An exciting conversation popped up during the HalfTime show of the San Antonio Spurs vs. Golden State Warriors game on April 1, 2026, where a noted journalist named the player who he thought should win the DPOY, MVP, and Most Improved honors this year.
Victor Wembanyama, the San Antonio Spurs’ rising star, is not just dominating on the court; he’s also making waves off of it with his bold statements. Just last month, he confidently laid out three compelling reasons for his MVP candidacy, sparking a lively debate throughout the league.
Victor Wembanyama is on one. He dropped 41 points for the second straight game, adding 18 rebounds and three blocks as the Spurs beat the Warriors, 127-113.
Heroes run the NBA, but every story also needs a villain. For some franchises, it's a particularly hated opponent, but every now and then, it's one of their own.
If I wanted to make this post as short as possible, I would simply direct you to my last article covering the Spurs’ win over Chicago, as superficially these two games have some striking similarities.
Steve Kerr believes Victor Wembanyama has taken a major step forward, saying the 22-year-old no longer looks like a young player on the court. The San Antonio Spurs star continues to evolve rapidly, turning potential into consistent dominance.
Coming off a season-high 41-point game, Wemby picked up right where he left off with an identical scoring line in a blowout victory over Golden State on Wednesday night.
Victor Wembanyama matched his season-high with 41 points and had a game-high 18 rebounds in a record-setting performance, propelling the San Antonio Spurs to a 127-113 romp over the short-handed Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night in San Francisco.
Basketball has changed so, so much since it was first played in the late 1800s. The NBA has a lot to do with this, and there are even a handful of players who can be credited with influencing significant shifts on their own.

The Warriors were missing nine players and had to play a patchwork lineup of mostly undrafted players. They played with a lot of effort in a rough and tumble game and the Spurs didn’t play their cleanest game, but the talent difference was too much for the undermanned Golden State squad.
Victor Wembanyama is quite the sight to behold. Standing at 7’4”, the Frenchman is one of the most imposing figures to ever set foot on an NBA court, and has hit the ground running in his NBA career.
