He scored a career-high 38 points, along with 10 rebounds, to get his second win over Kevin Durant this week.

The 7’4 rookie is putting up elite performances and insane highlights every time he steps on the floor, and his performance is also translating to wins. The Spurs have won three of their first five games, which is very impressive, considering they were the worst team in the Western Conference last season.

If Wembanyama continues his dominance throughout the season, he can make his first All-Star team this year. That will give him an edge over LeBron James, who did not make the All-Star team in his rookie season. Victor will join NBA Hall of Famers, including Michael Jordan, Shaquille O’Neal, and Magic Johnson if he becomes an All-Star this year.
