San Antonio Spurs phenom Victor Wembanyama is off to an unbelievable start to his 2025-26 campaign, with many, not just some, saying there is a chance that he will win both the MVP and Defensive Player of the Year awards this year, at the tender age of 21.

In the absence of 2024-25 All-NBA forward Jalen Williams at the start of the season, the Oklahoma City Thunder needed some of its rotation to step up and fill into the hole he leaves. This was an opportunity to third-year center Chet Holmgren to capitalize on; that is exactly what he has done.

Due to Chet Holmgren already having won a title, Victor Wembanyama is a little jealous about it and has been motivated to get one himself.

Usually in business mode, Chet Holmgren gave fans glimpses of his personable self. When you win an NBA championship, you can ease off a bit. The 23-year-old took to social media to engage with fans and admit his nostalgia for OKC despite only a three-month offseason.

Chet Holmgren scored 31 points, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 30 and the reigning NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder pulled away in the second half for a 117-100 victory over the short-handed Atlanta Hawks on Saturday night.
