San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama is considered the best NBA prospect since LeBron James, and he’s already turning heads with his play in the NBA preseason. During his first preseason game on Oct. 9., the 19-year-old Frenchman scored 20 points with a full arsenal of eye-catching plays.

Wembanyama is a 7-foot-4 big man with the ball-handling and shooting abilities of a guard. He is truly a generational talent who will surely be a game-changer for coach Gregg Popovich and the Spurs.

Wembanyama first began playing professionally in 2019 and now led the French top flight in numerous categories, including points, rebounds, and blocks. This kid is the real deal and has had NBA scouts drooling for years over his unique skillset. It’s truly remarkable what he can do on the court.

So, where does Wemby’s athleticism come from? In this piece, we’ll take a look at his entire family, including his parents, siblings, grandparents, and even his relationship status.

Parents

Sports are evidently in Wembanyama’s blood. His father is a native of Congo and actually ran track and field when he was younger. While Felix never participated in the Olympics, he was reportedly a long jumper, high jumper, and triple jumper. Wemby has even credited his father for teaching him how to properly jump and run.

Now, over to the basketball routes. the mother of Victor Wembanyama, Elodie de Fautereau, played professionally before becoming a youth coach. She introduced the big man to basketball at a young age after he initially played soccer and judo. He couldn’t help but lace them up and hit the court given the roots of the game:

“I mean, I had the choice and I still have the choice to play or not play basketball, but basketball has always been around,” Wembanyama says. “I can’t avoid it in my family.”

Grandparents

Reports indicate that both grandparents of Wembanyama were involved in basketball. Michel de Fautereau played in the French top division for a club out of Paris and stood 6 foot 7. Marie Christine meanwhile “drove him to games” and was also a player, per SLAM.

Siblings

It runs in the blood, right? Wemby’s sister, Eve Wembanyama, is a 21-year-old professional in the second division of the French basketball system for a club out of Monaco. She helped the U16 France squad win the FIBA World Championships back in 2017. She stands at 6 foot 1
