After the win over Miami, San Antonio’s star pointed to his two-way impact in the race for the award

Victor Wembanyama strongly backed his NBA MVP case after the Spurs’ convincing win over Miami. San Antonio also clinched its first Southwest Division title in nine seasons.

The French star said there should be a debate, but also made it clear he believes he should be leading the race. He pointed in particular to the value of defense, which he feels remains underrated in MVP discussions.

Wembanyama is averaging 24.3 points, 11.2 rebounds and 3.0 blocks per game, numbers that keep him firmly in the conversation. Meanwhile, the Spurs at 54-18 continue to look like one of the West’s elite teams.
