Victor Wembanyama reached 59 blocks and 27 made threes in 16 playoff games, becoming the first NBA player to clear 55 blocks and 25 threes in a single postseason.
His milestone came in San Antonio's 118-91 Game 6 win over Oklahoma City, which kept the Spurs alive in the Western Conference Finals.
Wembanyama powered that result with 28 points, 10 rebounds, four threes, three blocks, two assists and two steals.
The 22-year-old is averaging 23.3 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.7 blocks, 2.8 assists and 1.7 threes in his first playoff run, underscoring his two-way impact heading into Game 7.
Has Wembanyama's historic playoff run already eclipsed the early postseason peaks of NBA legends like Shaq and Hakeem?
With a title shot on the line, can the Spurs' young core support Wembanyama in a hostile Game 7?
Is the top-seeded Thunder's collapse caused by Wembanyama's dominance, or are their injuries and star's slump to blame?
