Victor Wembanyama<\/a> is making a stronger case for the MVP award with every passing game. Tonight, he led the San Antonio Spurs<\/a> to a 129-114 win over the Chicago Bulls<\/a> with a 41-point outburst in just 31 minutes of action.<\/p>\n

He finished the game with 41 points, 16 rebounds, four assists, one steal, and three blocks. Wembanyama shot 17-27 from the floor (63.0 FG%) and 3-6 from beyond the arc (50.0 3P%).<\/p>\n

In the process of leading his team to the win, Wembanyama also made NBA history. He recorded a double-double in his first eight minutes of action.<\/p>\n

According to sources<\/a>, Andre Drummond<\/a> previously held the record for his performance with 11 points and 11 rebounds against the Brooklyn Nets<\/a> during the 2022-23 season. He did that in just nine minutes when he played for the Bulls.<\/p>\n

Tonight, Wembanyama surpassed his record and stunned NBA fans across the world. They took to social media<\/a> to express their opinions on the French star\u2019s explosion.<\/p>\n

\u201cA double-double in 8 minutes isn\u2019t production. That\u2019s disruption.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe other team had only one task (stopping Wemby), and they couldn\u2019t figure it out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c8 minutes is genuinely absurd. The dude is operating on a different planet.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMan, we don\u2019t deserve this greatness.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c8 minutes\u2026 \ud83d\ude2d This isn\u2019t basketball, this is a glitch. Victor Wembanyama really out here speedrunning the NBA like it\u2019s 2K .\ud83d\udc80\ud83d\udd25\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDude is going to control the league for a decade.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The Spurs have improved to 57-18, just two games behind the Oklahoma City Thunder with seven games left in the season. While they have guaranteed a finish in the top two seeds of the West, Wembanyama will hope that the Spurs finish in the first seed to make a stronger case for the MVP Award.<\/p>\n

The French star recently went viral for claiming that he has his eyes on the Michael Jordan MVP award<\/a> and feels he has done significantly well to deserve that award.<\/p>\n

Wembanyama has averaged 24.5 points, 11.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 3.1 blocks per game this season while shooting 50.4% from the field and 35.1% from beyond the three-point arc.<\/p>\n

But for him to make the best case for the award, the Spurs need to finish as the first seed in the West. Considering that the Spurs have a 4-1 record against the Thunder, a tiebreaker would result in the Spurs getting the No. 1 seed over the Thunder.<\/p>\n

Therefore, this next stretch of seven games is very important personally for Wembanyama if he hopes to accomplish his goal of crowning an MVP-caliber season with the award while leading his team to their first playoff run since the 2018-19 season.<\/p>\n
