After just four games, Victor Wembanyama has already taken over NBA media.
He has become a major talking point for nearly every analyst given his instant impact on the San Antonio Spurs.
Wembanyama sat down with the crew on “Inside the NBA” after the Spurs’ recent win over the Phoenix Suns.
In this interview, Wembamyama was asked by Charles Barkley about Churros, something that instantly confused him.
Charles Barkley: “Victor, I got one final question for you. How do you say ‘Churro’ in French?”
Victor Wembanyama: “Churro? What is that?”
Charles: “You’ve been in San Antonio long enough. It’s a dessert.”
Wemby: “What?”

Wembanyama was trying to figure out what “Churro” was in French, but Wembanyama still had no idea what he was talking about.
This provided an instant classic, a moment that has since gone viral.
Wembanyama’s on-court play is typically highlighted, but he appears to be a fan favorite for his interviews as well.
The Spurs fanbase has instantly gravitated to Wembanyama due to his demeanor on and off the court.
With this in mind, they are excited to see what he can do throughout his first season.
He helped them beat the Suns on Halloween, a tall task for any team given the Suns’ success over the past several years.
Wembanyama was instrumental, especially with the four blocked shots that he contributed to this win.
His teammates have also started to rally around him, and it seems that he makes the people around him better.
Devin Vassell is becoming a breakout star alongside Wembanyama, and Jeremy Sochan and Keldon Johnson are also performing well.
The Spurs are a young team with many up-and-coming players.
Can they turn this into meaningful playoff success moving forward?
