WATCH: Nike releases total eclipse video, potentially revealing Victor Wembanyama’s new signature logo

Victor Wembanyama’s rookie season has been out of this world. Nike seems to have given the San Antonio Spurs star the logo to match.

Earlier today, Nike posted a video that teased the shoe company’s new logo for Wembanyama, which went perfectly with the Solar Eclipse that was witnessed across North America today. 

The video didn’t mention Wemby by name but did reference “Somewhere in South Texas” which is exactly where San Antonio is located. 

Nike signed Wembanyama to a deal rumored to be in the $100 million range before he even played a game in the NBA.

They also have called Wemby “The Extraterrestrial” in previous marketing campaigns, so the logo makes perfect sense. 

Victor Wembanyama is averaging 21.3 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game during his rookie season with the Spurs. He sits alone atop all NBA Rookie of the Year rankings and has also been mentioned to win the Defensive Player of the Year Award while being considered for the All NBA Team. 

Note: Wemby leads the league in total blocks (235) and blocks per game (3.5).

In advanced stats, Wembanyama ranks fifth in usage (31.3%), behind only Luka Doncic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Anthony Edwards among players expected to qualify at the 65-game minimum for major awards. His primary ROY rival, OKC’s Chet Holmgren, is way down at No. 140.

Wembanyama also ranks 13th in the NBA in rebound percentage (17.4) and sixth in defensive rebound percentage (27.3). 

Wembanyama has played 67 of San Antonio’s 76 games. This means that if he plays the remaining six, he needs just 40 more points and 24 more rebounds to be the first rookie since Blake Griffin in 2010-11 (22.5 ppg, 12.1 rpg) to lock in a 20-10 season. However, the 7-foot-4 Spurs star would need to average 6.0 blocked shots and play all six to tie Alonzo Mourning (271) for fifth in total blocks by a rookie. The record of 397 – at least since blocks became an official stat category in 1973-74 – was set by Manute Bol in 1985-86 with Washington.
