Barely 48 hours after a huge performance against the Hawks (42 points and the victory in overtime), we said to ourselves that Victor Wembanyama might have a little trouble moving forward. Because really, he's just a human being. Yes but no, Victor Wembanyama is not a human being like any other.
Deandre Ayton, Shaedon Sharpe, Anfernee Simons twice, Scoot Henderson, Jerami Grant three times, Donovan Clingan, Deni Avdija.
No one has escaped.
Not a Blazers attacker was able to approach the basket without knowing the unpleasant feeling that he was going to be sent back to his 22.
Victor Wembanyama doesn't have arms, he has tentacles. He doesn't have hands, he has paws. And this night, in addition to many other problems, Chauncey Billups' players encountered a problem of… size.
30 points at 8/16 shooting including 4/8 from the parking lot, 10/11 on shots, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 10 blocks in 30 minutes
Victor Wembanyama LOVES playing the Blazers. The presence on the Blazers side of his former rival Scoot Henderson probably has something to do with it, even if in 2024 the rivalry between the two would be more like a Bayern Munich vs Noisy le Sec rivalry. Indeed, when Wemby breaks record after record, brings his team to a completely honorable record and moves towards a first All-Star selection, Scoot for his part struggles to enter the Top 30 of the best leaders in the League, but let's not shoot the ambulance or consider that enough has been done in the sentence that ends just now.
ALL TEN OF WEMBY’S REJECTIONS ????????
30 points.
10 blocks.
7 rebounds.
4 threes.

This night Victor Wembanyama once again passed a milestone in terms of “ease”, by which we are not saying that what he does is simple, but rather that with him everything seems easy. 42 points on Thursday, 30 points and 10 blocks on Saturday, a very productive week for the Spurs Alien, decidedly determined to end the year on a high, Scoot wheels, obviously.
Victor Wembanyama becomes the 6th player in NBA history to record 30+ points and 10+ blocks in a game, joining:
Hakeem Olajuwon – 5x
David Robinson – 3x
Artis Gilmore – 1x
Dwight Howard – 1x
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar – 1x https://t.co/v9byXJo9xq pic.twitter.com/qcXu6W6CzD
