Victor Wembanyama just reminded the league - and the Milwaukee Bucks - why he’s one of the most electrifying young stars in the NBA.
In a commanding 119-101 win over the Bucks, the 7'4" French phenom put on a two-way clinic that left fans buzzing and opponents shaking their heads. Wembanyama dropped 22 points on an ultra-efficient night, drilling five of his six attempts from beyond the arc and pulling down 10 rebounds. But it wasn’t just the stat line that stood out - it was how he did it.
Late in the game, Wemby pulled off a sequence that felt more like something out of a video game than a real NBA contest: a towering block on one end, followed by a smooth transition triple on the other. When asked about the play postgame, the 22-year-old couldn’t resist having a little fun.
“Did I do it again?” he asked with a grin, referencing the now-routine nature of his highlight-reel moments. When the reporter confirmed, Wembanyama delivered the punchline: “Oops!”
The room erupted in laughter, and just like that, Wemby had gone full Britney Spears - “Oops!... I Did It Again” playing out in real-time, only this time on the hardwood.
"Shooting 3 pointers after a block the first possession after you block a shot..."

But behind the charm and light-hearted banter was a performance that underscored just how dominant Wembanyama has become. After an early injury scare, he returned to the floor and didn’t miss a beat.
His two blocks in the game weren’t just momentum-swingers - they were historic. With those swats, Wembanyama became the fourth-fastest player in NBA history to reach 500 career blocks, doing so in just 143 games.
That kind of elite rim protection, paired with his growing offensive arsenal, is what makes Wembanyama such a rare force. He’s not just altering shots - he’s altering expectations.
And it’s not just the numbers that are turning heads. Opponents are noticing the leap, too.
“He’s definitely a way better player,” said one rival. “Not just from the first year - from the last time we played him.
He’s way better. I believe that as long as he stays healthy, he is the future of this league, and the sky’s the limit.”
That’s not just praise - that’s prophecy.
The Spurs, who many had written off after a rocky season opener against the Thunder, have quietly climbed to second in the Western Conference with 28 wins to their name. And while it’s been a team effort, there’s no question who’s leading the charge.
Victor Wembanyama isn’t just living up to the hype - he’s starting to redefine it.
