Victor Wembanyama had his best games of the season on Monday night, dropping a dominant 34-point performance as the San Antonio Spurs cruised to a 116–96 win over the Sacramento Kings.

The 20-year-old phenom didn't just light up the court; he lit up the heart of a young fan, too.

After the game, a young supporter sporting Wembanyama's jersey stood by, hoping to snag an autograph from his idol. But instead of simply signing memorabilia, Wembanyama made the kid’s night unforgettable by taking off his own game-worn jersey and handing it directly to the fan.

Imagine being that kid—starry-eyed, overwhelmed, and suddenly holding a piece of history. Talk about a memory for life. Pretty cool, Victor.

The 34-point performance was Wembanyama's first 30-plus point game this season, marking a new high point in his early NBA career. Alongside his impressive scoring, he also grabbed 14 rebounds, dished out six assists, and blocked three shots, sealing San Antonio's largest win of the season.

Wembanyama was on fire from beyond the arc, sinking six three-pointers to tie his career high—set, remarkably, in the previous game.

The San Antonio star is special, folks, and each game feels like a glimpse into the extraordinary. We’re witnessing something amazing down in Texas for the foreseeable future.
