Wemby has more 40-point games in just over 150 games than Big Fundamental had over his 19 year career. Victor Wembanyama now has more 40-point games than Tim Duncan.Most 40+ point games in Spurs history:1. George Gervin – 672. David Robinson – 223. Mike Mitchell – 104. Victor Wembanyama – 64. Manu Ginobili – 66. Tim Duncan – 56. LaMarcus Aldridge – 5— Jordan Howenstine (@AirlessJordan) February 11, 2026 The sky is the limit with Victor Wembnyama. And with a supporting cast consisting of the reigning Western Conference Player of the Week Stephon Castle (see 40-point triple-double) as well as NBA 6th Man hopeful Keldon Johnson, and the inaugural NBA Clutch Player of the Year De’Aaron Fox, the Spurs are having quite a season. Brian Windhorst said it best, “We don’t put ceilings on Victor Wembanyama. If you say to me ‘Can Victor Wembanyama do X?’ my answer almost always is going to be ‘yes.’” Go Wemby Go!
