I don't think they realize just how rare a 5x5 is, there has been over 131,000 NBA games in history and there's only ever been 22 5x5 games. Wemby nearly had 2 in a row on back to back nights but was 1 assist shy cause his teammates are bad at scoring lol

[@Ebriel0000000]

Yes indeed. And he did that on the road against AD and LeBron. Kinda "oh i missed it by a few tonight, no matter i will do it tomorrow". Give Wemby a real team to play BB.

[@TheRealest365]

He had 5 steals 5 blocks two games in a row what do u mean

[@Sunking210]

@@TheRealest365 5x5 is 5 in pts, reb, ast, stl, and blocks. He did have 5 blocks and 5 steals, twice in a row but he only had 4 assists in the first night so he didn't register the 5x5 on that night

[@ilcapitano010]

Let’s be honest here: If Victor reaches his potential (barring injury) he’ll go down as the best player to ever play this game. If he gets the team accolades also then he’ll be the undisputed goat. That’s just how much potential this man has…

[@LordoftheTHOTs]

Maybe. If you look at wilts #s technically he should be the greatest ever , but basketball isn’t just about stats. You have to WIN. That will separate wemby from the other greats.

[@ramonpunsalang3397]

LaMarcus Aldridge thinks Wemby should focus on developing a "go to" shot then a counter move to defeat what the defense throws up in response. At this point, we still have to see his signature move.

[@Najdorf_]

Timmy needs to teach him some low post lesson, he'll be unstoppable with his length

[@Ebriel0000000]

His signature move is the "from the parking" dunk.

Over 131,350 NBA games have been played, and there have only been 22 5x5 games. Wemby just turned 20 years old, and he was 1 assist away from having back-to-back 5x5. The greatest rookie of all time

[@antwanthorogood4921]

To make it even more rare using numbers, with your games played number, that means over 1,313,500 players have played in those games and out of all those opportunities, it’s only happened for 22 of them
