Victor Winebanyama is getting ready to make his official NBA debut on Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks, and in preparation for his debut, Winebanyama shared a few photos from his memorable summer, one of which is with Drake.
The photo of Winebanyama and Drake together created a buzz among fans, with some worrying that the rapper’s curse may follow Winebanyama and the San Antonio Spurs. Others made fun of the height difference between the two and others made fun of Drake’s reputation for following the crowd.
Here are some of the reactions and stems after Win Banyama posed for a photo with Drake:
“Drake’s move to SA is confirmed.”
“Drake is the type of guy that’s like ‘Man, what’s the weather like today?’ Dude”
“Dude looks like a midget next to the king.”
Despite these jokes, Venbanyama had a great preseason, quickly establishing himself as a player to be reckoned with. He contributed 21.1 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 3.4 caps per game while shooting 54.3 percent from the field and 39.3 percent from three-point range.
While Wimbanyama may still need to improve his conditioning as the season progresses, he looks ready to live up to the hype and hit the ground running.
