Rob Gray-Imagn Images Wemby is not only easily on pace for the most 5x5 games ever, but he could also surpass the history of the entire league combined. By now, we all know that Victor Wembanya had one heck of a bounce back game against the Utah Jazz last night. One night after scoring a career-low 6 points and looking like he was running on empty in Oklahoma City, Wemby immediately responded to the criticism about his effort and decision making with another historical performance. He started looking for his shot early and often, posting 25 points, 9 rebounds. 7 assists, 5 steals and 5 blocks for the second 5x5 game of his career, joining Hakeem Olajuwon (6) and Andrei Kirilenko (3) as the only players with multiple 5x5 games. Only three players in NBA history to have more than one 5x5 game:Hakeem Olajuwon - 6 (1,238 games)Andrei Kirilenko - 3 (797 games)Victor Wembanyama - 2 (76 games)— Jordan Howenstine (@AirlessJordan) November 1, 2024 Not only that, but he also joins Olajuwon (4) as the only player with multiple 5x5 games that included 25 or more points. Wemby joins Hakeem Olajuwon (4x) as the only players in NBA history to total 25+ PTS, 5+ REB, 5+ AST, 5+ BLK and 5+ STL in multiple games (since steals and blocks were recorded in 1973-74)....he's just a week into his 2nd season. https://t.co/gKV4iEpNx3 pic.twitter.com/gt2DnTq7QS— NBA History (@NBAHistory) November 1, 2024 That’s all well and good, and we’re getting used to Wemby putting him historical stat lines like it’s just another day in the office, but it still begs the question, how far can he really take it? Answer: possibly to the point of an untouchable record. Let’s start with just the sheer volume of 5x5 games. As noted above, it took Olajuwon 1,238 games to record six of them, good for one every 206 games (about 2.5 seasons, not considering the playoffs). For Kirilenko, he average one every 265 games. Meanwhile, Wemby has two in 76 games. Simple math says that’s one every 38 games, or two per season. At this rate, not only will it only take him about two more season to surpass Olajuwon all time, but if he keeps up this pace and has let’s say a 15-year career, he’s on pace for approximately 30 5x5 games. That would be five times more than The Dream, and perhaps more notably, 9 more than the rest of the NBA history combined. Oh, didn’t I mention that? As of today, 23 5x5 games have been achieved since steals and blocks became a recordable stat in 1973 — and two of those already belong to Wemby...in is second season...in 76 games. Yeah, it’s safe to assume he’ll at least break the individual record of six 5x5’s, if not the entire history of league. However, he could also take it even further than that. What about the 6x5? And no, we’re not adding turnovers to the mix, but rather three-pointers. He also joins French teammate Nicolas Batum as the only players to record 5 steals, 5 blocks and three or more made three-pointers in a game. But of course, Wemby is (already) the only player to do it twice, having hit four three-pointers in both his 5x5 games.

Considering Gregg Popovich is encouraging him to keep shooting threes, the right combination will quite possibly occur as he (hopefully) becomes more efficient from outside. Finally, there’s one last elusive stat that hasn’t been achieved since David Robinson in 1994 (although one could argue that Tim Duncan was statistically robbed of it in Game 6 of the 2003 NBA finals): the quadruple-double. Wemby already has had triple doubles with both assists and blocks being the third double, so who’s to say he can’t someday put both of those stats together along with double-digit points and rebounds in a single game? Or heck even steals. If anyone is built to do it in today’s game, it’s Wemby. Of course, both he and fans probably care about recoding more wins before statistical achievements, but the rate at which he is achieving them is still eye-opening. In fact, it might be time for another poll. Which statistical achievement will Wemby hit next?
