The last few days have been extremely busy for the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, Victor Wembanyama. He was the star attraction in the highly anticipated event, received a hero's welcome as he landed in San Antonio, and had dinner with San Antonio Spurs legends.

The French phenom had dinner with Basketball Hall of Famers Tim Duncan, David Robinson, and Manu Ginobili on Friday night. Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich and former Spurs player Sean Elliott were also present.

Wembanyama is the Spurs' third No. 1 overall pick like Robinson and Duncan, and he has huge expectations from fans who are hoping he can rejuvenate their franchise that has been in the wilderness in the last few years. Robinson and Duncan are multiple-time NBA champions and remain two of the best players in NBA history.

The 7-foot-4 is considered one of the best prospects in NBA history, and many analysts and fans have called him a generational talent, a tag that brings a lot of pressure to become a superstar, per Bleacher Report.

Wemy reflects on dinner

The 19-year-old had dinner with the franchise icons and says it gave him an opportunity to learn.

"Probably in a couple hours, I learned more about the NBA than my whole life before that," Wembanyama said. "It's so comforting to see these people who are so important to the city of San Antonio and the franchise are such great people and generous. They genuinely wanted to share their experience. I feel like they've already started to take great care of me. It's so important to be in a position where it's so comfortable," via ESPN.

Wembanyama and his compatriot Sidy Cissoko, who was taken No. 44 overall as the Spurs' only other draft pick, were introduced to the San Antonio fans. They then took pictures in their new jerseys before being introduced by Spurs general manager Brian Wright.
