This yr’s projected primary NBA draft choose isn’t proud of FIBA after they posted what he claims to be a “fake interview” of him.
On February 18, FIBA printed an “exclusive interview” the place 19-year-old Wembanyama spoke about enjoying for the French nationwide staff and the European qualifiers for the FIBA World Cup.
But Wembanyama claims the interview by no means truly passed off and took to Instagram to let individuals know.
“4 days ago FIBA published a fake interview of me,” Wembanyama wrote on his IG story. “Wtf???”
After seeing this, FIBA issued a press release apologizing and saying that they had taken the story down. They claimed the interview “was provided to FIBA by a long-time French contributor” they usually have “immediately terminated the relationship with the freelance reporter.”

FIBA has since been gassing Wembanyama up on their socials immediately as he recorded 22 factors, 17 rebounds, six blocks and 4 steals within the World Cup Qualifiers.
Nothing to see right here…
