The San Antonio Spurs took care of business on Tuesday night, and so they're moving on in the NBA playoffs, eliminating the Portland Trail Blazers in the process.

Believe it or not, it's the Spurs' first playoff series victory in nine years. For this franchise, it's been a relative wandering in the desert since 2017. But it was in the desert where they found their savior, Victor Wembanyama.

And at this point, the rest of the NBA already knows what it's up against. But just in case, Wembanyama does about 10 different things every night that remind the league that it should be very, very afraid.

He's 7-foot-5, or 7-foot-4, or whatever height the Spurs decide to convince everyone else he is, but really, you could put any tall height number next to his name and everyone would be like, "Yeah, that sounds right." He might as well be 8-feet tall.
