So I saw people going nuts about Wembanyama’s last ten games, claiming crazy highlights and stats. Figured I’d take a look myself, not just trust the hype. Grabbed my laptop, made some strong coffee – you know how this goes.
Getting Started with the Data Mess
First thing, hit up the NBA stats site. Man, that place is a jungle. Tried finding recent games filter. Took three tries. Found the game log finally, but loading was slower than watching paint dry. Scrolled through the list, counting back ten games manually. Because of course they don’t have a “last 10” button. Pure madness.
Clicked into each game one by one. Why isn’t this consolidated? Got my notebook out – the paper kind – started scribbling down points, rebounds, blocks, assists for each game. Fingers smudged with ink halfway through. Thought about using a spreadsheet, but nah, started this way, gonna finish this way. Monday morning motivation, gone.
The Highlight Hunt
Stats are one thing, but highlights? That’s the good stuff. Opened a new tab, went searching. Official NBA channels, fan pages, the works. Videos scattered everywhere like someone dropped a box of clips. Started watching:
- Game 1: Saw that monster block everyone’s talking about. Legit scary.
- Game 3: Coast-to-coast dribble finish. Kid’s taller than my house and moves like that?
- Game 7: Threaded a bounce pass through like three dudes. Smooth.
- Game 10: That deep three-pointer? Pure disrespect.
Took forever sifting through junk plays to find the best ones. Clicked “Skip Ad” more times than I clicked actual play buttons. Wife asked what I was watching. “Work,” I grunted.
Putting It All Together
So what did I actually see? Forget the one crazy number everyone screams about. For me:
- Blocks every game, obviously. He swats balls like flies.
- Rebounds? Beastly, especially those offensive boards giving second chances.
- Scoring got more consistent late in the ten. Less wild, more controlled.
- Passing vision really surprised me. Saw plays he definitely wouldn’t have made earlier.
Jotted down a quick list of the top 5 plays based on wow factor. Stayed up way too late compiling this nonsense. Big brain time: kid’s getting way more comfy out there. Looks less frantic, more like he knows he belongs.
There you go. Real look at his last ten. You wanted the scoop, I dug for it. Straight from the stats grind. Any questions, hit the comments.
