SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio Spurs fans are getting creative to celebrate rookie Victor Wembanyama's arrival.
For example, San Antonio artist Nik Soupe painted a mural of Wembanyama on the Southside.
Local coffee shop Mudslingers created "The Alien" drink in honor of Wembanyama and fans are creating their own Wembanyama-inspired tee shirts and merchandise.
And now one fan has taken it to another level and created a custom Wembanyama action figure.
San Antonio's Evan Henson recently shared his custom Wembanyama figure work on social media. The figure has the 19-year-old basketball phenom in a Spurs fiesta city edition jersey and with a breakfast taco wrapped in foil!
Impressive!
His Wembanyama action figure isn't the only Spurs-related custom figure he's created.
Henson has a Tim Duncan, Gregg Popovich, and a Coyote custom figure.
"Wemby fever" is taking hold on not just San Antonio but across the NBA and the globe.
His NBA Summer League debut versus the Hornets was a hot ticket with prices set at over $1,000 on the secondary-ticket market.
Also, his games helped the NBA set viewing records and Spurs tickets are selling fast ahead of next season.
