  • Get to know the Wembanyama Family
    While Wembanyama may be an "alien" outlier in the basketball world, he is simply one of several athletes to emerge from his family. That includes his grandfather and mother, both of whom played basketball professionally; his Olympic athlete father; and his siblings, who have their own playing careers in France.
    Considering the athletic pedigree of his family, it's no wonder Wembanyama is regarded as the can't-miss prospect and was picked number 1 in the 2023 NBA Draft.
    Meet the Wembanyama family, a name that resonates with talent, ambition, and a fascinating story that transcends borders. Originating from the heart of France, the Wembanyama family has etched their name in the sport's history, particularly in the basketball world.
    At the center of this family's extraordinary tale is Victor Wembanyama, a towering figure both literally and metaphorically in the basketball realm. Standing at a staggering 7 feet 4 inches, Victor isn't just tall; he's a skyscraper in sneakers! His journey from France's old-fashioned suburbs of Paris to professional basketball's dazzling lights is nothing short of a fairy tale.
    Throughout Victor Wembanyama's meteoric rise to the NBA, his parents and siblings have supported him.
    The rookie's parents, Félix Wembanyama and Elodie de Fautereau, raised him in France, along with his sister, Eve, and brother, Oscar. The three siblings bonded over their shared love of sports and appreciation for their family. Félix and Elodie encouraged their children to participate and find their passion in sports, and all three Wembanyama siblings picked up basketball.

      I understand because I think I am even prouder because i'm a Chesnaysiens french, which means I was born in the same hospital, grew up in the same city and went to the same school as him 😍😍 My brother even had his mom as a basketball coach she is wonderful and lovely !!

    Regression to the mean: tall parents will have tall kids, but they won't be as tall as their parents. Kareem, Bill Walton, Jordan, Magic, they all have tall sons, but none of them are taller than their fathers. As Wemby and Yao Ming have shown, there are always exceptions to this.

    Fun fact: Victor was born and raised in Le Chesnay. LC is a Paris suburbs next to Versailles. It is one of the wealthiest and poshest areas you could think of, very very upscale. Actually, the Church of Jésus Christ of latter day saints (thé mormons) built their main European temple, there, recently. They don't exactly go to shabby places if you see what i mean.
    Bottom Line is: it's Not exactly the kind of place where you generally find athletic talent.
    I think they're relatively wealthy from the mother's family side.

      The Wembanyama family was not wealthy (I say “was” because lord knows they are now). Both parents had respectable middle-income jobs. Le Chesnay is not particularly ritzy. It’s like any suburb in the Yvelines, west of Paris. There are nice parts and shitty parts.

    I've been wondering about who he is and what he came from.
    Makes sense now that he is 7'4" with a 6'7" father and a 6'1" mother.
    I hope he doesn't marry a 6 foot woman, he'd likely have
    children 8 feet tall.
