NEW YORK — Just your average Saturday in Midtown Manhattan, where Victor Wembanyama and Kevin Hart lounged shirtless in water-filled metal tubs, designed specifically for their body lengths, with the comedian asking the budding NBA superstar about working out with monks for two weeks in China.
Yes, that’s a lot to take in.
The 21-year-old San Antonio Spurs center participated in two heavily attended events during Saturday’s session of Fanatics Fest at Javits Center. First, Wembanyama bathed beside Hart for an episode of the comedian’s podcast “Cold as Balls” and followed up by sitting in “The Shop” with LeBron James, Tom Brady and streamer Kai Cenat.
Each setting brought out relaxed conversations, as well as some interesting questions from Hart and “The Shop” panel to Wembanyama. Both forums focused on the curiosity about Wembanyama’s trip to China.
He tried to be casual about it with “The Shop,” saying, “I was just in China the last two weeks practicing with the monks.”
