The NBA All-Star Recreation brings gamers collectively that aren’t used to sharing a locker room with each other, and on Sunday night time, that led to a hilarious second between the Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama and the Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic.
The 2 NBA stars are enjoying for “Chuck’s Global Stars” on this 12 months’s new NBA All-Star Recreation format, and previous to the beginning of Sunday’s festivities, Jokic was caught off guard when he noticed the second-year middle escape a e book at his locker — with the alternate caught by the NBA’s social media workforce.
“You really brought a book?” Jokic requested Wembanyama in astonishment.
“Yeah, I read before every game,” Wembanyama replied.
Jokic couldn’t include his laughter as Wembanyama tried to clarify to him the e book he introduced with him.
Studying earlier than — or in some circumstances throughout — a recreation appears to be gaining steam for professional athletes after A.J. Brown’s propensity for studying on the sideline throughout Eagles video games made nationwide headlines.
Brown was studying Jim Murphy’s e book, “Inner Excellence,” on the time that Fox cameras recorded him doing so through the Eagles Wild Card win over the Packers.

“It gives me a sense of peace,” Brown instructed reporters after the sport. “That’s a book I bring every single game. My teammates call it a recipe. It’s the first time I heard ya’ll got it on camera. It’s not the first game. It got a lot of points in there, it’s a lot of mental parts about it.”
It’s unclear if Wembanyama’s pregame literature decisions are motivational or simply for enjoyment.
It’s been a busy weekend for the younger star after Wembanyama discovered himself embroiled in an All-Star Recreation Abilities Competitors controversy after he was disqualified from the timed occasion of the night time for not taking professional photographs through the competitors.
