It cannot be denied that the San Antonio Spurs have an elite talent in Victor Wembanyama. Everyone knows this, and he constantly reminds the NBA world what an incredible player he is.
He did it again in the first quarter of Monday night’s showdown between his Spurs and the Detroit Pistons at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, when he made a big defensive play to deny the home team a bucket from deep.
With 1:49 left in the first period and 2.1 seconds remaining on the Pistons’ shot clock, Detroit forward Ronald Holland II received an inbounds pass and looked like he was open for a 3-pointer from the right side. However, Vembanyama used his mobility, athleticism and length to not only trouble Holland but also block his shots.
And with that shot rejection, Wembanyama has finally checked all the boxes when it comes to recording a block against every NBA team.

The 22-year-old Vembanayama is undoubtedly one of the best – if not the best – defensive players in the NBA. He can defend all positions and is a legitimate threat to protect the rim. A two-time NBA block leader, Wembley entered the Pistons game leading the league with 2.7 blocks per contest in the 2025–26 regular season.
With his rare blend of size, length and agility, two-time NBA All-Star Wembanyama is a capable defender near the rim or outside the perimeter, which he clearly demonstrated with that block on Holland, who likely would have missed that shot if another player was guarding him.
