Victor Wembanyama wouldn’t let the Spurs’ trash three-point shooting stop his MVP campaign in Utah

Victor Wembanyama carried the San Antonio Spurs to victory over the Utah Jazz, overcoming his team's poor 31.6% three-point shooting on the second night of a back-to-back. The French superstar delivered a dominant performance, finishing with 36 points, 14 rebounds, five assists, three steals, and two blocks in just under 39 minutes of action to extend San Antonio's winning streak to three games.

Wembanyama set the tone early by scoring 21 points in the first half before adding four points in overtime. Air Alamo writer Jahlil Williams argues that despite perimeter struggles from teammates Devin Vassell and Stephon Castle, Wembanyama's exceptional recent form reinforces why he is a legitimate NBA MVP candidate.
