Victor Wembanyama's Historic 52-Point, 24-Rebound Night

Let's bounce the basketball over and get to the NBA here. Hey man, Wembanyama last night, 52-24. J.Y., this is Wilt Chamberlain numbers. This is like Jabbar numbers back in the day. I mean, incredible numbers. Right now, the leading candidate to be the most valuable player this year, but talk about that historic night last night. I mean, listen, for somebody, if you were an audience that's a little young, when you say, you know, Jabbar and Chamberlain, they're like, who is that? So I'll give it to you in a way for you young kids. That was NBA 2K number. When you put the game on the easiest mode and you make every shot, you get every rebound, that was Wembanyama last night. And what else can you say about, you know, what he's done? Listen, you know, it was the first time in his career when he lost in the finals. I think people were kind of questioning him. Not his greatness, but maybe his maturity. So what do you do to silence the critics? You put up huge, huge stats, and that's what he does. And you look at him, and listen, forget about Utah, because Utah, they don't have, you know, Nurkic. They don't have Triple J. They are struggling. But you still got to put it on tape. And he is playing like a man possessed. I thought going into this year that he was the best player in the world and right now the way he's playing, he's playing like Big Seals and he's the best player in the world. I'm going to make a comparison to him to a little bit more maybe a modern people where they'll know who this guy is. Is he a bigger Olajuwon with the skill set that he has? If you remember back in the day, man, Akeem, big-time boards, big-time shots, big-time at the free throw, blocked shots were one of the fortes for Olajuwon. Is he in that category when it comes to skill set and talent? Yeah, I mean, that's a good comparison, but I'll give you one better. I would take Olajuwon. And Durant, and put them together. Wow. Because he's a bigger Durant, right? If you think about his height, his ability to shoot the ball from three, his one-dribble pull-up, the way he can see over the defense, right? But then he's bigger and a little bit more, not bigger, he's taller than Olajuwon, a little bit more agile. So if you kind of put Durant and Olajuwon together, and that's like, you want to talk about like aliens, unicorns, whatever you want to say, Halley's Comet, whatever. We haven't seen this before. I don't know if we'll see this again, but the key with this kid is continue to improve, continue to mature, and for the NBA's sake, just stay healthy because we have something that is not even generational because we've never seen it before in basketball.
