French basketball prodigy Victor Wembanyama has been making headlines in the NBA with the San Antonio Spurs, but now all eyes are on his younger brother, Oscar Wembanyama, whose own basketball journey is starting to turn heads.

Oscar, born on March 18, 2007, took to the basketball court in 2020 for Nanterre’s U-15 team, following the path laid out by his older brother Victor, who once wore the same jersey. Despite the towering shadow cast by Victor, Oscar’s talent quickly garnered attention, leading him to sign with ASVEL in 2022 after Victor moved on to Metropolitans 92.

The Wembanyama brothers owe their athletic abilities to their parents, Felix Wembanyama, a former track and field athlete, and Elodie de Fautereau, a professional basketball player-turned-coach, who undoubtedly shaped their basketball journey.

While Oscar may not match Victor’s towering stature of 7’4”, standing at around 6’7”, he possesses the athleticism and skill set to forge his own path in the basketball world. His dedication to the sport, evident both on and off the court, is showcased through his growing Instagram following.

Although Oscar and Victor command attention on the basketball court, they are not the only athletes in the Wembanyama family. Their older sister, Eve Wembanyama, born on December 10, 2001, has also left her mark in the basketball world, representing France in various 3×3 basketball events. Standing at 6’1”, Eve has competed for prestigious clubs like LDLC ASVEL Feminin in the EuroLeague Women league, highlighting the family’s basketball pedigree across generations.

As Victor continues to shine in the NBA, Oscar’s promising career trajectory suggests a bright future ahead. With supportive parents and a talented sibling like Victor to guide him, Oscar Wembanyama is poised to make his mark on the basketball world, carrying forward the family legacy of excellence on the court.
