg Oscar Tshiebwe of the Indiana Mad Ants but went poorly. He put the ball in between Tshiebwe's legs, but the 24-year-old forward stood pat and defended the San Antonio Spurs big man well.
The seven-foot-four big man tried to recover the ball with his insane length, but it was not enough. He stepped out of bounds, lost his balance and turned the ball over.
Here's the video:
To exacerbate matters, Victor Wembanyama's presence was not enough for Team Pau to get the win over Team Detlef. He finished with 11 points, seven rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks on 5-for-6 shooting. He also had five turnovers, a game-high.
Cason Wallace added eight points off the bench, but it was not enough to prevent a 41-36 loss. Reigning Slam Dunk champion Mac McClung had a big game for Team Detlef with 12 points, five rebounds and three assists, while Alondes Williams produced 11 points, two rebounds, two assists and two steals.

Fans react to Victor Wembanyama and Team Pau losing to G League team
A lot of NBA fans were hoping for a showdown between Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren at the 2024 Panini Rising Stars. Holmgren and Team Jalen did their part, but Team Detlef had other plans.
Led by Mac McClung, Team Detlef got the win over Wembanyama and Team Pau. Some fans began trolling Wemby and his teammates like Brandon Miller and Jaime Jaquez Jr. for losing to G League players.
One fan can't believe what happened:
"A team consisting of Wemby, Brandon Miller, Jaime Jaquez, Jabari Smith and Podziemski just lost to some G-Leaguers."
Of course, the memes came out to make fun of Wemby and Team Pau:
