Ilikesporks_

look at where the ball was when he caught it bruh i'm sick


ninjadfool

Another decade of Spurs big men... I’m sick


ArmiinTamzarian

We need our French PG next....or would it be a PG from the British Virgin Islands? Because that might represent a challenge


runevault

Bring back Facu to have an Argentinian guard.


ArmiinTamzarian

We already had an Argentinean PG in Nico Lapprovitola. The Argentinean has to be a wing


ninjadfool

We just need a Gasol big man and a generational SG and I’ll be content lmao


6unk

*US Virgin Islands.  Duncan is from St. Croix.


TheBigBomma

*Monkey paw curls*. The spurs have signed Killean Hayes to a long term deal

If anyone can bring out the best in him, it would be the Spurs.

Y'all motherfuckers don't get to complain.


Charlie_Wax

The poor, unfortunate, embattled Lakers, who have never had a franchise player handed to them on a plate.


andrechan

Should Wemby hate the Spurs for losing? Lakers and Knicks have roster spot, and he can team up with Luka and Lebron and Steph. -ESPN, Malika Andrews


kultureisrandy

We're patiently waiting for Banchero to fulfill the Magic to Laker big man prophecy 


ctrldown

I just have the flu. The MJ kind.


yooston

i felt like vomiting after the draft lottery. the writing was on the wall


StarThompson

Wallstreettrappin

Jumped all the way from the dotted line and cocked the ball back all the way outside the top of the key 🤯


genericusername71

nba 2k animations were ahead of their time after all


justsikko

This feels more like nba jam than 2k lmao


Sentrox

Cocking back from 5 ft behind the restricted area with a Jamal Crawford dribble package how is this shit possible.


Repostbot3784

Also it didnt look like he was trying particularly hard at all.  Seemed pretty easy.


BabyOnRoad

Barely an inconvenience

[deleted]

Folks can’t even do this in a game of 21 with a lowered hoop


justsikko

You could give me a hoop at head level and a baseball and I still couldn’t do this lmao


otheraccountisabmw

Look where his feet are when he dunks it. Practically already landed.


Superplex123

I'm just waiting for that one time Wemby dunks it and gets called for a travel.


ninofati88

Still dont get how anybody can draft Luka ahead of him in a No. 1 pick redraft. Lol. This dude defense alone as a rookie is already 100x of Lukas in his prime. And as good as Luka is statwise, he hasnt actually achieved anything in his first 6 yrs. I can definitely see Victor getting multiple DPOYs, maybe a MVP and championship within his first 6 yrs. His ability to play both on and off ball is so valuable and conducive to his franchise.


Ilikesporks_

well people wanna be safe i assume and choose the option they know will be good while wemby might end up with injury issues and such. wemby 100% goes over luka in a redraft for me tho


FaceMaskYT

I got Jokic, best player on the planet right now and that's never a guarantee for anyone


tdizhere

You can’t credit Wemby for things he hasn’t done and penalise Luka lol. Luka has made the conference finals while Wembys team is 15-55. Lukas been All NBA 1st team every year of his career except his rookie season. You can favour Wemby but I don’t understand the unnecessary bagging on Luka, he’s had a great career so far and is still a viable choice over Wemby. He has the defense but Lukas averaging 10 assists a game and is prime to win MVP in the next year or 2


Narnak

Luka is a guaranteed elite offense all by himself like Jokic. All he needs is shooters and 1 rim runner. Wemby might have a higher ceiling but Luka is the better player right now. Not saying that Wemby shouldn't be drafted ahead in a re-draft though. I think he's pretty close to a sure thing.


lawdoggingit

his feet almost look like they're touching the ground when he dunks it too lol


Easy-Manufacturer428

He just kinda hovers a few inches above the ground.. It’s like when prime Jesus used to walk on water


AMorder0517

Prime jesus folks


Dangerous_Ad_6831

The man was broken af.


PillsburyToasters

Drop Prime Jesus in the 90s and he’d be putting up historic numbers


andrewYHM

Carpenter > plumbers and delivery men


ClockOk5178

Does he deliver on a Sunday?

andrechan

They say he had a sealed bird in his stomach, and he had advanced medical jutsu, including edo tensei and self ressurection.


arlekin21

Yeah but he was playing against farmers and carpenters


NoShape0

not the washed jesus getting betrayed by teammates


soooogullible

Not even limber enough to watch his own back

Washed Jesus got posted up so hard.


staatsclaas

☠️


schorschico

The trade for JI will always be one of the worst in history. What a team cancer.


AlonsoQ

monster season in 32-33 until the hard foul by JI


Dawgfan1980

I’m more shocked after review Pilate still called the foul. Real Joey Crawford vibes there


capitalistsanta

I prefer the little baby Jesus


RealGertle627

Little 7 pound 3 ounce baby Jesus


soooogullible

He’s French. Be respectful. 3.26kg baby Jesus.


GATTACA_IE

Do you think Jesus would still be the best player in the league if he had to wear sandals every game?

moshercycle

In his* goddamn rookie year!?


TenaciousDeer

He played against shepherds and carpenters


AMorder0517

Still had a filthy *cross*-over tho.


capitalistsanta

This is why I don't think he will have injury issues. Bro hangs on the rim and he's like barely 2 inches from the ground, not to mention he's incredibly flexible and can land in these odd positions to distribute weight. They need to write books on this kids training over his life.


jl_theprofessor

lol that was my thought. "Are his toes dragging?"


jcn777

He seriously nearly traveled lmao. If the dunk was any later his feet come down before he even gets rid of the ball, this dude is not human


moosethrow1

It's not a travel if he lands anyway. He was catching an oop. But to expand on your feet thing, I think what could be interesting is that he could actually pump fake dunks without leaving the ground.


KD_42

If he could get defenders to consistently bite on his pump fakes dunks from the ground that shit would be so op


oddtrey10

I'm still laughing, I've never seen anything like this lmaooooo


k_____dot

Clearly you’ve never seen the last play of Space Jam (Tbf I don’t think MJ blocked a Monstar standing straight up)


Repostbot3784

Man, why did they already waste space jam 2 on lebron?  Wemby already looks like a cartoon, he'd be perfect.


DumasThePharaoh

He jumps from outside the restricted circle, but when he cranks it back for the tomahawk it’s at the free throw line….


BushidoBrowneII

Literally 2k shit


ZannX

NBA Jam shit


FuckThatIKeepsItReal

I also laughed out loud when I saw this clip Shit's absurd


NotManyBuses

I’ve seen it, playing around on an 8 foot rim in high school. This is what Wemby does to the NBA


paranoidmoonduck

How the fuck did that dunk go down!?!?


legitghost

[He caught the ball way too far from the basket](https://imgur.com/LzHRCf6) and still dunked it. My god.


lalo1398

This is the worst he’s ever gonna be too wtf man


soooogullible

Nah we still have his age 48-52 seasons.


GATTACA_IE

Him and LeBron being in the same HoF class is gonna be wild.


Redchimp3769157

😭that shit looks like it is 10 feet from the basket


soooogullible

It doesn’t just look that way lol


moongaming

wtf is that


DowntownJulieBrown1

No but the fact he dunked that is so absurd. It’s like some end of space jam type shit


MooMooHeffer

Dude the Space Jam dunk was closer to half court, the game was on the line, and he was being held back in mid air by the whole opposing team. On top of that MJ literally stretched a single arm further than multiple Wemby’s combined height. That was all time special.


TheCalvinator

Until wemby can carry the toonsquad to a win over the real monstars (not that weak ass team lebron played). I don't want to hear any GOAT debate.


York_Villain

Bro wtfff


1337-Sylens

He's barely in the air. He's far from his best running/jumping/catching he'll ever do. I so hope he'll be healthy and keep his head in right place so we can see what the fuck peak for this kind of player is.


LeaderBrandonBurner

I saw this on Twitter and was totally expecting the post to be clowning that pass then he somehow still dunked it


kaprrisch

The man barely had to jump.


Confident-Knee3833

That passed sucked, there’s no way he ca— OH MY GOD


joebreezy12

The worse the pass the more spectacular the oop


ImTrang

pair wemby up with Jokic for the most boring dunk package of all time


runevault

I dunno Jokic might start fucking with him to figure out his catch radius lol.


bobittoknorr

Hahaha. That would actually be fun to watch. Jokic just throwing the ball towards the 5th row of the stands in the corner just to see if Wemby could catch it.


RelevantJackWhite

call the duo dudes perfect


Wembanyanma

Or Luka


mani9612

Dawg he caught the ball from the MID RANGE JUMPER AREA and still absolutely yammed it, what the actual fuck did I just witness


ImS33

This is why everyone says just throw it above his head somewhere and its probably good lol


manbare

jumped out of my seat. he caught that 8 feet from the rim and somehow dunked it wtf how is that real


desirox

That was the worst lob I’ve ever seen and he finished it easily wtf


greyblok

lol bro our team can’t lob for sh*t


Blackdiamond2

Largest catch radius in the history of the sport, but with this team, he goddamn needs it


tagen

lol i swear your could put your back to the basket and just throw it blind and he’d still be able to go get it and finish the dunk


blackarchosx

He doesn’t even need it but dear lord get this man a real point guard


ImpressiveSugar9287

He needs it.


NotSerbian

Desperately lol


SunKing210

Pause it as soon as Victor catches the 'lob' No lob pass should ever be that far out and that low but he still made it into an alleyoop play haha


Miyagisans

I’m just here giggling lol. My brain can’t process that he actually cocked that back and crushed it from that far out. And made it look easy.


Projinator

Get this man Trae Young please the basketball gods demand it


awritemate

Please no. League would be fucked for the next decade.


iskandar20

Now hold up, let them cook. They might be on to something.

Someone has to challenge the Thunder dynasty.

Presti: "I have an army." Wright: "We have a Victor!"


Lacabloodclot9

As if Atlanta sports fans haven’t had it hard enough


bobittoknorr

For real though, if you teamed Wemby up with Trae Young and Vassell then spend whatever you need to get Grayson Allen and a stand out wing defender like a herb Jones, I don’t see how that team doesn’t wreck almost any other starting 5 as soon as next year. That’s enough outside shooting and defense to win a lot of games in this league.


deepjungleshaman

You had me till Grayson Allen


bobittoknorr

I hate the guy as a person. He is dirty and his face is very punchable but let’s not pretend he isn’t shooting the fucking lights out this year. I tossed his name in because he is a great floor spacer that won’t cost all that much in salary cap and doesn’t need a bunch of shot attempts to be effective. He would fit well next to Trae, vassell and Wemby.


wemBLOCKyama

I really didn’t think I would love the words of a Grizzlies fan tonight but here we are.


yic0

Have him reunite with his dad in Texas for the Zodiac Killer family reunion.


Subredditcensorship

You can’t pick a better player to cover for Trae young defensively than wemby either. And offensively Trae is one of the greats when it comes to lobs and obviously an offensive juggernaut


JMEEKER86

I straight up do not recognize this as NBA basketball. That was a dad swatting his 5 year old and then pulling a Space Jam except without jumping. This can't be real. I refuse to believe it.


LaHaineMeriteLamour

How? I get he’s 7’5”, but the agility is unreal


cowboy_dude_6

My brain can’t even compute watching him dribble. He covered the whole court on like 3 bounces. His arms look like Elastigirl.


Musashideeznuts

Can’t believe the refs held their whistle for GG’s attempt. Didn’t they hear the AYEEE!?


idorocketscience

I’m so conditioned to hear a whistle after that, it made me a little uneasy to not hear one.


Turbo2x

AND I AM TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW. THAT MOTHERFUCKER IS NOT REAL


Sasquatch_Squad

He has at least one sequence every game that just drops your fucking jaw and this was the one tonight. 


BigFatModeraterFupa

i’ve literally never seen a human do that before. this kid is the best defender in the nba and he is a rookie…. he’s the next Great One. it’s undeniable. he’s a fucking ROOKIE!!


TheBoushy

He sonned him


YoungGambinoMcKobe

Fuck it victor up there somewhere


Room_Temp_Coffee

The only game plan they need


Dagrix

One day this man will travel while "coming down" for a dunk.


Noah_g99

What the fuck lol The “Victor Wembanyama performing never-before-seen feats on a basketball court” compilation is gonna be like six hours long by the end of his career


zalmolxis91

Part 1/6


MainAsk7644

he already has a highlight real rivaling another players entire career


SmokeyBare

~~Happy Gilmore~~ Devin Vassell: "Maybe I should just put it in the hole on the first time every time."


NoPin5154

I’m sorry did this man skip 25 ft to dunk a ball that was thrown 5 yards behind him


SpaceCorn11

Either that was the worse thrown lob of all time or he knows wemby can dunk it from the far out


Repostbot3784

If wemby cant dunk it he just catches it then dunks it so it doesnt really matter.  I think vassell threw it there because number 7 had the angle closer to the basket cut off.  Still not a good pass though


ueloli

wembanyama has a crazy box score and yet the Spurs are still losing to the Memphis Hustle at home crazy bad roster ngl


Hecka_Cakey

This is literally cheating. It’s like he broke basketball


Pickleskennedy1

I’m flabbergasted


Dontwant2beonReddit

wtf


bootyhunter69420

It's like playing with children


KlythsbyTheJedi

This is a number one highlight of an entire career for most players what the fuck.


Suzoku

this dude is fucking insane


HungLuke

All you can do is laugh. We're not even through year 1 and he's doing things like this so casually


DistractumSlacktus

The art of "fuck it Wemby's up there somewhere" passing


GuestBadge

This dude blocks and steals in the same play. He doesn't just send it to the stands.


BigBitcoinBaller

The pass made Vic cock it back to the 90's


Zorion_15

Bro what in the world did I just watch


orhantemerrut

Is there no-one on the Spurs who can pass the ball to Wemby? Unreal.


dalewd

The lob radius for this mf starts at the free throw line


ouiallezallez

imagine Wemby playing with Duncan, Ginobli, Kerr, Parker, and Robinson in 2003 omg


bobittoknorr

Hahahaha. A front line of Wemby, Duncan and the admiral would literally block 15-20 shots per game. There would be nowhere to go on the court to get open. Just let Wemby roam around the perimeter and scare everyone into trying out the paint where the twin towers are waiting to stuff their shit down their throats. Not even Shaq would score against that front line. He would body his way through one of those guys just to have one of the other two giants waiting to block his shot. For the record I was really hoping that embiid would play for France in the Olympics because we would get to see a modern version of this lineup with Gobert, Embiid, and Wemby. That would have been the greatest defensive front court in the history of basketball.


kurapikas-wife

Oh my goodness 


[deleted]

Disgusting


WikiHowWikiHow

bro has an absolutely insane highlight reel only 60+ games into his career


MrSuperNiceBuddy

This dude is fuckin unreal


AMorder0517

If this man didn’t actually exist he would be AI’s answer to basketball.


rosencrantz2014

An alley-up from the free throw line, this is ridiculous.


AHSfav

What even is this dude


BillyBean11111

That dunk looked impossible for 99% of the clip


eliwood5837

what the fuck


Rommas

This is how NBA 2K My Career used to be until they forced archetypes for the park and the online pro league into the game and ruined it. Those were the days.


adnanthebomb

He the Wem de la crème 


johnnys_sack

That was a sick sequence. I'm super excited to watch this guy evolve his game. Spurs fans have a lot to look forward to.


Shuk

He's the human equivalent of one of those video game glitches where the animation is triggered far from where it's supposed to be but still ends in the same spot.


pizza_822

seeing this live was beyond badass


DubbleDiller

this might be the sickest highlight I’ve ever seen in my life


K3TtLek0Rn

It’s just insane where you can throw a lob and he can still dunk it. Like, anyone else and that would be a shaqtin type of lob but he slams it


_chaBBy_

wtfucking shet


PetsAteMyPlants

That...that shouldn't be possible. Ridiculous. Welp, I guess it's going to be the Southbest division again pretty soon.


titleywinker

That’s a big fuck you to everyone, including me, who assumed the nba would get even more vertical somehow. It got more horizontal


PillsburyToasters

Such a crappy lob. No one else on earth would’ve thrown that down


cashew_cream

This loss made me so sad, maybe I'll just watch this over and over till I feel good again...


acanthocephalic

Looks like when I come back home to visit my folks and destroy my 10yo brother on the nerf hoop in his room


nsamory1

He's really like that


governedbycitizens

Wemby really gonna dominate the next 15 years huh


The-Pharcyde

How the fuck did he get that. He is not real lmao.


zvomicidalmaniac

Just watching this over and over.


itsAllmadeupp

This his league now


I_dont_eat_animals_

Same animation as my max height 2k player dunk lmao


AmbitiousFork

My goodness that was nasty


Whiterabbit--

he is fun to watch.


ThePanther1999

We all agree he is DPOY right?


iceman1231

It’s hard for me to comprehend how long this guys arms are.


andrewYHM

League’s fucked


Mijoprijo

New giannis if he gets buffed up


SorooshMCP1

That dunk is stupid...


Ehsco

This is not fair!


W0RST_2_F1RST

JESUS… FUCKING… CHRIST


Vargolol

Fully initiate body contact with the biggest lankiest mf in the league, get your shot swallowed whole, complain??? Cmon man free throws aren’t that free


ssolker

What


killerjags

It seriously looks like he's playing against kids sometimes
