NBA – Victor Wembanyama bluntly on his all-time performance: “I am a…

Victor Wembanyama sous le maillot des Spurs

If San Antonio largely lost to Denver, Victor Wembanyama is one of the rare Texan players to have survived.

The Frenchman did even better than that since he delivered a performance never before seen in history. Informed on the subject by journalists after the meeting, he reacted very honestly.

How to evaluate Victor Wembanyama’s start to the season? For the moment, everything is not going smoothly for the Spurs pivot.

Not yet at the point in terms of chemistry with his teammates, he is also still clumsy in shooting with only 43% success since the restart. However, that doesn’t stop the former Mets from regularly delivering quite astonishing performances.

The latest example was his match against Nikola Jokic’s Nuggets: if the reigning champion largely won and the Serb (36 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists) gave the Frenchman a tough time , the latter still managed to score something never seen before in the history of the league. It was the journalists who informed him of this after the final whistle and the V reacted sharply.

I did not know. I like to bring new things to basketball and I’m happy to already be able to write my name a little in history.

It’s great. I’m a student of the game and the best recognition I can get is to have the chance to push it, to improve it a little, to make it even better.

Wembanyama surprised by his all-time copy against the Nuggets

We have known for a long time that Wemby is not the type to indulge in arrogance.

Surprised by the all-time nature of his performance, he did not focus more than that on the subject.

Not very surprising when we know that San Antonio had just suffered a twelfth consecutive defeat, which puts things into perspective.

However, fans of the Éperons totally validate the mentality of the tricolor nugget:

Is it possible to love him even more?

To hear him say that he is a student of the game is pure joy for so many fans…

This kid is special.

Victor Wembanyama is already doing something never seen before in history and he is delighted about it, but the main thing is elsewhere in his eyes.

If he really wants to leave his mark on the NBA, he will have to dominate on a collective level as well and for the moment, that is hardly the case. We hope for him that Spurs can progress quickly.
