There are a lot of early signs that Victor Wembanyama is very much for real.
That was the baseline, not the ceiling.
Enter Year 2 and it’s been more of the same, only better.
It took 100 games for that to happen.
Not only that, the Spurs are starting to win.
This time it was Nikola Jokic, maybe you’ve heard of him.
Only one of the greatest players to ever exist.
They never got down after any sort of Nuggets mini-run and instead responded with late-game execution.
That’s what it’s all about when you’re on the road looking for the upset.
And for our viewing pleasure, with the game on the line it was Wemby vs Jokic.
Future MVP vs the reigning MVP for all the marbles.
He was going to block the Sombor Shuffle!
Nobody ever blocks the Sombor Shuffle!
It made for a cool highlight and the Spurs got the win so no harm no foul.
Instead, let’s get back to focusing on what Wemby pulled off
Look at that reaction!
That’s what I mean when I say there are moments where Wemby shows us he’s for real.
This is one of them.
This is only Year 2!!
All of a sudden, Wemby seems ready for the moment.
