Last night in Memphis Victor Wembanyama tallied seven more blocks. That is his most blocks in game this season since tallying 9 in their October 24th overtime win against the New Orleans Pelicans, the second game of their season.
With a grand total of 610 blocks, Wemby elevates to 230th all-time moving past Jamaal Magloire, Armen Gilliam, and Nic Claxton.*
*At the time of this writing Nic Claxton is playing against the Golden State Warriors and has one block. A second block ties him with Victor and obviously
anything beyond that causes a leapfrog between the two.
Two nights prior in Miami, Wemby recorded his fourth game this season with 25 points, 15 rebounds, and 5 blocks. That’s the most by any player in a single season since Tim Duncan had five in 2001-02.
But Victor isn’t limited only to comparisons to Tim Duncan. Miami is also where Wemby landed on his 4000th career point and 600th career block in the early moments of the second quarter. Those milestone elicited another Spurs legend.
Only David Robinson and Victor Wembanyama have scored 4000 points and accumulated 600 blocks in their first 175 games.
Throughout this stat-stacking run of games, Wemby has been making a case for his MVP campaign. He’s not shy about demanding what he feels is rightfully his, and the MVP is one of the them.
Spurs have a couple of days off before wrapping up this road stint in Milwaukee on Saturday afternoon.
