A month after the Alamo City landed the No. 1 pick during the NBA Draft lottery, Victor Wembanyama is officially a San Antonio Spur. Thousands of fans packed the AT&T Center Thursday afternoon for the team’s official draft watch party, some wearing homemade Wembanyama jerseys before the official ones even went on sale. Although the Spurs taking the 7-foot-3, 19-year-old French player as the first pick was almost certain, fans inside the arena stood and unleashed a deafening cheer as the Jumbotron overhead showed the team make its pick — and as an emotional Wembanyama shed tears of joy.
