Now that the NBA’s All-Star Weekend has wrapped up, fans are eagerly anticipating the return of the season, which kicks off again in just a few days.
The All-Star break isn’t just about taking a breather; it’s a prime occasion for top-notch players to join forces and flaunt their skills on a grand stage.
This event is also a brilliant chance for players to mingle and play alongside others outside their usual teams, giving them a sense of how their dynamic holds up with different teammates.
Recently, the NBA shared a delightful moment from the locker room, capturing an exchange between Victor Wembanyama and Nikola Jokic just before the All-Star Game. Jokic was taken aback when he spotted Wembanyama with a book in hand in the locker room.
Victor Wembanyama shrugged off the attention, explaining that he often reads before games as part of his pre-game ritual.
Players have their unique ways of mentally preparing for a game, and for Wembanyama, a good book seems to do the trick.
While this might seem unconventional for some, Wembanyama’s penchant for reading sets him apart as a unique athlete who follows his own path to get into the right mindset.
Whatever his pre-game routine might be, it appears to be paying off, as the San Antonio Spurs are currently enjoying a strong run.
The recent addition of De’Aaron Fox alongside Chris Paul and Wembanyama is proving to be a smart move for the Spurs, who are aiming to break their playoff drought dating back to 2019.
