At just 22, Victor Wembanyama is already rewriting NBA playoff records

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama, 22, delivered a historic 41-point, 24-rebound performance in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals on Monday, leading the Spurs to a 122-114 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder. His stat line was only the 13th such game in NBA playoff history, placing him in company with legends like Wilt Chamberlain, Hakeem Olajuwon, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The performance came on the same day Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was awarded his second consecutive league MVP trophy, with Wembanyama finishing third in the voting.
