San Antonio: So, did you catch that game? Victor Wembanyama just keeps impressing everyone. It was like watching a dinosaur play basketball! On Friday, he faced off against Nikola Jokić, and wow, what a showdown.
The game was super close, and Wembanyama had the tough job of guarding Jokić, who’s known for his crazy moves. Jokić tried his signature Sombor Shuffle to score, but Wembanyama was right there with him, ready to block the shot. Instead of scoring, Jokić had to pass it out, and Devin Vassell swooped in for an easy lay-up. Talk about a game-changer!
This play was huge for Wembanyama and the Spurs, who improved their record to 18-16. He’s been looking special since day one, but it’s clear he’s leveling up this season. Jokić even said after the game that Wembanyama is one of a kind and will be remembered forever. That’s some serious praise!
Wembanyama is leading the league in blocks and deflections, and his offensive game is getting better too. He shot 14-of-22 for 35 points, grabbed 18 rebounds, and had two blocks. Not too shabby, right?
And get this—he’s only 20! In his first 100 games, he’s outscored legends like LeBron and KD. It’s wild to think about how much more he can grow. The sky’s the limit for this kid!
