Wembanyama is in Indianapolis for the NBA’s All-Star Game festivities and appeared before Saturday Night’s events kicked off.

He was alongside the standard star-studded TNT Inside the NBA cast of host Ernie Johnson and basketball legends Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal, and Kenny Smith.

Johnson asked Wembanyama what the hardest moment Popovich has coached him all season.

Wembanyama recalled a funny story from a film session with Popovich during the season and slipped out a cuss while describing the moment.

“When we talk privately, he knows like I understand. I’m smart; I’m trying to do my best.

“Sometimes, he tries to send a message. I remember like two three months into the season.

“We are in the film in front of everybody, and he goes, ‘What the f*** was that?’

“This is what you were doing since day one… So yeah, sometimes he tries to send messages,” Wembanyama recalled as the TNT crew burst into laughter for him cussing on live TV.

NBA fans flooded social media with reactions to the interview, with many praising Wembanyama’s character.

“This kid just oozes charisma,” this fan expressed.

“This man is so hilarious,” another shared.

“Kid is quickly moving up in the best interview in the league power rankings,” a third said.

“F-bomb on national TV, yeah, I like this kid,” a fourth stated.

The  Spurs selected Wembanyama with the first overall pick in the 2023 NBA draft.

He has had a fantastic rookie season, averaging 20.5 points, ten rebounds, and 3.2 assists.
