Meanwhile, another fan mentioned, “This is sick. I think Luka and Jaylen Brown play. They’re on the app.”
Another fan reacted, “Who else is a regular player? I’m guessing at least a couple of Spurs.”
A sports enthusiast remarked on Wembanyama’s chess game, “In all seriousness you should stream it on twitch in your spare time.”
Another fan mentioned, “Props for playing thru the rain , nice work Wemby.”
Victor Wembanyama Climbing Towards The Top 5 In NBA MVP Rankings
Victor Wembanyama is demonstrating exceptional skills in the 2024-25 NBA season. On December 25, he made his Christmas Day debut, scoring 42 points, grabbing 18 rebounds, and recording 4 assists in a 117-114 loss to the New York Knicks.
With this performance, he became only the third player in NBA history to score over 40 points and grab more than 15 rebounds in a Christmas game. Due to his impressive performances, Shaun Powell of NBA.com believes that Wembanyama is beginning to knock on the door of the Top 5 in the Kia NBA MVP Ladder.
“As for the MVP? There’s some stiff competition. For Wemby to become a finalist in his second season would be a tremendous accomplishment. And he’s trending toward grabbing multiple such awards in the future anyway. So it’s an all-Wemby flavor to this week’s Kia MVP Ladder, which could experience a shakeup soon.” Powell wrote in his recent reports.
Beyond showcasing his remarkable talents, Wembanyama recently captured fans’ affection with a heartwarming act directed at a young Spurs supporter. The French star is currently scoring impressive averages of 25.2 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game in the 2024-25 NBA season.
