The Spurs' superstar put on a dazzling show against Mavericks, making plays over Anthony Davis and other Dallas defenders in a statement victory.

Victor Wembanyama scored 40 points, had 15 rebounds, and committed zero turnovers in the San Antonio Spurs’ victory over the Dallas Mavericks. Colin Cowherd asks if the league is about to be dominated by Wemby ahead of the 2025/26 NBA season.

This includes former NBA All-Star DeMarcus Cousins, who gave his strong opinion on Wembanyama on Thursday. "One game in, I'm going with Wemby as No. 1 [player in the NBA]. I saw all I needed to see. He's number one for me," Cousins said during Thursday's episode of "Run It Back." "It ain't five, four, three or two."
