Wembanyama gets a massive billboard in France; Sochan gets dunked on at the London NBA 3X Games

Wemby gets a billboard that is almost as massive as him.

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.
