Upcoming H-E-B commercials will showcase the rookie basketball player, Victor Wembanyama, along with his teammates. On Monday, Wembanyama hinted at his upcoming debut on the big screen through an H-E-B commercial. It is no surprise to San Antonio residents that iconic commercials featuring Spurs legends have been around since 2004. This tradition is being revived with Wembanyama leading the way. When asked about his acting skills, the confident rookie expressed his potential for a future in acting. Additionally, he revealed his favorite H-E-B commercial to be the 2014 one featuring Tony Parker, Tim Duncan, and Manu Ginobili, where the cast spoke eloquently.
Victor is keeping mum about his involvement in the upcoming commercial, which has sparked rumors. It’s highly likely that Parker, his French coworker, will also feature in the ad, given the focus on food products and the French’s love for culinary arts. As H-E-B ads are usually a group endeavor, we can expect players like Devin Vassell and Keldon Johnson to participate, along with the potential for many more teammates to join in.
Victor expressed his love for books again on Monday, revealing that he is a big fan of Brandon Sanderson, the American fantasy writer. It’s interesting to compare the early careers of King James and Wemby’s hero, Kevin Durant. Although Wemby excels in many areas, the difficulty of achieving success as a rookie on a team is particularly impressive.
The Twitter account Spurs Culture recently shared a comparison of the first 18 NBA games played by Wemby, LeBron, and Durant, with statistics such as points per game, rebounds per game, assists per game, blocks per game, and steals. Fans noticed that Wemby’s numbers were impressive despite his absence from basketball for a while. To show his skills, another Twitter account called WembyMuse shared a thread of his top 10 plays in November, with personal favorite being number 2 where he smoothly moved past two defenders for a spectacular dunk.
