Ever for the reason that Spurs gained the appropriate to draft Victor Wembanyama, large modifications have been afoot in San Antonio. They’ve gotten media consideration like by no means earlier than and even have their very own ESPN reporter for the primary time since their championship-contending days. Nonetheless, one factor the Spurs have hardly ever had is a participant highlighted by a global model. Tim Duncan was sponsored by Nike and later Adidas, however whereas he appeared in some commercials, it’s laborious to recall him really being “highlighted” (simply how he preferred it).
However now we’re seeing that worldwide branding being wielded on Wemby’s behalf due to a sponsorship from Nike, which has dubbed him the “The Extraterrestrial” whereas selling their new tech line, which incorporates fleece exercise put on, sneakers, and different gear for all ages. (Whereas Wemby doesn’t have a signature shoe but, he will likely be sporting Nike model on the courtroom, however when — not if — he does get that shoe deal, it will solely be becoming for them to be alien inexperienced.)
Though LeBron James had already dubbed Wemby “The Alien”, “The Extraterrestrial” does have a sure ring and pleasure to it, even when it’s extra work to kind out and say. (J.R. Wilco suggests E.T., which I can get down with.) Regardless, he does appear to have embraced the moniker, as some could have seen when he was signing murals round city that he included the basic alien head along with his signature. It’s solely becoming that with a lot consideration surrounding UFO’s nowadays, Wemby would convey that very same degree of pleasure to San Antonio.
On that be aware, this looks like nearly as good a time as any for a ballot to find out which nickname is at the moment favored for Victor: The Alien, The Extraterrestrial, or just E.T.?
