Star, Chris Paul makes a pitch to coaches about selecting Spurs teammate Victor Wembanyama for his first such honor.

Wemby’s first NBA game in France was a smashing success, as he went off for 30 points in the Spurs’ 140-110 win over the Pacers.

In his short career, Victor Wembanyama has taken the basketball world by storm. His San Antonio Spurs team took on the Indiana Pacers in the first of two games at the Accor Arena in Paris, with the seven-foot-three center giving home fans a lot to marvel at.

The Cavs have players vying for several key awards, including MVP, Sixth Man, Clutch, Defensive Player, Most Improved and Coach of the Year.

Wembanyama put on a show in his home country, putting up a 30-point double-double and a number of key highlights in the massive win.

Tim Bontemps unveils his 24 picks for the East and West All-Star rosters, filled with new starters, wild-card intrigue and some agonizing decisions.

If there was any fear about Victor Wembanyama's adjustment to the NBA, it had to do with his frame. Wembanyama is one of the NBA's tallest players at 7-foot-3, but he is very skinny for his height and will almost certainly bulk up with more time in San Antonio's strength and conditioning program.

The star Spurs center becomes the first San Antonio player since Dejounte Murray in 2021-2022 to make the All-Star squad.

Wembanyama logged 23 points (8-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and two steals over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 128-116 loss to the Clippers. Wembanyama's team-high 12 rebounds helped him record his sixth straight double-double Wednesday.
