Victor Wembanyama goes viral with an insane pre-game dunk
Victor Wembanyama has made sensational plays all year long that have given the basketball community plenty to talk about as they desperately daydream about their favorite franchise acquiring him with the first overall pick. Now that fans know the French phenom will become the face of the San Antonio Spurs, their excitement to see him break the laws of physics in the NBA only grows stronger by the day.
This time, Wembanyama shattered the internet with an insane dunk in the layup lines before an LNB Pro A semifinal game between Metropolitans 92 and ASVEL Basket. The talented teenage prospect will soon say au revoir to France and hello to Alamo City, the place he will call home to kickstart his highly-anticipated NBA career.
The 7-foot-5 center casually pulled out a smooth between-the-legs dunk on Tuesday night that left everyone from the people in the stadium to the fans on social media with their jaws on the floor in disbelief at what their eyes just witnessed. Even some of the best athletes in the world struggle to perform an Eastbay slam, and the soon-to-be tallest player in the NBA made it look oh-so effortless.
This highlight reel rim rocker was one of the numerous feats Wemby has accomplished this season, and he has delighted diehard basketball fans with his ridiculous mobility, deep three-point range, roaring dunks, and slippery handles. All those skills packaged into a towering frame are just unfair and unfathomable.
There are several reasons for the Spurs faithful to be excited about next season. The future of this franchise is in good hands with Wembanyama, and we will have to exercise some patience and give the front office a little time to build something special around him. The Silver and Black will be title contenders again sooner than you know.
