Ex- Prime Minister Lionel Jospin Stans Wembanyama

French Former Prime Minister Among Public Figures Amazed By Victor Wembanyama

Selling like hotcakes is what the Metropolitans 92 game tickets are all about. For all the good reasons, the LNB Pro A team has gotten so much public acclaim that people flock to watch them play.

The Metropolitans game is really good in general as they comfortably sit second in the league but the main reason people turn out in large numbers is to see Victor Wembanyama play.

There has been a rapid surge in numbers of fans during Metropolitans 92 games especially when Victor Wembanyama is playing.

Fans across the globe want to catch a glimpse of the gigantic player, especially at a time when the buzz surrounding him keeps getting intense.

Victor is gifted in so many different ways and fans fly for long hours just to watch him play. Nobody can hide their amusement as they marvel at how fluid the young athlete is.

His quick first step and strong ball-handling skills allow him to outrun the defence and make his shot despite his height. Effortlessly and fluidly, he is capable of making shots from beyond the arc.

In addition to being a great rim protector and a force to be reckoned with in passing lanes when playing defence, he is also quick and tall, which helps a lot.

It is no surprise to see so many crowds drawn to him, this coming amidst all the compliments he has been getting from legendary basketball players.

Still playing in France, Wembanyama is projected to go first overall in the 2023 NBA draft on June 22, 2023, and the world can’t wait anymore.

Getting shoutouts from LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Gianni Antetokounmpo and Magic Johson who called him ‘the best player,’ Wembanyama’s glory days are just getting started.

Despite attracting large basketball fans from different walks of life, Wembanyama attracting Lionel Jospin to see him play just shows the magnitude of the name Wembanyama carries.

Lionel Jospin is a French politician who served as Prime Minister of France from 1997 to 2002. For a person of Jospin’s stature to want to see you play for sure you have to be very impressive.

After the Metropolitans 92 had an exhibition game in the USA in October 2022 with NBA G League’s Ignite, Wembanyama’s star shone even brighter.

Returning to France after the spectacular showdown, Wembanyama was more of a superhero than a human being. The ticket demands skyrocketed and those who ordered late were left regretting missing out.

Speaking to France Info Radio, Metropolitans president Alain Weisz said,’’ What the lad’s doing is unheard of.

It’s not just young people here or rappers who identify with Victor. Even Lionel Jospin called me for a ticket. What happened in the United States created an interest level what was unimaginable.”

Victor’s talent resonates with a lot of people and the ex-prime minister was one of the many who like how Wemby plays.

Jospin was further impressed during the game when Boulogne Levallois rammed through Blois with Victor showing a dominant display. Wembanyama finished the game with 17 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists leading Boulogne to a 113-88 victory at the expense of Blois.

From arenas to gyms, Wembanyama is filling up everywhere he goes and it is just the beginning. I bet Jospin won’t be the last high-profile individual to attend Wemby’s game, especially now that Victor will be joining the NBA soon.

It is just a matter of time before we find out if Wembanyama will still have his charisma in the NBA or if it will fade. But for now, let us enjoy him.
