“Spurs, if you all are listening, I would love to come in there and get a session with him,” said Garnett about continuing to help Wembanyama.
SAN ANTONIO — During this past NBA offseason, San Antonio Spurs‘ Victor Wembanyama spent time with NBA Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett to pick his brain about the game and more.
“We didn’t do anything. He wanted an exchange, and it was more like some intro (expletive). He’s on a journey to seek knowledge,” Garnett said. “He doesn’t wanna be in that box of the French player, blah, blah, blah. He’s trying to break that whole narrative. He’s changing the way we look at the five position.”
Said Garnett: “I talked to him about simplifying things and dealing with space. He wants to be something outside of the box. He’s about to be something different that we have never seen.”
Fast forward, and Garnett continues to marvel over Wemby’s abilities and upside, and wants to continue to help him improve, but this time in the weight room.
During his recent show, “KG Certified,” the Spurs center came up when KG mentioned he wants to work with Wemby.
“Spurs, if you all are listening, I would love to come in there and get a session with him,” he said.
“He’s trying to get to a place of domination. That’s what I’m seeing him do that when we get in the gym, I want to be able to simply help him with that.”
Wemby should be open to training with Garnett after meeting him.
During the Spurs’ 2025 Media Day, he spoke about meeting KG and what it meant to him.
“(Working with Garnett) was super interesting. He’s got a very unique perspective on relationships with teammates, opponents, even refs and media. He’s really smart emotionally. He’s got this energy but knows how to channel it and use it for the best,” he said.
Wemby’s trajectory is limitless with his combination of size, length, height, youth, and athleticism.
Adding more of Garnett’s fierceness to him and any other lessons Wemby can gain from him will only make him an unstoppable force on the court.
