San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama makes a clear statement about the NBA’s next big thing.

Wembanyama’s December was full of great moments, none more impressive than his second 42-point game of the season, played in front of a national audience on Christmas Day.

On a stage where legends are born, Wembanyama shone with 18 rebounds and four blocks to add to his scoring explosion.

His dominance wasn’t just limited to Christmas, though – earlier this month he recorded a 10-block game, showcasing the defensive skills that have made him a force to be reckoned with on both ends of the floor.

If he maintains this momentum in January, his breakout season will officially be in full swing. A serious shot at NBA MVP honors isn’t just a possibility – it’s becoming a reality.

Nevertheless, it remains a big challenge for Wembanyama to win or even reach the final in his second season.

With competition from established stars like Nikola Jokić, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Luka Dončić, reaching a finalist spot would be an incredible achievement.

However, there is no question as to whether his development will continue If But When He will claim such accolades.

What does Wembanyama’s unique record mean in context?
