We are officially running out of adjectives to describe San Antonio Spurs superstar Victor Wembanyama. The 22-year-old star keeps finding new ways to one-up himself with performances of an entirely new magnitude.
In a thrilling 112-111 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night, Wemby delivered a staggering performance, with a run of stats so dominant it eclipsed full-season NBA benchmarks. Wembanyama exploded for a career-high 52 points, 24 rebounds, 8 blocks, and two steals, while sinking 18-for-18 free throws to start the game. To put his dominance into perspective, OptaSTATS revealed that no player in NBA history has ever accumulated that specific five-stat combination over an entire 82-game season—let alone in a single game.

He dominated on another level in the victory over the Cooper Flagg- and Kyrie Irving-led Mavericks. To make Wemby's stat line even more incredible, his 52 points came on 57.1% shooting, a mark that was actually brought down a bit by a 1-of-8 mark from three-point range.
