Juggling, chess and long novels: Wembanyama's secret talents clip takes off
A short Spurs clip about the most random thing their French center is good at drew in seven hours far more than a Bleacher Report upload usually gathers in a full day.

Wemby has many secret talents 🤣
A typical new clip on Bleacher Report gathers around 15,000 views in its first day. "Wemby has many secret talents 🤣" passed 160,000 in seven hours, a pace of roughly twenty-four times that usual first day.
The premise is simple. San Antonio Spurs players are asked to name the most random thing Victor Wembanyama is good at, and the joke is that the answers do not match. The comments collect the list: juggling, chess, getting through long novels. One running gag is the idea of someone that tall juggling as a circus act. Another is Wembanyama's own reply when praised for reading, which viewers keep quoting back to each other. Luke Kornet's name comes up often, and a few commenters suggest a chess match with Magnus Carlsen.
The chess part fits what fans already know. Wembanyama once sat down at the tables in New York's Washington Square Park in a disguise and played strangers there, a clip that spread well beyond basketball circles.
The Spurs clip is not the only lighthearted one on the channel. Mike Tomlin showing off a Minecraft city he says he has spent twelve years building, and another Munetaka Murakami interview after the White Sox beat the Astros in the AL Wild Card, went up around it. Wembanyama's is the one that took off. The channel as a whole is running at more than double its usual daily pace.
