According to Stathead, when you set the search to <= 30 minutes, Steph has 7 games with 40+.
But the fact that Wemby already has 5 is insane when it's only happened a total of 70 times in nba history.
Wemby DREAM SHAKE-ing like Hakeem 🔥
He used the lessons the NBA legend taught him in their off-court workouts last night, as he recorded his 5th career game of 40+ PTS in under 30 min, tying Steph Curry for the most in NBA history 👽

I continue to believe a biopic needs to be made about his career with Jamie Foxx playing him.

In pursuit of their 9th straight win, the Spurs head into the 4Q with a 93-68 lead.
Wemby has 32 points and 10 rebounds in just 23 minutes for his fifth 30-plus game of the season and 8th double-double.

Victor Wembanyama joins Shaq as the only players in the last 50 seasons to average 29 points, 12 rebounds, and 3 blocks through the first 10 games.
The Suns took a 25-24 lead at the 1:41 mark of the 1st.
It's been Spurs 31-13 in roughly 10 minutes since.
Stats do show how incredible the 3-guard lineup has been.
But I would like to note the Spurs have played the Kings and Jazz twice, the Mavs without Kyrie and Flagg, and Wolves without Ant and Gobert.
The Portland win was easily their best win so far.
The rest of the league is catching on to how great the 3-guard lineup has been so far while Spurs fans are still skeptical lol

How great is this:
TV cameras caught Victor making a point to grab the 🏀 before leaving the floor amid the excitement. Most would assume that it was for his career-high 52-point performance.
But no.
Victor secured it for his head coach, who secured win #100.
That’s a leader.
Spurs scored 32 points while going 0-9 from 3.
Shooting woes preventing them from putting up massive numbers.

⬇️ Stephon Castle and Devin Vassell combine to hit 18 3-pointers in a row.
As the makes continue, you can see each getting more animated. The drill ends after the 18th consecutive shot

Blake Griffin says youth basketball has changed for the worse after paying $140 just to watch his own son play, more than some NBA games
“I was at my son’s basketball tournament this past weekend, and I paid $80 for a wristband to watch my own kid play, and $60 to park for the weekend.”
“That’s on top of everything else.”
“You can see NBA games for that much, sometimes less.”
“And I realized as I was watching my son play, or actually as I was watching parents berate a poor referee, that something has changed from when I was a kid, and I don’t think it’s for the better.”
