Only Wemby is here doing Wemby things!
san antonio spurs superstar Victor Wenbanyama I had a lot of time off on Wednesday due to team work. 139-130 victory Against the Washington Wizards, he shared why he was the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft and how he led France to a near gold medal at the Olympics.

Wembaneyama was truly phenomenal, scoring a career-high 50 points, making him the youngest center in NBA history and the fourth-youngest player overall to accomplish the feat. Wenby made 18-of-29 shots, but his performance was made even more impressive by going 8-of-16 from the 3-point line.
Ah, but Victor Wenbanyama’s historic night didn’t end there. His threes made him the first center in league history to hit at least five shots from behind the arc in three consecutive games.
A historic night for Wenby.
