    You took the first post down because it was a terrible misleading title.

    Then proceeded to repost with an equally bad and misleading title.

    Fixed the title

    Context: AS HOLMGREN MET Mrs. Wembanyama, he collegially brought up the one previous time they indeed had all been together in the same place. It was in Riga, Latvia, in July 2021 at the U19 FIBA World Cup final. Team USA had beaten Team France 83-81 in a hotly contested game during which Wembanyama had frustratingly fouled out in the fourth quarter.

    It is only the worst basketball memory of Wembanyama’s life – “Just thinking about it makes my jaw clench,” he has said – and one of the great accomplishments of Holmgren’s.
