“In an extraordinary display during last night’s triple-double, Victor Wembanyama made NBA history by recording his 75th 3-pointer, 150th assist, and 150th block of the season.
This unprecedented feat marks him as the first player in NBA history to achieve 75 3-pointers, 150 assists, and 150 blocks in a single season.
From Toronto to Dallas, Wembanyama, affectionately known as Wemby, has not only set records for rookies but has also made a significant impact on the league.
While the final game before the All-Star break didn’t unfold as planned for the Spurs, with a challenging outing in Dallas, the week as a whole has been nothing short of extraordinary for rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama.
His remarkable performances have included jaw-dropping plays, remarkable stat lines, and the rewriting of NBA records.
The pinnacle of this remarkable run was his historic triple-double in Toronto, where he showcased an exceptional display of skills, contributing 27 points, 15 rebounds, 10 blocks, and 5 assists.
The significance of this achievement extends beyond the game, as Wemby entered elite company by surpassing milestones that even seasoned players find challenging.
Going beyond the triple-double, additional statistical milestones reveal Wembanyama’s trajectory towards surpassing historic rookie performances.
Pau Gasol, the last rookie to record 150 assists and 150 blocks in a season, achieved 152 assists and 153 blocks in total. Wemby reached these impressive numbers in just 48 games, a pace surpassed only by Robinson.
Wemby’s accomplishments also extend to breaking records for all NBA players, not just rookies.
He became the first player to achieve a triple-double with blocks and multiple three-pointers in a single game, shooting 2-4 against the Raptors.
Despite facing complaints about his minutes restrictions, the blowout win enabled him to become the first player to record 10 blocks and 5 assists in under 30 minutes of play.
Additionally, he stands alone as the first player to achieve 75 threes, 150 assists, and 150 blocks in a single season, accomplishing this remarkable feat in just 48 games. The sheer magnitude of Wembanyama’s achievements in such a short span is nothing short of extraordinary.”
