Wembanyama Delivers "Video Game Numbers" in Dominant Start to 2025-26 Season

San Antonio, TX – Victor Wembanyama has once again captivated the NBA world, producing a highlight reel of extraordinary plays within just the first week of the 2025-26 season. The young phenom's dominant performance has led to widespread awe, with social media user Deva Hazarika tweeting, "> Can’t believe Wemby’s highlight reel is from a week of basketball," reflecting the sentiment of many as he showcases an elevated game.

The San Antonio Spurs are off to an undefeated start, with Wembanyama as the undeniable driving force. Through his first four games, the 21-year-old is reportedly averaging "video game numbers" of 31.0 points, 13.8 rebounds, and 4.8 blocks, all while shooting 60% from the field. He made history by becoming the first player in NBA history to record over 100 points, 30 rebounds, and 10 blocks in the first three games of a season.

Analysts are already placing Wembanyama at the forefront of award conversations, with former NBA champion Draymond Green stating on "The Draymond Green Show," "If he stays at this pace, at this level now, he’s gonna be like MVP, DPOY, and Most Improved… he’s gonna be in a position to compete for all those awards." The Ringer also declared, "The Victor Wembanyama era is here," noting his "unreasonably dominant showing" and suggesting he might fast-track to the "best player alive" title.

Wembanyama's improved play from his rookie season is evident in his refined shot profile, increased strength, and enhanced physicality. His defensive impact remains profound, with opponents shooting just 29.7% when guarded by him, and the Spurs boasting a top-five offense and defense early in the season. This exceptional start comes after he overcame a deep vein thrombosis diagnosis in his right shoulder during the 2024-25 season, which sidelined him for its remainder, demonstrating his resilience and dedication.

The Spurs, now 4-0, are showing significant progress towards their goal of returning to the playoffs. Wembanyama himself expressed confidence earlier this year, stating, "Success would be getting into the playoffs and not the play-in. So I guess that means sixth seed." With his current trajectory and the team's strong start, the basketball world is keenly watching to see just how high Wembanyama can elevate the San Antonio franchise.
