GSW’s Unique Playing Style A Major Influence On Victor Wembanyama

When you come to think of how many things you got yourself into doing just because you watch someone else do it, I bet your list is as endless as mine.

We are inspired by watching others do things that somehow influence our decisions. This effect is no different for Victor Wembanyama.

He might be an “alien” according to LeBron James or a “2K Cheat Code” as per Stephen Curry’s words but that does not stop him from being influenced by observing and watching his environment.

While speaking to Sports Illustrated Chicago native Jeremy Woo, Wemby stated how the 2010’s Golden State Warriors were a major influence in his playing career.

Victor, talking about the Golden State Warriors said, “They won, they enjoyed themselves and they did it in style.”

Wembanyama being inspired by the 2010s Golden State Warriors comes as no surprise. Coached by Steve Kerr, the Warriors played in five NBA championship finals and won three of them in 10 years!

It gets even more outrageous to find out that GSW reached all four finals in a row from 2015 to 2018.

The Warriors have been on a streak still as they went on to win the 2021-22 NBA Championship in which they went head to head with the Boston Celtics.

Even though they were eliminated by LeBron Lakers in the semi-final of the NBA western conference this year, they seem to still be in good form.

Wembanyama being influenced by the Curry-inspired Warriors is unquestionable the team has had its fair share of superstars and highs that could be eye-catching to watch.

With all the Warriors’ achievements, I could have been inspired too and it’s no doubt that Victor was.

GSW is a storied franchise as they toppled the 1995-96 Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls for most wins by an NBA team in a season.

The Warriors finished the 2015-16 regular season with a record of 73-9 against that of the 1995-96 Bulls which stood at 72-10.
That goes to show you how lethal the 2010s Warriors were, no wonder Victor fell in love with their game.

Wembanyama is projected to be the first overall pick in the June 22, 2023 draft with Detroit Pistons, San Antonio Spurs and the Houston Rockets all having the highest probability of landing the first overall pick.

If Victor was wishing to join the Golden State Warriors then we might as well be bearers of bad news since the Warriors get a draft from 15th position and below.

Victor has however stated that he is fine with any team and there is no bad team. This means that Victor’s mental fortitude is strong enough to survive in any franchise once he gets to the NBA and as he said while talking to AP News, “I was built for this.”
