A Victor Wembanyama fan is clearly believing the hype surrounding the NBA’s newest phenom … purchasing the Spurs rookie’s debut jersey this week for nearly a MILLION dollars!!
The threads Wemby wore during his first-ever game with San Antonio hit the Sotheby’s auction block last week … and experts had projected it to sell for right around $100K.
But, with the lore of Wembanyama growing every time he touches the floor … one unidentified bidder ended up locking it all down on Tuesday for a whopping $762,000!!!

Victor Wembanyama Debut Jersey Hits Auction, Bidding Soars To $50K On 1st Day
Of course, while the price tag is certainly a steep one … it could be a helluva an investment — because Wembanyama is proving night in and night out that he’s simply different.
Through 14 games so far, he’s averaging 18.6 points per game as well as 9.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists, one steal and 2.6 blocks.
He’ll take the floor again next on Wednesday night … and one thing is for sure — a person with $762K less in their bank account will now be cheering him on like crazy!
