That scene is even better with the Blu-ray for it. I had to import it because it was never released in the USA on Blu-ray. I have no idea why.

This is absolutely amazing. Hope the best for this guy and recover fully from his blood clot.

Kinda strange for having so much exposure as a monk which is the opposite of what they are trying to achieve. Didn't they seek solitary and being alone? The word monk is derived from the Latin word monachos, which in turn comes from the Greek word monos that means solitary or alone yet I've seen a lot of coverage with Wemby as a monk that I won't be surprise if there's some kind of documentary in the future.

Wembanyama believes Kung Fu training was beneficial

We first spotted Victor Wembanyama stateside July 8, as he pedaled an exercise bike in the background while new Spurs addition Luke Kornet conducted his news conference in San Antonio at Victory Capital Performance Center. The sighting signaled a return to on-court business for Wembanayama, who had just returned from training with monks during a 10-day stay at a Shaolin temple in Zhengzhou, China, followed up by a vacation in Japan, where he produced a couple of viral moments.

Get used to hearing about unconventional training methods from Wembanyama this season.

Those close to the French phenom are quickly learning about his thirst for pushing boundaries physically and mentally. It's precisely why he chose to train in China, according to sources, who said the 21-year-old wanted to put his body through a different method of training to learn more about himself.

According to sources, Wembanyama came away from that training believing it did him some good.

In addition to improved mental focus, Wembanyama believes some of the moves involved in kung fu training taught him more about how to achieve optimal body positioning through a better range of movement, which could prove beneficial on the court.

After leading the NBA in blocked shots last season (176), despite playing just 46 games because of deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder, Wembanyama progressed well in his recovery and told French newspaper L'Équipe, "I'm officially cleared to return" in a story published Monday.

Wembanyama brought the crowd at summer league to its feet Thursday, when he strolled to his courtside seat alongside teammates Jeremy Sochan, De'Aaron Fox, Harrison Barnes, Julian Champagnie and Keldon Johnson with his Spurs leading the Philadelphia 76ers by more than 20 points in the second quarter of the club's opener.

San Antonio won that game 111-70.

He has the mindset of greatness, the physical tools of greatness, the skills of greatness, please just stay healthy big man

This is just as much the reason that I became a fan as his game itself. He has the right attitude, respect and competitive desire to become special.
