LOS ANGELES (AP) — LeBron James scored 30 points, made nine assists, and grabbed seven rebounds for the Los Angeles Lakers, who won their seventh game out of nine by defeating the San Antonio Spurs 123-118 on Friday night despite Victor Wembanyama’s impressive “5×5” statistical performance.

Wembanyama scored 27 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, and made eight assists in his first away game against the Lakers. The young French rookie excelled by recording five blocked shots and five thefts in a single game, becoming the youngest player in NBA history and the 15th overall to complete a 5×5 performance, which involves accumulating at least five points, rebounds, assists, blocks, and steals.

James said that Wembanyama had unlimited potential. He has the freedom to choose whatever job path he desires. He seemed to get pleasure from the game. It seems that he is diligent and hardworking, based just on external observation. I said long ago how exceptional he was, and it really is that straightforward.

Wembanyama almost missed achieving a 5×5 game in Sacramento but accomplished it the next night in Los Angeles in only 30 minutes and 55 seconds, setting a record for the shortest playing time in a 5×5 performance in league history.
