MIAMI -- Victor Wembanyama is making it clear: He wants to win the NBA's MVP award this season.
The San Antonio star -- moments after his team officially clinched its first Southwest Division title in nine seasons -- detailed some elements of his MVP case Monday night after the red-hot Spurs beat the Miami Heat 136-111 for their 22nd win in their past 24 games.
"I have thought about it," Wembanyama said. "I think right now there is a debate. There should be, even though I think I should lead the race. I'm trying to make sure that at the end of the season, there's no debate."
