This Wednesday was held the presentation of the individual trophies of Betclic Elite. Victor Wembanyama was a big hit, winning the M titles.


Less than 24 hours after the announcement of his next team, the San Antonio Spurs, Victor Wembanyama, the new star of French basketball, has just been awarded all the individual trophies of the France championship by the National Basketball League (LNB). The player from Boulogne-Levallois was elected MVP (best player) of the regular season and retained his titles of best young player (which he had already obtained in 2021 and 2022) and best defender (like last season).

Wemby said the MVP award was "in his head" at the start of the season but that "no individual title matters if it doesn't follow a goal." "These trophies are sublimated only because we had this second place in the league. If we had been relegated or outside the play-offs, it would have meant nothing at all," he added.
