For his 20th birthday which he celebrated on Thursday January 4, Victor Wembanyama could have given himself a nice gift by paying the scalp of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Bucks, but unfortunately, at home, the Spurs lost by 4 points, continuing a new black series. Despite the defeat, the number 1 in the 2023 draft put on a show and seems to be more and more comfortable in the league. On the stats line, Antetokounmpo had to be immense (44 points, 14 rebounds, 7 assists) to prevent the Bucks from another defeat against a gala Wembanyama (27 points, 9 rebounds, 5 blocks, in just 26 minutes)
Beyond the numbers, the Frenchman put on a show in the racket, including an alley-oop with the board to respond to a dunk from the Greak Freak a few seconds earlier. Wembanyama also had the luxury of dribbling behind the back to clear Damian Lillard before dunking with disconcerting ease… The images to discover just below.
