Britney Spears fans took to social media to taunt San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama after his disappointing debut in the NBA Summer League on Friday in Las Vegas.
The 19-year-old French phenom scored only 9 points, grabbed just eight rebounds and had 5 blocks during the Spurs’ win over the Charlotte Hornets on Friday.
After the game, Victor admitted he played poorly in his NBA debut.
“I didn’t really know what I was doing on the court, but I’m trying to learn for the next games,” he told reporters in a post-game press conference.
The Britney Army mocked the Spurs rookie – 2 days after his bodyguard backhanded the pop star causing her to hit herself in the face.
One Britney fan posted an old clip of the pop singer playing basketball in street clothes and high heels during an appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”
The fan captioned the video, “Britney scoring in heels take notes victor wembanyama.”
Spurs head of security Damian Smith backhanded Britney outside Catch restaurant in Las Vegas on Thursday.
Victor claimed she grabbed him from behind, but video showed Britney tap him on the shoulder.
The “Oops! I Did It Again” singer filed a police report, but the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department decided not to press charges against Smith.
Britney wrote on Instagram, “I have felt helpless in most situations and my experience in Vegas and my reaction was a cry out on all levels … I will say it!!!”
The Spurs selected Victor number 1 overall in the 2023 NBA Draft last month. He signed a 4-year $55 million contract with the Spurs. The 7’5″ center is officially the tallest player in the NBA.
