The NBA has plenty of really good players, but then there are a chosen few who live above mere mortals; and yes, that list includes Victor Wembanyama, who against the Dallas Mavericks produced the best game of his career to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The French centre finished the game with 52 points, 24 rebounds and 8 blocks, an absolutely outrageous line that helped the San Antonio Spurs<\/a> beat their Texas neighbours 112-111.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With such a display of superiority, ‘Wemby’ became the first player to post a stat line of at least 50 points, 20 rebounds and 5 blocks since Bon McAdoo did so in 1974. And who is the other player to have done it? Wilt Chamberlain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just looking at the names, it’s clear that Wembanyama moves among the elite of the elite and that what he did last night is impossible for the vast majority, but not for a true chosen one who plays as if it were the easiest thing in the world. Enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
