Wemby shatters record books with another historic performance

Victor Wembanyama just had another MVP-esque night, and he put heads to bed like the Sandman. The French superstar made sure to put an end to the six-game winning streak the Bulls had over the Silver and Black, and it was one of those all-timers Spurs Nation has grown accustomed to seeing from the Alien.

If you ask me, it wasn't just about the numbers—although the numbers were spectacular—it was about how and when the bulk of them came. Chicago was giving it to San Antonio, and they were on the verge of extending their dominance over the Alamo City boys to seven games. Instead, Wemby said no and imposed his will in the fourth quarter with extreme prejudice.

Wembanyama is showing clutch ability Spurs fans needed to see

It was going to be all downhill for the Bulls once they decided to defend Wemby one-on-one, even when that defender was Nikola Vucevic. At the beginning of the game, the Slenderman found himself in an ISO situation against Chicago's starting center. Still, there's only one problem with that: Vooch isn't a very good defensive player, so Vic scored easily.

In that very moment, I looked at my brother and said, "If they're not going to double-team him, he's going to score 35 points." The Alien finished the game with 38 points, 12 rebounds, five assists, five blocks, and he hit six threes. He was virtually unstoppable, as he scored with a ridiculous efficiency of 58% FG, 67% 3PT, and he shot 100% from the foul line on 10/10 attempts.

If your best friend created a player like this in NBA2K, you might curse his name and scold him for giving himself an unrealistic advantage. That's exactly what Vic is. An unrealistic advantage, except for the unfortunate reality for opponents that they have to figure out a way to deal with something that we've never seen before.

He scored 18 of his 38 points in the fourth quarter. He's hit big shots and come up with clutch defensive plays more than a handful of times in his young career already, but this was something different. Chicago embarrassed the Spurs the last two times these two teams played, and Vic was determined to get his payback.

What do you do when you’re up against an archetype no one’s ever seen before—one so intelligent he processes the game like a supercomputer, adjusting to every coverage thrown his way? You lose. That's what you do. That's what the Bulls did. It wasn't their fault. It was Wemby's will. There's no shame in that.
