0:19.2	All right, we have no time to waste here. The man of the hour with the pre-season debut of Victor
0:26.2	Wemba Niyama in the books that is Noah McGarr George of Air Almo, the editor in chief. How
0:33.0	you doing, man? I'm doing great. Victor Wemba Niyama is part of the San Antonio Spurs. I get to
