NBA (DR) / TNT Sports (DR)

A new phenomenon on the NBA planet, Victor Wembanyama has already had the opportunity to play on the legendary floor of Madison Square Garden. He has also just reserved some great attention in the XXL value for the most famous Knicks fan, Spike Lee.

Highly anticipated for this full-fledged meeting in each player’s season, it did not give full satisfaction.

For his first appearance at Madison Square Garden, last November 8, Victor Wembanyama was only able to compile 14 points, 9 rebounds and 1 block, at 4/14 shooting and 0/4 at 3 points.

Suffice it to say that Knicks fans have no reason not to like him for the moment, especially one of them.

Spike Lee reveals his new collectible customized by Wemby

Given the prestige of the franchise, Knicks Nation contains many celebrities, including Spike Lee. He was also on the edge of the MSG floor for Wembanyama’s first visit there, and did the same during the match between Spurs and Hawks played at State Farm Arena a few weeks later. He seems to be a big fan of the Frenchman, he recently received a nice gift from him:

Proud to share these photos on his Instagram account, the famous American director accompanied them with the following caption:

Hello everyone. If I had a vote in the Rookie of the Year ballot, it would go for Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs.

My brother gave me this autographed match-worn jersey. You realize ❓And it’s a truth of 2m24 and 2m44 in wingspan.🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀

Beyond this flattering message for Wemby, Internet users particularly focused on the dedication that the latter placed on his jersey.

In addition to his signature, the young French international wrote the words “For Spike Lee (him)”… as well as a drawing supposed to represent the Hollywood star.

A little attention which de facto makes this object unique and which risks increasing its value tenfold over time:

yehh this is about to be worth 100k in 10 years

Yeah it will be worth $100,000 in 10 years

A full-fledged fan in the NBA sphere, Spike Lee was not only entitled to a signed jersey from Victor Wembanyama… but also to a drawing of him made by the Frenchman. The kind of piece that stands out in a collection.
