Victor Wembanyama's sister Eve goes viral.

It never takes the internet long to do its thing whenever an unknown woman surfaces during a sporting event. Whether it's a big game or the draft, everyone with internet access all of a sudden turns into a CIA agent capable of putting Jack Ryan to shame.

Well, it took absolutely no time at all for Eve Wembanyama to start blowing up on Twitter.

Eve is a great athlete in her own right.

While her brother was the top pick in the NBA Draft, Eve Wembanyama is a standout basketball player in her own right.

The 6'1" basketball player suited up for Monaco Basket Association in France and played in the FIBA U16 Women’s European Championship and FIBA U20 Women’s European Challengers, according to online reports.

She's a hell of a basketball player, and now an internet star.

It's pretty easy to tell when a new star has been born online. Whether it was Katherine Webb way back in the day or Olivia Dunne doing her thing on a regular basis, you can just tell when someone has successfully captured fire.

Judging from the internet's reaction about Eve Wembanyama Thursday night, she's here to stay.

Her brother will try to lead the Spurs back to the top of the mountain and she might be Instagram's next big thing. Life is good for the Wembanyama family.
