The San Antonio Spurs are now 1-0 up in the Western Conference Finals, as they dealt the Oklahoma City Thunder their first loss of the postseason. Victor Wembanyama was once again the star of the show with 41 points and 24 rebounds.
It was one of the most impressive performances of the postseason, as Wemby proved he is ready for the big moments. This is his first-ever postseason run, but he is cementing his status as one of the very best the game has to offer.
Stephon Castle believes Victor Wembanyama is the best in the world
As the Spurs' biggest star, Wembanyama is always at the forefront of the story. He deserves that because he constantly makes an impact on both ends of the floor. This was quite apparent during Game 1, as he was quite dominant.
He had an impressive performance throughout all of his 49 minutes. Even when he was gassed, Wemby found ways to make an impact, as he was blocking shots and hitting crucial shots.

With that performance, his teammate Stephon Castle made sure to highlight his teammate's performance. He wanted to cement that Wemby is the league's best player.
That kind of performance is what people will remember when it comes to remembering Wemby's legacy. He did not show any hint of inexperience in the postseason, as he dominated his matchup against Chet Holmgren.
Moving forward, Wembanyama still has a lot to improve on. That is scary for the rest of the league, and this series is now in the Spurs' hands after stealing away home court with the Game 1 win.
