Wemby is a must-see on television or in action, as he’s been on a tear.
SAN ANTONIO — Fans cannot get enough of watching San Antonio Spurs‘ Victor Wembanyama in action; the statistics support this.
The NBA released rankings of its most-viewed players, and to no one’s surprise, Wemby made the list.
The Spurs’ big man lands at the No. 3 spot (402 million) in the NBA’s most-viewed players list, just behind Ja Morant and LeBron James.
Wemby is a must-see on television or in action, as he’s been on a tear.
He was recently named the first-time NBA Player of the Week for the week ending on Dec. 22, 2024.
During that time, he led the Spurs to a 2-0 record, averaging 36 points, seven blocks, 6.5 rebounds, and 4.5 assists. His shooting was stellar: He shot 21-40 (.525%) from the field, 11-23 (.478%) from behind the arc, and 20-24 (.833%) from the free-throw line.
