The victory against the Spurs Nuggets was also Victor Wembanyama’s first big step in the NBA, career-wise: his 100th game in the league. A milestone which allows you to compare your statistics with other great players in the league at the same time, and be careful… you have to wet your neck!
After 100 games played in the NBA, Victor Wembanyama has not lost a bit of hype. Crazy measurements, exceptional gestures, incredible performances. A player who makes you extremely proud to be French every time he steps on the floor. In 100 matches, it is clear that he has not “missed” many games in terms of play. Few times, we said to ourselves “Wemby missed out”.
Perhaps a little more at the start of the season, where it appeared that our tricolor Alien seemed a bit tired, probably because of the busy summer. The cruising speed was quickly resumed, and the statistics for his month of December are quite simply the best of his NBA career. Now, is this enough to be on the basis of the greatest in history in the major digital categories? Yes, and not just a little.
Points : 2278
That’s more than LeBron James, than Kevin Durant, than Kobe Bryant, than Dirk Nowitzki over the same number of games. However, it is less than LeBron until his 21st birthday (which Victor is celebrating today, happy birthday) but it is logical, because James was drafted after high school.
3-pointers scored: 225
That’s more than Stephen Curry, than Ray Allen, than James Harden, than Klay Thompson over the same number of games. Basically, that’s more than each member of the current top 4 best 3-point shooters in NBA history. The sick thing.
Rebounds: 1053
That’s more than Anthony Davis, than Karl Malone, than Nikola Jokic, than Kevin Garnett over the same number of games. Shaquille O’Neal is one of the few who can easily resist Victor in terms of hoop cleaning.
Against: 366
This is more than Hakeem Olajuwon, than Dikembe Mutombo, than Dwight Howard, than Shaquille O’Neal in the same number of matches. After 100 career matches, only two players are doing better: Spurs legend David Robinson and Manute Bol. Wemby is therefore not the best rebounder in his franchise after 100 games, the statistic is nasty.
Interceptions : 117
That’s more than Draymond Green, than Scottie Pippen, than Jrue Holiday, than Tony Allen over the same number of games. For a 224 centimeter guy, let’s not forget.
