The NBA’s All-Star Weekend is officially over, and the season is slated to resume in just a few days.
This is not only an opportunity for players to rest and relax ahead of the second half of the season, but it’s a chance for some of the league’s best players to come together and show the world what they can do.
It’s also a great way for players to network and play together, an opportunity to see what their chemistry is like with athletes on other teams.
The NBA recently shared a video of a locker room interaction between Victor Wembanyama and Nikola Jokic before the All-Star Game, with Jokic in disbelief that Wembanyama brought a book to the locker room.
Joker couldn’t believe Wemby brought a book to #NBAAllStar 🤣

Wembanyama didn’t see it as a big deal, noting that reading books is a ritual that he takes part in before every game.
Everybody has their ways of getting their head in the game, so to speak, and Wembanyama seemingly likes to unwind with a book.
It might seem like a counter-cultural thing to do, but Wembanyama is a different type of player, so it makes sense that he might try something different to get in the right headspace.
Whatever his routine is, it’s working, as the San Antonio Spurs have been on a roll lately.
Adding De’Aaron Fox into the fold beside Chris Paul and Wembanyama has been a great move for the Spurs, who will look to make the playoffs this year for the first time since 2019.
