At just 20 years old, power forward Victor Wembanyama, affectionately known as “Wemby,” has swiftly ascended to become one of the most anticipated NBA draft selections in history, snagging the top spot in the 2023 NBA Draft for the San Antonio Spurs.
As a rising star of the next NBA generation, it was only fitting that Wembanyama received a futuristic new representation, and his shoe sponsor, Nike, certainly did not disappoint when revealing his new logo during a mesmerizing eclipse.
Many already consider the rookie to be “out of this world,” and Nike took this concept to new heights with an alien-themed logo reveal that left fans awestruck.

The revealing video opens with a frame over a South Texas field, a nod to the Aurora UFO sightings, accompanied by ambient music setting an otherworldly tone. Slowly, the logo is revealed, sparking excitement and anticipation for what lies ahead for the dynamic power forward.
The tweet accompanying the video cleverly references the recent eclipse, stating, “The total eclipse has just begun,” hinting at the grand plans Nike has in store for Wembanyama as he continues to dazzle the league.
Wembanyama’s statistics thus far are nothing short of extraordinary, setting him apart from his draft class peers. Currently averaging just over 21 points and 10.7 rebounds per game, he also leads the league with an impressive 3.6 blocks per game.
With such remarkable performance, it seems inevitable that he is a front-runner for both the NBA’s Rookie and Defensive Player of the Year Awards, especially with 13 games left in the season.
It’s clear that the 7-foot-4 rookie is not just living up to the hype but surpassing it, dominating the NBA court with his unmatched skills and presence. Fans and analysts alike eagerly await each game as Wembanyama continues to etch his name among the league’s brightest stars.
