Wemby v. Chet is a must see. I love that these dudes are as competitive as they are with each other.

With Wembanyama putting on the better performance, many fans declared this the end of the Rookie of the Year battle. Of course, there's still plenty of season left for Holmgren to try and make up for Thursday's game.
