Victor Wembanyama Draws in 39-Building Gramercy Park as Knicks Fan Rages Over Access

3 articles · Updated · For The Win · Jun 8

Summary

  • Victor Wembanyama was seen relaxing and sketching inside Manhattan's private Gramercy Park, with the video going viral as the Spurs star faces the Knicks.
  • 39 buildings reportedly hold keys to the park, so someone would have had to lend Wembanyama access or personally let the 7-foot-4 French center in.
  • The complaint came from a Knicks supporter who argued that, if the visit happened over the weekend, New Yorkers should not be helping an opposing star unwind during the series.
  • The report offers no confirmation of when the video was shot, leaving unclear whether the park visit occurred between games or before the latest online backlash.
