Victor Wembanyama’s 16-year-old brother, Oscar, looks poised for NBA future
NY Post
Buckle your seatbelts, there appears to be another Wembanyama on the way.
Oscar Wembanyama, the 16-year-old brother of star Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama, has recently gone viral due to his own prowess on the basketball court.
At 6-foot-8, Oscar is several inches shorter than Wembanyama was at that age, but if he grows to be anywhere near as tall as his 20-year-old brother —who stands at 7-foot-4 — he might be a force to be reckoned with.
Oscar’s basketball journey began just two years ago, as his previous sport of choice was handball.
“In my city, all my friends did it. That’s what made me appreciate the sport. I think I was considered a prospect, you could say,” Oscar told Euroleague last year. “I played very little basketball, just with my mother because she organized training courses for children. I got into it in a club last year. I had been considering doing it for a year.”
He shifted to basketball during the COVID-19 pandemic.
