The San Antonio Spurs played their first Christmas game in eight years on Wednesday, which means it was also the first time Victor Wembanyama suited up under the bright lights of December 25. Plus, they also faced the New York Knicks at the iconic Madison Square Garden.
Needless to say, Wemby did not disappoint. The former first-overall pick balled out and showed why he’s truly a generational talent, finishing with 42 points, 18 rebounds, and four assists. He’s the first player since Wilt Chamberlain to post such a stat line on Christmas:

It doesn’t stop there, however. Wembanyama is the first player in NBA history to score 40+ points, grab 15+ boards, and drain 5+ triples. Elite:
