A few months after the odious silver medal won at the Olympic Games, Victor Wembanyama had an incredible chance to make up for it in the NBA by screwing up his return to school. To do this, he had to strike hard from the start with his San Antonio Spurs franchise, showing off with a sudden clumsiness. The exact opposite happened with Wemby.

Wemby disgusts the FFL again and again
The San Antonio Spurs left Utah with a convincing victory over the Jazz (106-88). But the real lesson of this meeting comes from Victor Wembanyama. The French giant did not simply “participate” in the success, he took the opportunity to disgust the teammates of Lauri Markkanen, who was unfortunately absent. Indeed, in 33 minutes, Victor scored 25 points, took 9 rebounds, delivered 7 assists, made 5 interceptions and inflicted 5 blocks. A butcher’s shop, we told you.
Wemby was at the oven and the mill, so much so that he made a five-by-fivenamely having five categories with at least five units. A feat for the Frenchman? Not even. Already last February, Wemby had committed this affront against the Lakersthe day after an almost five-by-five against the Kings, missed for only a missing assist. We satisfy ourselves as best we can.

4 3PM@wemby is just the 3rd player to record multiple ‘5 x 5’ games in their career (since steals and blocks were recorded in 1973-74)! pic.twitter.com/5CUmrlnXfe— NBA (@NBA) November 1, 2024
It’s simple, there are only two other players in NBA history to have achieved a five-by-five more than once. Andrei Kirilenko and Hakeem Olajuwon. This is who Wemby stands alongside.
