Spurs followers (and NBA followers as a complete) are rapidly studying which you can count on an absolute minimal of 1 eye-opening play from Victor Wembanyama each sport. He had loads of these in Friday’s preseason matchup towards the Miami Warmth, however one play specifically stood out. Early within the second half, he had a seemingly easy dunk the place he acquired the ball from a driving Devin Vassell, dribbled to his left to simply above the highest of the restricted space, and simply type of threw it down over Thomas Bryant from a seemingly unattainable distance away for “standing”, contested dunk.
Solely somebody with Wemby’s wingspan might full such a dunk, not to mention make it look really easy. Even funnier was Bryant’s response as he seemed on the Warmth bench with a helpless, “what else can I do” response. I think about we’ll be seeing many extra appears like this as time goes on.
To reference even additional how mind-boggling that dunk was, it was considerably paying homage to Jeremy Sochan’s dunk over Domantas Sabonis final season that was rated 4th finest within the NBA.
Discover that whereas took off from the about the identical distance, he had much more launch however even then, he had an extended attain to even get the ball to the rim. (Some even argued if this even was dunk versus merely “throwing the ball into the basket” because it left his hand earlier than it acquired there.) Evaluating how a lot effort it took Sochan right here vs. Wemby reveals simply how wild his bodily options are and garners much more pleasure over what’s to return — and it’s solely been two preseason video games.
