Victor Wembanyama might be the biggest nerd on the planet — literally — ’cause the 7-foot-4 NBA superstar was just spotted shopping for Pokémon cards and Manga books at a San Antonio store!
TMZ Sports has learned … the Spurs center visited Heroes & Fantasies — a collectibles shop some 20 minutes away from the Frost Bank Center — on Tuesday night in search of adding to his personal collection.

The store’s vice president, Adam Conley, says Wemby arrived just before close … and was “super friendly” as he looked at everything from Pokémon to Magic: The Gathering.
Conley says after browsing the selection … the 20-year-old ultimately walked out with some Manga.
This isn’t the first time Wemby has been spotted enjoying the sights and sounds of his new hometown … the Frenchman recently made an appearance at the French restaurant Bistr09. He was also seen hitting up the International School of San Antonio to surprise the kids — things Conley says haven’t gone unnoticed amongst the locals.
“Wemby getting to know the city and embracing local businesses is awesome,” he said.

Now, he’s enjoyin’ the offseason … plus some Manga books.
