Flexibility is very important for a basketball professional as it helps a player perform better, improves balance and most importantly avoids injuries. It would be disastrous if Victor gets injured in his debut season, and that perhaps is the reason for his intense stretching routine.
Fans are loving his exercises and have expressed their hilarious reactions which are very amusing to see.
Fans believe Victor Wembanyama needs to gain more muscle
The reactions of fans online to the stretching video of Wembanyama are surely entertaining, but some fans have also voiced their suggestions for him. They believe he needs to gain some muscle. All that stretching and flexibility is good, but the NBA is more physical than any rookie would expect. And to compete with the rest, the core strength of the players must be high.
Fans pointed this out and suggested Victor gain some muscle. Victor is very slim, and as much of an advantage his height is for him, he needs to gain more muscle to become really dominant on the court. In light of his current figure, it will be easy for powerful players to shove him aside or drive through him.
One fan commented, “This guy is way too limber for his height.”, pointing out Wembanyama’s lean form.
