NBA – The big debate surrounding Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren: “Wemby did not expect to go to this extent..

NBA (DR) / Oklahoma City Thunder (DR)

Among the big favorites for the Rookie of the Year title, Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren will meet for the first time in the NBA in a few days. And already, some big rumors are circulating about the two interior prodigies… If this is confirmed, the big league is holding its next big rivalry for good.

Tuesday November 14 is a date to remember for all fans of the beautiful orange. We will indeed witness a real battle of freaks since the Spurs will travel to Oklahoma City. In other words, it will also be the first NBA duel between Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren, the big stars of this year’s crop of rookies. Two interior designers as talented as they are ambitious and who know each other well.

Even before each arriving in the big league, the Frenchman and the American had already crossed swords on the FIBA scene with their respective national teams. Suffice to say that if the two players refute it for the moment, we can almost immediately speak of a rivalry between them. Especially since for some Texan fans, there is already animosity between the two snowshoe stars:

Already tensions between Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren?

The duel between Chet and Wemby next Tuesday will be the start of a great rivalry the likes of which the NBA has not seen in a long time. These two don’t like each other

We know that the NBA loves big rivalries. As Wemby and Holmgren embody the future of big men with their ball-in-hand and shooting skills, it would obviously be a superb showcase for the league that they do not like each other and are therefore struggling on the floors. Except that as quite a few Internet users have noted, nothing supports this theory, if only because of the behavior of the Habs:

I mean. I don’t know if Chet likes Wemby, but I know Wemby doesn’t dislike Chet

I don’t know if Chet likes Wemby, but I know Wemby has nothing against Chet

I think they hate media and fans constantly comparing them and pitting them against each other more than they actually hate each other.

I think they hate the media and fans who constantly compare and pit them against each other more than they actually hate each other.

Already tensions between Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren? There was certainly this viral sequence between them during the pre-season, but nothing else. It will take time before we can verify this theory… However, there is no doubt that all eyes will be on the match between San Antonio and OKC next Tuesday.
