Self-pass to the board and fierce dunk: the spectacular play of the alien Wembanyama that ridiculed Giannis Antetokounmpo

The 19-year-old once again surprised everyone present at the AT&T Center with a masterful resource

Wembanyama’s spectacular play that ridiculed Antetokounmpo

Victor Wembanyama did his thing again in the match between San Antonio Spurs and Milwaukee Bucks. The young 19-year-old NBA star surprised with a spectacular play that sent the AT&T Center into delirium.

The French player, who with his height of 2.24 meters wreaks havoc on his rivals, once again showed a resource that will be saved as one of the best plays of the season.

After a great dunk by Antetokounmpo seconds before, Victor Wembanyama took revenge and did not want to be less than his rival. The alien received a pass from Cedi Osman and with just a feint movement he got rid of Giannis himself and ridiculed Pat Connaughton, who almost didn’t see him pass.

Wembanyama left the three-point zone and although he was far from the rim, he took advantage of his enormous physicality and made a self-pass to the backboard and then broke the rim with a ferocious dunk. The conversion caused an impact on his fans and the astonishment of the journalists of the official broadcast.

Later, the French alien, barely 19 years old, and one of the best appearances in recent times in the NBA, took advantage of a loss for the Bucks and at full speed once again left a rival paying, this time Damian Lillard. Victor Wembanyama passed the ball behind his back and dunked it in front of the strong defense with a foul from Brook Lopez.

Wembanyama had just shown an impressive play in a recent match against the Boston Celtics. During the match that took place before the start of the year 2024, the Frenchman was the protagonist of a layup that dazzled the spectators at the AT&T Center and fans on social networks.

He received a pass from Malaki Branham and with just two strides he surpassed Derrick White, one of the best blockers in the league and who, faced with Wembanyama’s size, could do little to stop the unstoppable advance of the young prodigy.

The captured sequence shows how Wembanyama launches himself towards the hoop with a jump that, given his physical proportions, was intimidating. Even Derrick White, who measures 1.93 meters, seemed to resign himself to the Frenchman’s power, without even trying to block the play.

When asked at a press conference about what happened in that action, White said: “I’m not an idiot. I expected Victor to dribble again but he continued and I didn’t see him again. “I just tried to get out of the way.”
