Wendy’s goes all in on Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama Mania after win vs. Thunder

San Antonio Spurs superstar Victor Wembanyama posted an all-time great Western Conference Finals performance Monday night versus the Oklahoma City Thunder, one that transcended the NBA playoffs and bled into the fast-food sphere.

Burger giant Wendy’s was so enamored with the 22-year-old center’s triumphant 49-minute effort that it considered paying homage to him. “Might change my name to Wemby’s and only serve french fries after last night’s game,” the restaurant chain’s official X account joked on Tuesday.

People have been labeling this Game 1 showing as Wembanyama’s “I have arrived” moment, but perhaps this social media post better announces his presence as a household name who is ready to stake his claim as the best basketball player on the planet. The 7-foot-4 Frenchman scored 41 points on 14-of-25 shooting to go with 24 rebounds and three blocks in a 122-115 double overtime road victory versus the Spurs.

Whether he was effortlessly finishing off lob passes, altering shots or drilling a game-tying 3-pointer near the Thunder logo, Wembanyama overpowered the reigning NBA champions. He wants what two-time MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Oklahoma City currently possess, and he knows it will take a herculean display to take it.

Even if San Antonio is unable to dethrone OKC this year, The Alien has invaded the cultural zeitgeist. This global juggernaut is engaging the masses with his inimitable skill set. Wendy’s is just the beginning. His influence will know no bounds if he continues at this breakneck pace.

Victor Wembanyama will try to bring the Thunder to their knees with another mammoth showcase in the Paycom Center. Game 2 tips off at 8:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday night.
