It's official: San Antonio Spurs fans are cooking right now when it comes to nicknames, the latest being "Area 51." Of course, that refers to Victor Wembanyama, who already has an alien-themed nickname and wears number 1, while Stephon Castle wears number 5. Area 51 itself is in the Nevada Air Base, with alien rumors swirling, adding to the cleverness of the nickname.
With Wembanyama and Castle emerging as a dynamic duo, Spurs fans are understandably interested in seeing more of the pairing. Castle has been tasked with playing point guard to start the season and has been responsible for running the offense and getting Wembanyama the ball.
