Victor Wembanyama did something only Wilt Chamberlain has done before

Victor Wembanyama recorded a historic stat line for the San Antonio Spurs against the Dallas Mavericks, tallying 52 points, 24 rebounds, and eight blocks on Wednesday night. The feat marks the first time an NBA player has matched those numbers in a single game since Wilt Chamberlain accomplished it in 1961.

James Dator of SB Nation highlights Wembanyama's defensive poise, noting a refined shot-blocking technique where he waits for shooters to rise before jumping. According to Dator, this timing combined with Wembanyama's exceptional length and wingspan allowed him to cleanly contest releases and secure the majority of his blocks.
