Since being drafted, Wembanyama has brought out the biggest and loudest of fans at every arena he visits, and his latest visit to Toronto , Canada was no different.
A fan dressed as an actual green alien wearing Victor Wembanyama 's jersey and shorts was seen watching his favorite player's warm-ups from the stands.
After the game, Wembanyama was asked about the fan and the outpouring of support he's received on the road this season.
"Do I get used to it?" Wembanyama reiterated before thinking about his answer. "I don't know if I will, but I'm not used to it yet. I'm saying that because it's always a pleasure. I think obviously the support at home is unconditional, but on the road some arenas like this, I hear a lot of French people and even just Canadian people who speak French who support. I'm saying I'm not used to it because it's always feel the love, always a great pressure. I'm trying to grow that even more, I'm not going to lie, because it helps me, makes me feel a little bit at home everywhere, so I'm trying to grow that and give some of that love."
