The Inside the NBA crew, who are always fun and funny, were chatting with Wembanyama. They asked him about his rookie season, how he felt, what he learned. Then they hit him with the big question, what was the hardest Gregg Popovich has ever been on him during this rookie season, halfway through.

Wembanyama, who is usually calm and polite, shocked everyone with his answer. He told them a story about a film session with Gregg Popovich, the legendary coach who doesn’t tolerate mistakes. As Wembanyama told the story, everyone was on the edge of their seats. But they didn’t expect what he said next.

The reaction was priceless. As you saw, the whole Inside the NBA crew cracked up laughing, but were also speechless for a few moments. It was a moment of pure honesty, a young player sharing a glimpse of his life in the NBA. For many people, it was the first time they heard Victor Wembanyama say a curse word, and they loved it.
