SAN ANTONIO — All eyes will be on France as the 2024 Olympics are just days away from beginning.
To celebrate Paris and all the incredible athletes, a massive poster of San Antonio Spurs' Victor Wembanyama dots the city, and Olympic organizers announced that the country was ready for the opening ceremonies to begin.
“We are ready as we head into the final phase,” said Olympic organizers via the AFP. "For as long as the closing ceremony hasn’t finished, we need to remain vigilant. But today we are exactly where we would have dreamed of being a few years ago.”
France isn't the only spot in the world to find Wemby posters, murals, and advertisements.
San Antonio has plenty of Victor murals fans can use to get selfies and add to their Spurs murals collection.
Wembanyama will be representing France at the basketball tournament.
Recently, Team France lost to Team Australia in exhibition play, 83-82. Wembanyama finished with 17 points and 12 rebounds. Former Spur Patty Mills led Australia with 24 points and three assists.

Sochan snapped photos with the players and even participated in the London Dunk Contest, allowing himself (and others) to get dunked on by one of the participants.
