A week into the 2025–26 NBA season, Victor Wembanyama has already made history . The San Antonio Spurs phenom became the first player ever to post 100 points and 15 blocks through his first three games, a feat that instantly launched him into early MVP conversations. Standing at 7-foot-4 with guard-like fluidity, Wembanyama continues to look like the most unique player in basketball.

Former Miami Heat veteran Udonis Haslem, who retired after two decades in the league, admitted there’s one matchup he’s relieved he never faced, per BasketballNe
