Here are some recent NBA articles from the Associated Press:

Victor Wembaneyama had a unique year for a rookie in NBA history.

Some had more points, some had more rebounds, some had more blocks, some had more steals. But no player has ever averaged all of these averages: at least 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 3.6 blocks, and 1.2 steals per game in the first year of his career.

until now.

A long-anticipated outcome became a reality on Monday, when the French Spurs star was announced as the unanimous winner of the NBA's Rookie of the Year Award. He is the third player in San Antonio to win a championship, following David Robinson in 1990 and Tim Duncan in 1998, and like Wembaneyama, both were first overall picks and were immediately selected as centers to lead the Spurs to greatness. It was done.

“My goal has always been to help the team in any way I can and get better as the year progresses,” Wenbanyama told TNT from San Antonio after the award was announced on the network's NBA Playoffs pregame show. “I knew that to do this, I had to be individually good and dominant on the court. So that was a huge thing for me and something to gain. It was always really It was important and I'm glad it's finally officially announced.”

Wembaneyama became the sixth player to receive all first-place votes since the award began in the 1952-53 season. He is a member of Houston's Ralph Sampson (1984), Robinson (1990), the Los Angeles Clippers' Blake Griffin (2011), Portland's Damian Lillard (2013), and Minnesota's Karl-Anthony Towns ( In 2016), he became a member of the group.

Oklahoma City's Chet Holmgren and Charlotte's Brandon Miller were the other finalists for the award. Wenbanyama received all 99 first-place votes from a committee of reporters and broadcasters covering the league. Holmgren received 98 of the 99 second-place votes, and Miller received the remaining second-place votes for third place.

Miami's Jaime Jaquez Jr. was fourth, followed by Golden State's Brandin Podzemski and Dallas' Derek Lively II. No other newcomers received second or third place votes.

There have been other near-unanimous selections in recent years. Orlando's Paolo Banchero received 98 of 100 first-place votes last year, Memphis' Ja Morant received 99 of 100 in 2020, Dallas' Luka Doncic received 98 of 100 in 2019, and Philadelphia Ben Simmons scored 90 points out of 101 in 2018.

But voters left no doubt that Wenby was the candidate. And he's already working on improving.

“Physically, the work will never be completed,” Wenbanyama said. “I've spent months planning my entire body and will continue to find new ways to improve and train my body. Basketball-wise, there are things I want to work on. We have a lot.”

Wembangyama is the first player to win the award internationally since Doncic in 2019, and the fifth player to do so in the past 10 seasons. Andrew Wiggins (Canada) won in 2015, Towns (Dominican Republic) won in 2016, Simmons (Australia) won in 2018, and Doncic continued the following season.

Wenbanyama became the fourth player, and the first rookie, to finish a season with at least 1,500 points, 250 assists, and 250 blocked shots. Others: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar went five times, Hakeem Olajuwon twice, Robinson twice. No one has done that since 1993-94, when Olajuwon and Robinson had seasons like this.

Wenbanyama said his family had adapted to life in the United States, and the change from France to Texas wasn't too big.

“This country without contests is the best country in the world for athletes,” Wenbanyama said. “The culture, everything, the infrastructure is built for us to thrive. We're really in a bubble. I've had a very blessed life as an NBA player, and there are so many people who support me every day. I know they care, and this award is for them too.”

The Rookie of the Year award could be the start of an important week for Wenbanyama. Wenbanyama will also be in the top three for Defensive Player of the Year. The award was announced Tuesday, with Minnesota's Rudy Gobert and Miami's Bam Adebayo among the other finalists.

The NBA will announce its MVPs on Wednesday (Denver's Nikola Jokic, Dallas' Luka Doncic and Oklahoma City's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander).
