Victor Wembanyama was picked first overall by the San Antonio Spurs during the 2023 NBA Draft. There is a lot of hype around this 19-year-old 7’4″ young prodigy, and all for the right reasons. Victor had already set expectations high by dominating the FIBA U-19 World Cup in 2021. After an incredible run at the preseason games, Victor is all geared up for his regular-season debut match against the Dallas Mavericks.

However, he has already won over quite a number of fans during his preseason games. And all thanks to this rookie, the Spurs are in for a historic treat. With Victor’s unforgiving blocks, sleek ball handles, and scoring, he is increasing the number of fans who want to watch him, and this has materialized in the form of heightened ticket sales and National TV demands. As a result, the Spurs are churning out profits from their games.

The numbers don’t lie

According to Front Office Sports, the numbers are definitely going up in terms of ticket sales and media coverage. This season, the Spurs is set to be aired on national television at least 19 times, up from only four appearances the last season. Additionally, the team has garnered a record-high overall season ticket accounts, a feat that is the first in the history of the franchise. The Spurs have “also received 4,000 new season-ticket deposits” as Victor is on his way to becoming the face of the franchise.

With all eyes on him, Victor is taking the pressure quite well as nothing seems to be stopping him from dominating the court. At the same time, he is also changing the entire landscape of the NBA as more than 50% of the new ticket accounts turn out to be from millennials and Gen Zs as they call it. The young talent, on the other hand, has his own personal goals.
