This insane Victor Wembanyama defensive stat proves just how rare a player the young center is

Victor Wembanyama stands tall like a wall in NBA!

While most 21-year-olds in America are busy celebrating reaching the legal drinking age, Victor Wembanyama is celebrating something far more extraordinary; breaking records and making history in nearly every game in NBA.

The youngster is producing a video game stat this season. After beating the likes of Steph Curry, Ray Allen, and James Harden in quickest to 200 three-pointers, Victor Wembanyama has now had a block in 63 straight games, which is a new franchise record.

But that’s not all. A jaw-dropping new stat shows why the French sensation is considered the NBA’s next big thing.

Since stepping into the league, Wemby has shared the court with 439 different players. Incredibly, he has blocked 197 of them at least once – that’s 44.9% of everyone who has dared to share the court with him.

He is currently leading the league with 3.8 blocks per game, and averaging 28.1 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 4.5 assists over the last 15 games.

With the kind of numbers Victor Wembanyama is putting, it’s not a matter of if he will make history, it’s simply a question of how often.
