NBA has concluded its first week and two European players were the two first players of the week. In the West, unsurprisingly, Victor Wembanyama was named best player of week 1, for his record-breaking performance for the San Antonio Spurs, helping his club remain unbeaten, 4-0, averaging 33.3 points, 13.3 rebounds and more surprisingly, 6 blocks per game.
Wembanyama, nicknamed "Alien" for his athletic but slender figure, has helped to popularise NBA in France, with many French people supporting the Spurs.
In the East Conference, the Greek forward Giannis Antetokounmpo has been named player of the week with Milwaukee Bucks, averaging 36.0 points, 16 rebounds and 7 assists per game, in a 2-1 ratio in the East.
Antetokounmpo is the star of the team, having played there since 2013 (he Giannis only played in the Greek league for two years), becoming NBA champion in 2021.
