Victor Wembanyama
Victor Wembanyama’s jersey, San Antonio Spurs teammate Jeremy Sochan’s, from his NBA debut game was sold by the Sotheby’s auction house for… $762,000.
This is the highest amount in history for a first-year player’s match jersey purchased immediately after his debut.
The estimate for the T-shirt was between PLN 80,000 and PLN 120,000. Meanwhile, the final price exceeded the organizers’ wildest expectations.
This was determined by the Frenchman’s great performances in the first month of the competition and the huge impact he had on the interest of media and fans around the world, which caused the amount to skyrocket.
The media hype surrounding him is compared to the appearance of LeBron James, who then joined the Cleveland Cavaliers 20 years ago.
The 19-year-old Frenchman, 224 centimeters tall, is very dynamic and can shoot three-pointers.
In his NBA debut, he scored 15 points, five rebounds and two assists. However, the Spurs lost to the Dallas Mavericks.
The teenager’s best performance came in early November for the Phoenix Suns, when he recorded 38 points and ten rebounds.
The giant from France was selected number one in this year’s draft by San Antonio Spurs.
He has been doing very well since his first match in the best league in the world. So far in the NBA, his average achievements per game are 18.6 points, 9.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists.
The all-time record for an NBA rookie jersey is held by Kobe Bryant. The jersey was sold in May 2021 for $3.69 million after the death of the basketball legend.
