On Friday, Victor Wembanyama played his 100th career NBA game as the San Antonio Spurs faced off with the Denver Nuggets. The game saw Wembanyama log 35 points, 18 rebounds, four assists, two blocks, and a steal over 33 minutes of action as San Antonio picked up a 113-110 win over Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets.

After some jaw-dropping stats from Wembanyama's first 100 games began to circulate online, one tech YouTuber, Marques Brownlee, weighed in, comparing Wembanyama to an NBA 2K player.

Through his first 100 games in the NBA, Wembanyama logged more career 3-pointers than Klay Thompson, Steph Curry, Kyrie Irving, James Harden, and Kevin Durant.

Additionally, over his first 100 career games, Wemby logged more blocks than Shaq, Alonzo Mourning, Dikembe Mutombo, Hakeem Olajuwon, and Tim Duncan. On top of that, Wemby's first 100 games saw him out-rebound some all-time greats such as Charles Barkley and Karl Malone.

Victor Wembanyama's impact didn't stop there, however. On offense, he out-scored Allen Iverson, LeBron, Tim Duncan, KD, and D-Wade over his first 100 games, logging 2,273 points.

Brownlee reacted to the stats, writing:

"He's really a 2K MyCareer custom creation. More blocks in his first 100 games than Shaq. More threes in his first 100 games than Steph. More rebounds in his first 100 games than AD. More points in his first 100 games than LeBron. THIS IS ONE DUDE."
