French basketball phenom Victor Wembanyama, who was drafted by the San Antonio Spurs, is said to benefit from the franchise's renowned culture under coach Gregg Popovich, according to former Spurs player LaMarcus Aldridge. Popovich's coaching style focuses on life outside of basketball and providing perspective to players. However, Aldridge expresses concern about the Pressure being placed on Wembanyama, who is considered one of the best prospects since LeBron James.
