Three athletes are Paris Saint-Germain fans on the record: Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs, Jimmy Butler of the Golden State Warriors, and the retired Tony Parker. Wembanyama and Butler have each said so on the record. Parker's support was reported by an outlet.
Which athlete is the most famous Paris Saint-Germain fan?
Wembanyama is the player with the clearest and longest-running tie to the club. He was born on January 4, 2004, in Le Chesnay, France, and his career before the Spurs ran through Nanterre 92, ASVEL and Metropolitans 92. Asked about his club allegiance, he told Goal in November 2023, "My team is PSG, of course." That fandom dates back to his childhood.
Butler is the other player who has said it himself. Speaking to Goal in June 2025, he said, "I love PSG, as I'm sure the world knows, so I'm glad that I'm able to be here and support." He was born in Houston, Texas, and his NBA stops were with the Chicago Bulls, Minnesota Timberwolves, Philadelphia 76ers, Miami Heat and Golden State Warriors. His tie to the club is a fan's tie rather than a local one, and he has not been tied to Paris by birth or by any team he played for.
Which athletes grew up Paris Saint-Germain fans?
Wembanyama is the one who describes it as a lifelong allegiance, since childhood, and he was born in France. Parker also grew up in France, and he attended INSEP in Paris. His professional career began with PSG-Racing Basket before he moved to the San Antonio Spurs, with later stops at ASVEL and the Charlotte Hornets. His support for the club, though, has not been described as something he said in his own words. ParisFans reported on May 30, 2025, that he "showed his clear support for PSG." That makes his fandom a reported one, not a confirmed statement from him.

Among athletes, the group is small and split by how well the claim is documented. Wembanyama and Butler are in his own words, confirmed, and both spoke to Goal. Parker is in a separate category because the evidence is an outlet's report, not a quote from him. All three are listed as current fans, and none of them is recorded as having drifted away from the club.
The Spurs connect two of them. Wembanyama is on the team now, and Parker played for San Antonio and has since retired. Butler's career ran through the Chicago Bulls, Minnesota Timberwolves, Philadelphia 76ers, Miami Heat and Golden State Warriors, and none of those teams overlaps with the PSG tie.
Which athletes used to be Paris Saint-Germain fans?
None of the three has a fandom that has ended. Wembanyama, Butler and Parker are all recorded as current supporters of the club, so there is no former fan to name.
