Often compared for their rookie season, Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren have been facing each other for years now.
Is there really hostility between the two players? The Thunder star was very honest on the subject.
Crowned rookie of the year ahead of Chet Holmgren, Victor Wembanyama has often been compared to the Thunder player in the past. It must be said that the two men have been facing each other for years, including on the FIBA courts, to the point where a certain rivalry seems to have set in.
Wemby has already confirmed that he is not friends with Chet, although the respect is there.
On social networks, however, it’s a bit of a war every time the two men face each other in the NBA.
That shouldn’t change for 2025, even if this duo is betting above all on victory.
Wembanyama will be looking to reach the playoffs with the Spurs, while Holmgren will be looking to win the title with a more advanced Thunder team.
Chet Holmgren honest about Victor Wembanyama
But for fans, the Thunder-Spurs games will be very interesting for next year, especially with this rivalry between the two men.
However, Holmgren doesn’t exactly agree. Appearing on Paul George’s podcast this week, Chet was asked to speak about his relationship with Wembanyama.

Chet Holmgren on Victor Wembanyama: “I would say we’re competitors. We’ve been competing for a long time, way before the NBA.
But people are starting to say, ‘Are you guys in conflict?’ and I’m like, ‘Conflict?’, no, we’re just on the court competing. Conflict for me is when I get on the court and I want to fight. I don’t even know the guy.”
“We just play basketball against each other. As competitors, no one wants to lose or let the other guy score a basket.
People who talk about conflict don’t really understand what being a competitor is, I guess. (…) I’ve learned things after every duel and Wembanyama is no different… well, if he is different, this guy is 7’10”.
Some things you do against other people don’t work against him.”
No conflict between the two men, even if the duels between Wembanyama and Holmgren are really special.
We’re already looking forward to seeing them again next season in the NBA, with hopefully some spectacular clashes.
Chet Holmgren calms things down with Victor Wembanyama, who claims that there is no conflict between them.
Just two very competitive basketball players, ready to do anything to win.
Yes, the next generation of the NBA is already here.
