The Wemby mania is in full swing!
In just his fifth NBA appearance, Victor Wembanyama has already achieved a remarkable 30-point double-double. During the San Antonio Spurs’ consecutive victory over the Phoenix Suns at the Footprint Center, the young center posted an astounding 38 points and secured 10 rebounds while shooting an impressive 58 percent from the field and a remarkable 50 percent from beyond the three-point line.

NBA enthusiasts and the media were quick to share their reactions on social media. Even more notably, his sister, Eve, also chimed in on her brother’s impressive early-season success.
In essence, the seven-foot powerhouse appeared unstoppable, contributing significantly to the Spurs’ third win of the young season.
Wembanyama, who was the top overall pick for the Spurs in the 2023 NBA Draft, has garnered more hype than any draft prospect since LeBron James entered the league two decades ago. ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, a longtime LeBron James reporter, even commented that Wembanyama displays greater skill as a rookie compared to James at the start of his career. Considering that LeBron is widely regarded as one of the greatest players ever, this speaks volumes about Wembanyama’s potential.
Devin Booker, the Suns’ guard, also acknowledged the rookie’s exceptional talent after the game, stating, “He’s an unbelievable talent. Everybody knows that. We’re just trying to figure out what he’s all about, because we’ve never seen anyone quite like him before.”
With Wemby already living up to the lofty expectations, it’s safe to anticipate more remarkable feats as his career continues to soar.
