The ⁠NBA ⁠Defensive Player of ⁠the Year award ​has been around since 1983, and in that time, no player has ​ever received 100% of the first-place votes for the award. Victor Wembanyama is now the first. The San Antonio Spurs superstar center received 100 first-place votes ​out ‌of a possible 100 to unanimously win the prestigious ⁠award, the NBA announced on Monday.

The two-time All-Star also averaged career highs in ​points (25.0) and rebounds (11.5) while chipping in a steal ‌per game for a Spurs team that compiled the second-best record in the league (62-20) and also ranked No. 3 in the league in defensive rating.
