Dans une interview accordée au Parisien, Jospin a partagé son admiration pour Victor Wembanyama : « Wembanyama, je l’ai découvert à Nanterre quand il avait 17 ans (en 2021) et je l’ai suivi à Villeurbanne à 18 ans et à Levallois à 19 ans avant qu’il ne parte en NBA (en 2023). Je le suis, je le regarde parfois même la nuit en NBA. »
