Victor Wembanyama is redefining expectations with his electrifying performances this season. Now in his third year with the San Antonio Spurs, Wembanyama has become an unstoppable force on the court, challenging every opponent he faces.

On Saturday, he led the Spurs to a 118-107 victory over the Brooklyn Nets, contributing a stunning 31 points while excelling on both offense and defense.
Following his standout performance, Nike Basketball took to their social media platform X on Sunday to celebrate Wembanyama’s talents. The sportswear giant, with an estimated value of $105 billion according to stockanalysis.com, posted a video highlighting one of Wembanyama’s spectacular plays. In the clip, he blocks two consecutive shot attempts, secures the rebounds, and then effortlessly sinks a three-point shot from near the half-court line.

Nike penned their praise for their brand ambassador in the post’s caption.
“Came down from the mountains. Came back with a cannon,” Nike Basketball wrote.
The Spurs command a positive 3-0 lead early in the season. Victor Wembanyama is averaging 34.5 points, 13.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 6.0 blocks on 63.6% shooting from the field. If the Alien continued to deliver on the same level for the entire season, there is a high chance that he might win the MVP award.
Nike hype up Victor Wembanyama’s rookie teammate with a subtle throwback to the Spurs star
After sharing Victor Wembanyama’s ridiculous play against the Nets, Nike hyped up Spurs rookie Dylan Harper. They posted their opinion on Harper on their X account, while giving a subtle shoutout to the alien.
“A rook in San Antonio putting the league on notice. Again. @dy1anharper,” the tweet read.
The “Again” on the post referred to Wembanyama’s rookie campaign with the Spurs. San Antonio drafted their star big man as the first pick in the 2023 draft. Even though the San Antonio had a terrible run as a team that season, the Alien lived up to the hype surrounding him.
Victor Wembanyama delivered on the expectations and won the Rookie of the Year award. This season, Dylan Harper is doing the same. The second overall pick in the 2025 draft is drawing eyes to his game, thanks to his synergy with the Alien.
Harper is averaging 14.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game on 38.5% shooting from the field. He is currently one of the early favorites to win the Rookie of the Year award.
