First, he achieved his 95th straight game with a block . Then, with the game on the line, he rose to the occasion as only a superstar can. In the fourth quarter, Wemby converted on back-to-back three-pointers that sealed the deal for the Spurs.

On Wednesday, the Spurs will return to San Antonio to face the Golden State Warriors .
The Spurs have the superstar the Bulls don't have
It goes without saying that Wemby is a generational talent. His body of work speaks for itself. So it is only fitting for him to come through in the clutch, as he did.
That is what is to be expected from the best of the best. Meanwhile, the Bulls don't have that superstar player that they can count on to rise to the occasion. They have some decent talent in Josh Giddey , Matas Buzelis , Nikola Vucevic , Ayo Dosunmu , and a healthy Coby White .

However, they are not exactly the type of talent that can be categorized in the same fashion as Wemby. They are a young team searching for a collective identity and building from the ground up. One of them could emerge into a phenom, but for now, it is Wemby who takes the cake.
