In a standout performance during the Denver Nuggets vs. San Antonio Spurs game, rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama etched his name in NBA history. 

Despite the Spurs' 12-straight losses, Wembanyama showcased his prowess with an extraordinary stat line of 22 points, 11 rebounds, 6 steals, 4 blocks, and 2 assists.

Wembanyama's remarkable feat makes him the first rookie ever to achieve such a performance in a single game.

Even when excluding rookie status, only four other players in NBA history, including James Harden in 2019, have matched or surpassed this exceptional line. 

Notably, Wembanyama accomplished this in just 24 minutes and 56 seconds of play, making him the sole player on this elite list to achieve such stats in under 30 minutes.

While the Spurs aim to reverse their current standings as the worst team in the Western Conference, Wembanyama's outstanding performance signals a promising future for the team. 

Despite the loss, the rookie's historic display draws parallels with NBA legends like Karl Malone, Hakeem Olajuwon, and Robert Parish, highlighting the potential greatness in his early career.
