8 best Victor Wembanyama plays from unbelievable Game 1 vs. Thunder

If it wasn’t clear before Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals, Victor Wembanyama is the best basketball player on the planet. And perhaps the universe, because some of the things he did against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday night were frankly out of this world.

Wembanyama tallied 41 points, 24 rebounds, three blocks and drained 14 of his 25 shot attempts in a gusty road win. He played 49 minutes in a double-overtime thriller in which speedy guard De’Aaron Fox sat out with an ankle injury.

It was the type of performance that causes you lean forward and really take note, one unlike any you’ve seen before — and likely won’t ever see again — once Wemby eventually calls it a career.

We’ve still got plenty of basketball to go, and you know Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Co. won’t go down without a fight. So before Game 2, let’s take a look back at the best plays from Wembanyama’s unforgettable night.

What a joy for NBA fans this series is shaping up to be. You know we’re seated.
