The alien Wembanyama puts himself on par with Abdul-Jabbar, Larry Bird, LeBron and Doncic

I was late Victor Wembanyama in signing a colossal performance of those that he accustomed us to in his rookie year and that They reaffirm him as the future dominator of the NBA in the coming yearsand this arrived in the Spurs victory against the Kings (116-96). The giant showed at 20 years old that with his 2.24 m height he is more than just a center, and that He dominates almost every facet of the game… even the perimeter shotdespite its enormous size.

The French prodigy’s statistical record was dazzling, with 34 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks in 34 minutes who was on the court. But among their numbers they stood out its 7/10 in t2 and especially its 6/12 t3, equaling his personal record of triples that he had achieved on Saturday in the defeat against the Jazz (111-110).

The giant finds his wrist shot

Finally he seems to have found the wrist blow after hitting 10/41 t3 in the previous five games, before making 12/21 t3 in the last two. He never lost confidence in his shot: “I think I’ve shot better threes. Of course I feel better. I’m 20 years old. I hope that over a few years I will feel better and better. There are no reasons for me to feel worse,” he said after the game.

I’ve shot better three-pointers. Of course I feel better. I’m 20 years old. I hope that over a few years I will feel better and better. There is no reason for me to feel worse

Victor Wembanyama (Spurs Player)

It was his fifteenth game with at least 30 points and his seventh game with at least 30 points, 10 rebounds and five assists. Only LeBron James and Luka Doncic They had signed more games in the history of the NBA with that statistical line before turning 21.

Another record of precocity

Furthermore, the French giant became the sixth player in league history to accumulate more than 1,700 points, more than 800 rebounds and 300 or more assists in his first 82 games. Before him, only a select group had achieved it, including legends of the caliber of Oscar Robertson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Sidney Wicks, Larry Bird and Blake Griffin. Bigger words.

His team’s trust in him is unlimited. “He scores every day”said the Spurs interim coach, Mitch Johnson. “He missed some really good shots at the beginning of the year and I understand why it’s a topic of discussion. But nor I don’t think we ever doubted that he didn’t score shots. I think the percentages are just leveling out at this point.“. An opinion that was endorsed by his colleague Harrison Barnes: “Wemby is a great shooter,” he said.

Chris Paul, his best partner

The Frenchman was supported this time by the great work of his team. The veteran Chris Paul (12+6+11+2 steals) was his best partner, but the starters also contributed to the victory Julian Champagne (13+6), Harrison Barness (10+5+2) and Stephen Castle (10+4+6). As well as the substitutes Devin Vassell (12+4) and Keldon Johnson (11+3).

From the Kings one more day Domantas Sabonis was the best (23+12+4+2 steals)seconded by De’Aaron Fox (24+6+3) and DeMar DeRozan (21+8+6). But they missed more contribution from their bench, author only of 21 of his 96 pointswhile the Spurs player added 37 points.
