Nikola Jokić was asked if he said anything to Victor Wembanyama after dunking on him.
He said he told Wemby: "If you block one more shot, I'm gonna…"
"But he blocked like four after that, so I didn't do anything about it." pic.twitter.com/dVqQ3W4lww

Michael Malone called Wemby "the future of the NBA." Says we are watching the ascension of the league's next great player.

They should let Wemby play in the playoffs. Maybe every team gets one game with him. Can use it at any time but once you use it you lose it.

Wemby might actually get a quadruple double sooner than later

The fact that this Spurs lineup has been in close games with great teams over the past month is a good sign!
San Antonio is building something…

The question isn’t if Wemby will get a quadruple double, it’s when.
The answer, I’m guessing, is by the end of his second season.

Some of these Wemby games are just unbelievable – I’m starting to think I’m dead and this isn’t real.

Jokic emptied the clip against Wemby that’s how you know when a player is gonna be special

Nice win but no triple double!! The good news is the MVP race is officially over. Jokic just locked it up tonight. Game over. #Nuggets
