Victor wanyama you know the French guy with the funny name who looks and plays like he's from another planet not since LeBron James 20 years ago has an NBA rookie entered the association with as much hype as wemi but not only does he meet those Skyhigh expectations he eviscerates them turning in record-breaking performances on pretty much a nightly basis hey I'm Dan from nonstop and with W Bama's rookie season now officially behind us we have to Deep dive into all the record-breaking performance es the 7 fo4 teenage Phenom cooked up during the 2023 24 season
what kind of records are we talking how about first player in NBA history with 1,500 plus points 250 plus blocks and 100 plus threp pointers in a season another one second player in NBA history with back-to-back five steel five block games only other dude to ever do that Michael Jordan and another one and he's the first player to average at least 20 points 10 rebounds and three blocks in a season since Shaq in 2000 the same year he won League MVP you're cool man don't wor now the Spurs rookie launches his attack on the NBA
record book from the jump breaking records in his very first NBA game and doing it by pretty much just showing up to the arena let me explain with all the anticipation all the Intrigue surrounding him the world was invested in seeing when Bama's NBA debut how would he play how would he match up with the game's best would his spin PQ like legs make it through one half of NBA basketball without snapping in half well a ton of people tune in to find out making wy's debut against Dallas the NBA's most watched opening night game
in over a decade chance for San Antonio Wy the Deep catch the turn and the P the foul over 3 million people tune in to watch the 19-year-old go to work against one of the best players on the globe and a guy who doesn't believe in Globes I'm actually a smartass individual whatever you say pal when Bama dropped 15 most of those points coming in the second half which is interesting because the Jersey he wears in the second half is sold at auction for hang on $762,000 making it the most expensive debut jersey sold in
NBA history but 6 days after his debut fans are talking less about wy's on the court threads and more about his game night arrival fit showing up to Phoenix dressed as Slender Man before taking on the actual Slender Man Kevin Durant and maybe this gets in Katie's head because he looked all out of sorts with wanyama blowing right past him to the rim off goes right by to and show Reggie Miller's reaction to go right by [Applause] dur with the left hand but it's the second night of the Spurs back toback in Phoenix where big
Vic puts the league on notice dropping 38 points in only his fifth NBA game making him him just the third teenager in NBA history to score 38 in a game joining an Elite Squad that includes LeBron James and the fellow he just hung the 38 on Kevin Durant who had this to say about wemi you could tell we both skinny thanks Kevin so 38 for 19-year-old wemi and just to compare how quickly each of the three stars reached their first 38 it takes Durant 80 games to get there LeBron 44 games while wanyama off gets
to 38 in just his fifth NBA game but this isn't the only 30 night for wemi he does it 10 more times and that's with Coach papovich limiting the Spurs big man to just around 30 minutes per game so think about it without those restrictions wemi may have doubled or even tripled his number of 30o games instead we get 11 of them the second coming against LeBron's Lakers featuring the first ever match up between wemi and fellow number one draft pick Anthony Davis now both Superstars show out for this one but what you have to
love is the young Rook basically hit for the cycle as far as embarrassing things veteran players don't like seeing happen to them by a rookie what am I talking about I'm talking about Wy beating ad on the opening tip drilling multiable rainbow 3es over the six-time allstar Wy again C again swatting ad with a block Davis blocked by Victor and even dunking on the 610 Laker but still here's Davis talking up Wy after the game you know obviously there's a lot of pressure on him number one pick but he can play he showed up tonight
two big threes some good Blocks he's one of them ones you know generational Talent wiimin yama's 30-point performance comes in the midst of a 18 game losing streak which comes to an end the very next game against those same Lakers but watch LeBron welcome the young fellow with this ice cool stare down from the corner pocket first meeting between James and W Bama one for the generations uh yeah it was very high arcing shot yeah it was but look at wemi he knows it's going in and heads back down the floor way before the splash
game recognized game you have to love it I'm sorry what was that you want more 30o record-breaking games from wemi I got you wanyama in Portland becomes the first player in NBA history to put up 30 points and seven blocks in 30 minutes or less it's never been done before and may never happen again and Victor going up to get it and puts the exclamation point on this one tonight okay we talked 30-point games from Wy but now let's talk 2020 no not the weekly true crime series on ABC that Draymond Green will be on
after attempting his next on the court murder spree no we're talking 2020 as in 20 points 20 rebounds in a single game which wemi delivers against Chicago becoming the youngest player in NBA history to register a 2020 game Victor's got a 2020 game youngest player in NBA history we being told beating Dwight Howard by Just 4 days but this isn't the only Dwight Howard record to fall courtesy of wanyama a week later wmy breaks Dwight's NBA record for most consecutive double double games by rookie so yeah not a great stretch for Howard but he did
send us a clip with his thoughts on wemy let's uh can we yep yep yep let's roll it mm whatever I'm doing in my bedroom is my damn business I don't got to tell nobody where I put my wood at I'm I'm sorry that was the wrong clip uh I apologize but uh anyway Wendy's double double Street kicks off in Denver where the air is thin but their star Hoops player is not I see what you did there and one Wy hits a gnarly alley got Victor UPS over Reggie Jackson the basketball player not the
Hall of Fame Yankee but speaking of Yankees baseball did you see the photo of wemi holding a baseball at Yankee Stadium look at this it's like dudes holding a golf ball anyway Victor's double double run continues against Atlanta Minnesota Chicago and Houston to make it five straight double double games F forward to New Orleans where 17 points and 133 boards earn wanyama the all-time rookie record with eight consecutive double double games but enough double double talk okay time to level up to the triple double against Detroit big Vic turns in a rare triple double without
a single turnover youngest player in NBA history to ever do it but forget age forget the no turnover part wemy records his 16.2 rebound 10 assist night in just 21 minutes on the floor making it the second fastest time to a triple double in NBA history behind only future Hall of Famer Russell Westbrook who who had this to say about vdub I got a bright future man obviously he's one of a type of player and uh he's going to keep getting better each and every year again now wy's second triple double is equally special with
Wy becoming the youngest player in NBA history to record a triple double with blocks no Twice rejected by W minyama with six minutes left in the game the Spurs rookie blocks Toronto's Grady dick yes that's his real name to make it 10 blocks in the game right there a triple double and blocks toava grd dick by the way perhaps best known for his unique Jersey exchange with Orlando's Anthony black rookies Anthony black and Grady dick exchanging jerseys no no no no but with the block on Dick wemi secures his first career 10 block game and
delivers the NBA's first triple double with blocks in over 3 years what what's that you'd like one more record for the road okay here we go Victor wiama youngest player in NBA history to drop an F bomb on live TV during the all star break just just go ahead roll it sometimes like I remember maybe 2 3 months into the season we were in film in front everybody and he goes like yeah what the is this welcome to cable TV oh we're good [Music]
