Fanatics Inc. CEO Michael Rubin speaks out about Victor Wembanyama

Michael Rubin knows a thing or two about sports. The American businessman is the brain behind Fanatics Inc. the company that specializes in making licensed sports merchandise.

Rubin recently sat down with ‘All the Smoke’ on Showtime Basketball and revealed all about his meeting with Victor. Rubin said, “Victor is one big dude. He is one impressive guy. I was there for two days. We visited one of our stores, our PSG stores, or NBA store, spent a good time with Victor.  We went to one of his games. got to be there when he got to see what team he would play for. Normally we wouldn’t just assume that when someone gets the first lottery they are automatically there.But I think it is pretty safe to say he’s going to be a Spur.”

He continued, “I was blown away to see a 19YO kid who was just so intelligent.  He was talking to me about not only what he’s going to do on the court and what he believes from a basketball perspective. About how he goes home and wants to write books and how he wants to be an artist. He’s thinking about what he’s gonna do in trading cards with us. I mean, this was a deep-thought individual, with an amazing family, and great parents. If I were on a basketball team and getting him, not only would I be excited about his athletic skill. But this is someone I’d like to build my entire business on.”
