Victor Wembanyama claims: I am capable of scoring 100 points in an NBA game

Victor Wembanyama was asked by French content creator "Rokiks" if he could break Wilt Chamberlain's record and score 100 points or more in an NBA game, and he replied unequivocally: "Yes".

It should be noted that currently, Wembanyama's personal record stands at 50 points - he achieved it in November 2024, in San Antonio's 139:130 win over Washington, with 18 of 29 from the field, 8 of 16 from beyond the arc, and 6 of 9 from the free-throw line in 32 minutes of play.

The phenomenal center has scored 40 points or more 10 times throughout his career, but the Spurs tend to manage his playing minutes - last season he played 29.2 minutes per night, and San Antonio is not considered a team that prioritizes individual statistical achievements over team success.
