Houston just became Victor Wembanyama’s last summer stop. More specifically, at Houston Rockets legend Hakeem Olajuwon’s Ranch, for a private workout in the Rockets legend’s gym. Before we dive into what this means for Wemby’s career arc, let’s recap what he did before landing in Houston:
1. Shaolin Monk - June
He spent ~10 days at China’s Shaolin Temple: shaved his head, lived monk-style, and did daily kung-fu/meditation. In L’Équipe he described “more than 1,000 kicks per day,” balance drills, stretching, and “some of the biggest aches” of his life—work he says helped body positioning and mobility.
