Victor Wembanyama, the San Antonio Spurs' rookie, is creating a sensation in the NBA. In his fifth game, he scored 38 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, and blocked 2 shots in a win against the Phoenix Suns. This performance tied him with David Robinson for the third-most points by a rookie in Spurs history. His 38 points also made him the first player since Shaquille O'Neal in 1992 to score 100 points and block 10 shots in his first five career games. He joined LeBron James and Kevin Durant as the only teenagers in NBA history to achieve 35+ points, 10+ rebounds, and 2+ blocks in a game. He also joined Tim Duncan and David Robinson as the only Spurs rookies to have a 35+point double-double. Wembanyama's dominant night has been described as his 'coming out party' and he continues to be completely ridiculous in his performance. He even pulled off a stunning between-the-legs dunk during warmups and was named the best NBA player of the night. Wembanyama and the Spurs set the Suns down again, marking a remarkable performance.
