NBA star Wembanyama has completed a ten-day training retreat at the Shaolin Temple, where he practiced "Shaolin basketball" with his fellow disciples.

After ten days of seclusion, NBA Spurs star Wembanyama has completed his training, successfully passing the Shaolin skill assessment and being awarded the "Shaolin First Level," making him the first NBA player to receive a Shaolin martial arts rank.

Wembanyama (right) played "Shaolin basketball" at the Shaolin Temple with his fellow disciples, and this NBA star has concluded his ten-day training there.

He woke up early every morning to begin a full day of training. This 2.21-meter tall bald "new monk" started his immersive training at the Shaolin Temple on June 8, accompanied only by his physical coach. Not only did he shave his head, but he also rose early each day to train, donned monk robes, and learned Zen meditation and Shaolin kung fu alongside the other monks.

At 4:30 AM at the Songshan Shaolin Temple, Wembanyama has begun a day of morning practice with the monks, enjoying vegetarian meals in the dining hall, casually practicing basketball during breaks, running with his assistant, showcasing his side kicks, and even going down the mountain to beg for food while munching on cucumbers... Netizens captured many moments from his training, with fans joking, "Now Wembanyama is going to become 'Wushu Wembanyama'."

Videos of Wembanyama playing basketball at the Shaolin Temple have gone viral. He has returned to the U.S. after his ten-day training, and a Shaolin disciple shared photos of him playing basketball with others on social media, captioning: "I've always loved basketball. I learned Shaolin kung fu as a child but never had the chance, yet I never gave up my passion. This year, I've been learning basketball every day, and all my efforts have paid off. Meeting Wembanyama, though he is thin, you can feel the strength of his body when you compete against him. I'm very grateful for this experience; thank you to everyone... Looking forward to your return to Shaolin."

Additionally, videos circulating on social media show Wembanyama playing basketball at the Shaolin Temple, where his towering height makes him virtually unbeatable, scoring effortlessly.
