The Dallas Mavericks' season is finally here, and in a matter of seconds, Dallas' season opener against the San Antonio Spurs was stomped on by Victor Wembanyama. Not only would the Mavericks fall apart as a team by the end of the second quarter, but Wembanyama's mere presence was enough to affect Dallas' entire game plan.
Wembanyama would top off his night in Dallas with 40 points, 15 rebounds, and a game-changing three-shot deflections. However, something that won't show up in the box score - Wembanyama has solidified himself as Texas' true No. 1 superstar.
From the Mavericks' Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving to the Houston Rockets' Alperen Sengun and Kevin Durant, Wembanyama's 40-point debut in just his third NBA season will live in the minds of Dallas fans forever.
