Victor Wembanyama has had quite the summer. From getting healthy after having his season cut short following a shocking deep vein thrombosis diagnosis, to spending time with Chinese monks and Daniel Radcliff (a.k.a. Harry Potter), Wemby has seemingly done it all. He’s also been seen working out with several NBA greats, including Jamal Crawford and Kevin Garnett, but his latest workout buddy might be the best of all (at least among non-Spurs).
In a recent Instagram post, Wemby showed himself working out with none other than Hakeem “The Dream” Olajuwon. It was so good I had to send it to my Rockets fan coworkers, who in turn were (jokingly) calling him a traitor.
Just image Wemby adding the Dream Shake to his arsenal. This has also triggered many “the league is cooked” jokes, and not just from Spurs fans.
Obviously the Spurs as a whole have plenty of work to do and improvements to make before Wemby can actually “cook the league”, and it might be too ambitious to expect it to happen this season. However, the Spurs should still be much improved if they can stay healthy, and a big step in the right direction would be making the playoffs in the loaded West. Once they do that, the cooking can begin.
