‘Wenbanyamania’ is real and TV viewers are proof of it
Victor Wembaneyama’s NBA debut was a ratings success on ESPN.
French Pearl’s debut game against Luka Doncic’s Dallas Mavericks, who took the lead with a great performance, recorded a 1.7% share on American networks and 2.99 million viewers. “Wenbanyamania” is a fact, and the only game in recent history that has surpassed his numbers is LeBron James’ debut game with the Lakers, which drew 3.36 million people to their television sets.
Although he was in foul trouble and lost the game 119-126, Wenbanyama had a good debut in the NBA with 15 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals, but most importantly, he can do more. It left a positive impression. Despite not being the regular season opener, Spurs vs. Mavs is the most watched game of the season, surpassing Lakers vs. Nuggets (2.84 million) and Suns vs. Warriors (2.71 million).

The Euroleague match between Hapoel Tel Aviv and Paris, which was planned to be played on Friday, January 9 at 20:00, will be postponed again.
The Reds had previously made an official request to the Euroleague management regarding this issue, and it is expected to be announced in the coming days.
The match will probably not be played on Friday evening and will be played around the February break for the national teams.
Hapoel management is unhappy with the behavior of the French club and its owner David Kahn. They claim that Paris refused to fly a connecting flight to Israel.
According to Euroleague rules, in double-header weeks, each team must reach the match arena by direct flight or travel no more than one and a half hours. However, the French refuse to attend the match on the grounds that it is against the regulations, as they will be playing in Türkiye, where there has been no direct flight to Israel since October 7.
Hapoel Tel Aviv also said that Paris refused to fly via Cyprus, which would ultimately lead to the postponement of the game.
In the statement made by the club, “Paris owner David Kahn insists on a direct flight to Israel, which is not possible from Türkiye. He is doing everything possible to avoid coming to Israel.”
Previously, there was news that there was a flu epidemic in one of Europe’s leading clubs.
