数据榜领跑者需要参加球队70%的比赛，但NBA规则手册中存在例外情况。
维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)因肩部深静脉血栓缺席2024-25赛季全明星赛后的比赛，这带来了诸多损失，不仅是对于一支渴望进入季后赛的马刺队来说潜在的胜利。由于仅出战了46场比赛，他被认为没有资格获得年度最佳防守球员（如果符合资格，他本应获得这一奖项）、最佳阵容和最佳防守阵容等奖项，因为他没有达到65场比赛的最低出场次数。
然而，由于NBA规则手册中的一项例外规定，他可以保留一项头衔。在被称为赛季数据榜领跑者时，要求稍微宽松一些：球员必须参加球队70%的比赛，而不是65场，也就是在82场比赛的赛季中需要出场58场，这适用于大多数基于总数的统计数据。（有些统计数据，例如投篮命中率和比率，则需要达到最少出手次数。）当然， 文班 也没有达到58场比赛的要求，但有一项豁免条款允许他仍然有资格。
在NBA的统计最低要求页面上，你可以看到相关的门槛。（例如，尽管克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)的罚球命中率高达92.4%，比谢伊·吉尔杰斯-亚历山大(Shai Gilgeous-Alexander)高出3%，但他仍然没有资格成为罚球命中率榜首，因为他只有94次出手，而最低要求是125次命中。）在所有这些下方，有一个例外条款允许未达到门槛的球员仍然有资格：
该规则的唯一例外是，如果在赛季结束时，球员以其当前的类别总数，在达到要求的比赛场次的情况下，仍然在该类别中领先全联盟，则该球员仍然有资格。例如，如果A球员打了56场比赛，得到1590分（场均28.4分），那么如果A球员以相同的总分（1590分）计算，在58场比赛中的平均得分（27.4分）高于任何其他球员，则A球员仍然有资格领跑得分榜。过去的一个例子：迈尔斯·特纳(Myles Turner)在2020-21赛季的72场比赛中，在47场比赛中贡献了159个盖帽（场均3.38个），当时的出场次数资格是51场。特纳仍然会领跑盖帽榜，因为他在51场比赛中的平均盖帽数（场均3.12个）将高于鲁迪·戈贝尔(Rudy Gobert)的场均2.68个，后者是符合51场比赛资格的球员中的领跑者。
无论你怎么计算，如果 文班 参加了58场比赛，他都会领跑盖帽榜，因为事实上，他已经领跑了。尽管 文班 只参加了46场比赛，但他仍然以176个盖帽领先整个NBA盖帽总数榜——比排名第二的布鲁克·洛佩斯(Brook Lopez)多出28个，后者在80场比赛中贡献了148个盖帽。如果调整到58场比赛（即176除以58）， 文班 的场均盖帽数仍然略高于3个，远高于排名第二的沃克·凯斯勒(Walker Kesler)在58场比赛中的场均2.4个，这意味着 文班 符合此例外条款的盖帽王资格。（值得注意的是，他没有资格获得的一项统计数据是每48分钟盖帽数，因为这需要至少出场2000分钟，并且没有例外。）
如果你需要证据证明这些例外条款适用于 文班 ，你可以点击上面的链接查看，联盟确实将他列为盖帽总数和场均盖帽数的联盟领跑者，但在每48分钟盖帽数中却找不到他。
所以，事实就是这样。 文班 可能至少被剥夺了两个潜在的简历加分奖项，即年度最佳防守球员和最佳防守阵容（这两项都关系到他的合同续约），但至少他获得了本赛季的盖帽王头衔，并且他将在未来的许多个赛季中重返这两项奖项的争夺。无论谁赢得今年的年度最佳防守球员奖，都应该好好珍惜它，因为它可能在一段时间内都无法获得——至少在选民感到审美疲劳之前是这样。

Why Victor Wembanyama is still the official blocks leader despite not reaching threshold
Stat leaders are required to play in 70% of their games, but there is an exception in the NBA rule book.
A lot was lost when Victor Wembanyama was ruled out for the 2024-25 season during the All-Star break due to deep vein thrombosis in his shoulder, and it wasn’t just potential wins for a Spurs team that had postseason aspirations. With just 46 games played, he was deemed ineligible for awards such Defensive Player of the Year (which by all accounts he would have won had he qualified), as well as All-NBA and All-Defensive teams because he did not meet 65-game threshold.
However, there is one title he will be able keep thanks to an exception in the NBA rule book. When it comes to being called a stat leader for a season, the requirements are slightly more lenient: instead of 65 games, a player must participate in 70% of a team’s games, so 58 games in an 82-game season, for most total-based stats. (Some stats, such as shooting percentages and ratios, require a minimum number of attempts.) Of course, Wemby did not reach 58 games either, but there is an exemption that allows him to still qualify.
On the NBA’s stat minimum requirements page, you can see what the thresholds are. (For example, despite hitting 92.4% of his free throws, 3% more than Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chris Paul will not qualify as the leader because he only had 94 attempts, but 125 makes is required.) Beneath all that, there is an exception that allows players who don’t meet the thresholds to still qualify:
The only exception to this rule will be if, at the end of the season, the player would have led the league in the category had he played the required number of games with his current category total. For example, if Player A played 56 games and scored 1,590 points (28.4 ppg), Player A could still qualify for the league lead if his average (27.4) with that same point total (1,590) over 58 games was higher than any other player. A past example: Myles Turner recorded 159 blocks in 47 games (3.38 bpg) in a 72-game season in 2020-21, when the games played qualifier was 51. Turner would have still led the league in blocks because his average with 51 games (3.12 bpg) would have been greater than the 2.68 bpg of Rudy Gobert, the leader among players who met the 51-game qualifier.
No matter which way you slice it, Wemby would have led the league in blocks if he had played in 58 games because, well, he did anyways. Despite only playing in 46 games, Wemby still led the entire NBA in total blocks with 176 — 28 more than runner-up Brook Lopez, who had 148 blocks in 80 games played. When adjusted to 58 games played (so 176 divided by 58), Wemby would have still averaged just over 3 blocks per game, well ahead of runner-up Walker Kesler’s 2.4 in 58 games, meaning Wemby qualifies for blocks leader under this exception. (It’s worth nothing that one stat he does not qualify for is blocks per 48 min since that requires a minimum of 2,000 minutes played, and there are no exceptions.)
If you need proof that these exceptions are being applied to Wemby, you can click on the links above to see than the league does have him as the league leader in total blocks and blocks per game, but he his nowhere to be found in blocks per 48 minutes.
So, there you have it. Wemby may have been robbed of at least two potential resume-building awards in DPOY and the All-Defense team (both of which matter towards his contract extension), but at least he gets to keep the title of Block King this season, and he’ll be back for the other two for many seasons to come. Whoever wins DPOY this year should covet it dearly, because it may not be available for a while — at least not until voter fatigue sets in.
