Wembanyama is rarely seen on flights to away games without a thick book in his enormous hands, his teammates said.
“He has books this big,” said Julian Champagnie, holding his thumb and forefinger inches apart.

“He is getting through ’em,” Tre Jones said. “It’s not like he is just stuck on page one. He is not doing it for the pictures. He is reading.”

Wembanyama ranks fantasy as his favorite literary genre. His favorite author: Brandon Sanderson, a 47-year-old native of Lincoln, Nebraska, best known for his “Mistborn” series and for finishing Robert Jordan’s epic, bestselling fantasy series “The Wheel of Time.”

Anyone else remember the “Reading is Fundamental” commercials with NBA players?
HE READS!!???!!

the fact that this is noteworthy at all is a sadness but I have to admit, “He is not doing it for the pictures. He is reading” is a very funny quote.

Americans when someone reads books instead of social media feeds in his free time 🤯
This is an article saying an NBA player can read lmfao
They need to get him the audiobook version read by Dion Waiters
Only NBA players would be amazed by someone actually reading a book lmfao
Wow he’s just like me fr (a fan of the Cosmere series). Life before death, Wemby.
This just tells me most NBA players can’t read.
Life before death, Radiant
That’s nice. People are going to joke about this but, most adults don’t read more than 3 “real” books a year, including most of you.
Not perpetually stuck on LeFirstPage
Kelvin Benjamin is rarely seen on his flight without a full plate in his enormous hands. “He has plates this big” Said his teammate, holding his hands 2 feet apart. “It’s not like he’s stuck on one plate”. Teammate said “He is not doing it for the pictures. He is eating.”
Never thought I’d see the day when an NBA player is a fan of WOT and Sanderson. And an NBA player of this calibre too lol
Someone needs to ask him who his favourite Wheel of Time character is
I read Sanderson too bro is just like me fr fr
Big Ol’ Books in San Antonio
