We now interrupt your regularly scheduled sports browsing to present you this science lesson, courtesy of San Antonio Spurs Rookie of the Year winner Victor Wembanyama.
“Dark matter is like a mass we can’t see, but we know it’s there because it has influence on gravitational pulls and the speed of gravitational pulls and orbits in every galaxy,” Wembanyama told reporters on Saturday when asked about his fascination with dark matter. “It’s presence inside galaxies is five times higher than regular, seeable matter. So it’s a huge mystery. We can’t see it, we can’t observe it, but we can observe its influence. So this is dark matter, very sci-fi.”

Spurs fans and opponents alike are more than a little familiar with the influence and gravity that Wembanyama provides after his scintillating rookie season. All he did was average 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists and an NBA-leading 3.6 blocks per game, all while shooting 46.5 percent from the field and 32.5 percent from three.
All of that, and he’s only 20 years old. Wemby is already a shooting star on the court, and off it he probably could school you on all manner of astronomical phenomenons. Get you a rookie who can do it all.
