Wembanyama is the youngest participant in NBA historical past to nab a minimum of 30 factors, six rebounds, six assists, and 7 blocks in a single sport. He did so in eight fewer minutes than any of the opposite gamers to achieve that mark.
Wembanyama additionally made NBA historical past scoring 21 and grabbing 20 rebounds towards the Chicago Bulls. At 19 years and 38 days previous, he broke the mark earlier held by Dwight Howard by 4 days.
As of this writing, he leads the league in blocks per sport. That’s your complete league, not youngsters or rookies. He’s neck and neck with the likes of Brooke Lopez and Anthony Davis in decimating pictures.
That is his first birthday as a member of the San Antonio Spurs. The primary of many. Hopefully so many we might be amazed.
He’ll spend the night time battling the likes of Giannis Antetokounmpo because the Spurs face the Milwaukee Bucks for the second time this season.
Irrespective of the end result (says the Spurs Stan), we must always all want VW a beautiful birthday, with many good needs, and dunks, blocks, three-pointers, and cake…gotta have the cake.
