On Sunday night, the NBA All-Star Game will take place at the Chase Center in San Francisco.
San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama is only in his second season (but was named an All-Star).
Before the game, he had a viral interaction with Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets) in the locker room.
Jokic: “You really brought a book?”
Wembanyma: “Yeah. I read a book before every game.”
Many fans reacted to the clip.
@ornellismo: “”OMG he really thinks hes the best…””
@djovanovikj: “The camera pan to a disappointed Joker is pure comedy šš”
@landonpaul0: “Jokic acting like donāt ride horses before games”
@caltara.z: “Pity there are no horses in the locker room for Joker to groom pre-game. šššš”
@dkalantari: “Jokic like who reads book before their 9-5 job š”
@dericktanglao: “He shouldāve read the rules to the skills challenge yesterday š¤·š»āāļø”
@350_vq35: “Reading is like meditation. Helps to relax. Thereās studies that shows that even just a few minutes of reading can reduce stress levels by a substantial amount. I respect him for doing that š«””
Jokic has won the MVP award in three of the previous four seasons.
He went into the All-Star break with averages of 29.8 points, 12.6 rebounds, 10.2 assists and 1.8 steals per contest while shooting 57.7% from the field and 45.0% from the three-point range.
