In the first of two contests between the San Antonio Spurs and the Indiana Pacers for the NBA Paris Games 2025, it wasâ€"of courseâ€"France native Victor Wembanyama who stole the show.

To go along with a 140-110 win, the 7'3" 21-year-old center was a highlight reel machine. In 32 minutes of play, Wembanyama pulled off a self-alley-oop from just inside the free-throw line, dished out another to his teammate Jeremy Sochan, played lock-down defense, and was the Spurs' leading scorer on the afternoon.

Here's a look at some of the best moments from his performance:

Wembanyama finished San Antonio's win over Indiana with 30 points on 13-for-21 shooting, 11 rebounds, six assists, five blocks, and one steal.

Not too shabby.

The Spurs and Pacers conclude the 2025 Paris Games on Saturday from France's Accor Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for noon EST with the game airing on ESPN.
