Considering Louis Vuitton is a French brand, it’s no surprise that Wembanyama was picked as one of the ambassadors for the company.
He is already one of the most popular basketball players on the planet, and he is still in his rookie year.
Keeping that in mind, Wembanyama can rake in multiple fantastic endorsement deals as he reaches the prime of his career in the NBA.
Speaking of his career, Wembanyama has played 49 games for the Spurs this season, where he has averaged 20.5 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game for the team.
Wembanyama is having an excellent individual season and is expected to win the NBA Rookie of the Year award for this season.
But when it comes to the Spurs, they are dead last in the Western Conference standings as they currently have an 11-44 record.
