Houston Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta loves him some Mardi Gras and apparently Victor Wembanyama, too.
Fertitta professed his love for Wembanyama, a French big man and surefire top pick in June’s NBA draft, over the weekend.
Houston radio’s Sean Pendergast caught up with Fertitta during a Mardi Gras celebration to talk hoops and…prayers.
“We gotta thank God we got 10 days off,” a seemingly well-within his cups Feritta said, referencing the NBA’s All-Star break.
The comment made it clear that Fertitta isn’t exactly enjoying the season. Houston is an NBA-worst 13-45.

This is where the dissention lies.
