[Saba Sports News] San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama has once again stunned fans with his otherworldly abilities, this time with a sensational dunk against the Boston Celtics. The performance at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas, left the audience spellbound.
Standing at 7’4”, the Frenchman showcased an incredible display of athleticism by taking a single dribble from halfcourt and executing a dunk without traveling. Despite the Spurs trailing 79-60 in the early third quarter, the timing and score couldn’t overshadow the sheer impressiveness of Wembanyama’s dunk.
The dunk, even more impressive in slow motion, initially looked like a finger roll before Wembanyama turned it into a powerful slam. Celtics guard Derrick White prudently chose not to contest Wembanyama’s finish.
Fans on social media compared Wembanyama’s dunk to Michael Jordan’s iconic last-second dunk in the 1996 movie “Space Jam,” noting that Wembanyama’s feat was achieved without any CGI enhancement.
This is not the first time Wembanyama’s dunking prowess has left fans and fellow NBA players in awe. His ability to continually surprise with his dunks remains as impactful as ever.
In the game, Wembanyama tallied 21 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists, though the Spurs ultimately fell to the Celtics 134-101. His performance continues to cement his status as an extraordinary talent in the NBA.
