The 2025 NBA season took an exceptional turn with the kickoff of the NBA Paris Games on January 23. Standing, the NBA’s loyal transportation partner, had the honor of renewing its mission by providing transportation for the basketball players during their stay in Paris. This year, the event takes on a special dimension with the presence of Victor Wembanyama, the new darling of French basketball playing for the San Antonio Spurs. French fans had the chance to see their national prodigy tread the floor of the Accor Arena, not with the jersey of the French team, but with that of the Spurs. During his visit to Paris, Wembanyama shared his enthusiasm with these touching words:
“It’s a huge joy to play in Paris and I don’t want it to be the last time, I want us to be able to do this more often so for that I need you to make as much noise as possible to show that the Spurs can come back in the years to come. And in exchange, I promise to do my best to give you as much happiness and spectacle as possible. Thank you Paris!”
This statement resonates particularly with us at Standing. We would be delighted to continue transporting Victor and his teammates during their future Parisian games, thus perpetuating our commitment to the excellence and comfort that we offer to our prestigious clients. The excitement around this event is palpable throughout the capital. The NBA House at Carreau du Temple offers fans a unique immersive experience[4], while the Accor Arena vibrates to the rhythm of the confrontations between the Spurs and the Pacers. For Standing, participating in such an international event reinforces our position as a leader in eco-responsible luxury transport. We are proud to contribute to the success of these NBA Paris Games 2025 and hope to continue to play a key role in future editions of this prestigious event.
