The rivalry between Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren started years before the NBA at the 2021 FIBA U19 World Cup, when Team USA barely defeated France 83-81 in the championship game and Holmgren won tournament MVP over Wemby. Even after Victor put up 22 points, 8 rebounds, and a tournament-record 8 blocks in the final, he still had to watch Chet celebrate the gold medal and MVP trophy, with Wembanyama later calling it one of the toughest moments of his basketball career. Ever since then, fans have constantly compared the two future superstars as the next generation of NBA greatness, and today Wemby finally got his revenge against Holmgren and the Oklahoma City Thunder on the biggest stage possible. In Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals, Victor Wembanyama delivered an all-time playoff performance with 41 points, 24 rebounds, clutch blocks, a huge game-tying three, and a vicious dunk over Holmgren to lead the San Antonio Spurs to a 122-115 double-overtime win over OKC. Meanwhile, Holmgren struggled with just 8 points and 8 rebounds as Wemby completely took over the game and stole the spotlight from his longtime rival. From losing MVP to Chet as a teenager to dominating him years later in the NBA playoffs, this matchup officially feels like the beginning of basketball’s next legendary rivalry.
