Beyond basketball, o Victor Webanyama seems to have a lot of love for it too chess!
The French superstar of the San Antonio Spurs was in New York these days for the game against the Brooklyn Nets, in which the Texans prevailed with a score of 96-87.
This afternoon, the 20-year-old center put out a call via ‘X’ to anyone who wanted to meet him at New York’s Washington Square Park to play chess!
The turnout was incredible as, despite the cold and rain, dozens of people they went to the park with their chess in hand, playing with Webby in an incredible experience!
