[All-Access] A view from Dallas as Victor Wembanyama pump fakes, drives, and finishes with the reverse slam dunk.
By the way just look at his first step after the pump fake
forget even the dunk which is its own nonsense, how is his acceleration so good
It’s crazy how his acceleration can beat decently quick wings even. To go along with his strides of course
His acceleration didn’t, his giant step did. That’s more insane core strength and coordination than explosive first step.
Wemby finally invented basketball 2
Them shaolin steps
Because he trains without shoes and bare feet majority of the time when he lifts.
This guys laugh in the background was me the whole game. There is a certain type of highlight that makes you laugh in that way, where the laugh builds as the play becomes more and more ridiculous; Steph does it regularly… but I have never seen a whole game of those plays, with such a wide variety of plays… dunks, crossovers, pull ups, fade aways, blocks….
You know in the movie Signs when Jaoquin Phoenix sees the alien in that news clip from Brazil and he lets out a surprised and terrified “Oh!” while covering his mouth? I did that like 4 times watching Wemby highlights today.
forget even the dunk which is its own nonsense
I watched a 6’8 guy in high school spend a good 30 mins just trying to pull off this same dunk in practice.
This mf just pulled this out with half a second of space and Anthony fucking Davis rushing full speed at him. What the actual fuck.
Helps that his legs are taller than I am.
Wemby about to end the MJ-LeBron debate
As a MJ fan, I hope he does. He has the physical attributes to do things we’ve never really seen. I hope we all get to see it happen. Just to get to all time great would be an accomplishment.
I’ve seen 3 “unbreakable records” broken in my life. Give me all-time greatness.
I’m guessing Ohtani is one of those for baseball, Ovechkin for hockey, Curry’s 3-pointers in basketball. Any others I’m missing from other sports?
72-10
Kareem’s points
Gretzky’s points
Gretzky’s *goals
Ovechkin passed his goals, Gretzky still has him beat in points by over 1200.
Ovechkin broke Gretzky’s goal record, not the points (goals+assists) record. The goal record was very similar to Kareem’s point record where it looked like Ovechkin had outside shot entering his 30s, and somehow stayed healthy and consistent for a decade to actually break the record.
Gretzky’s points record is as unbreakable as pre-WW1 baseball records where pitchers threw 30 complete games a season. Jaromir Jagr is 2nd in career points, and he played from ages 18-45, won RotY, led the league in points 5 times, won 3 MVPs, and totaled 1,921 points.
Gretzky has 2,857 points. That’s 50% more points than 2nd place. Given how big and athletic goalies are nowadays, it’s possible no one ever gets to 2,000 points let alone 2,857.
Yeah I’m hammered but I appreciate the paragraph ❤️
Jagr was awesome in the NHL 92 game.
I’m sure other versions as well but that’s the one I remember playing.
Oscars triple doubles with RW already forgotten whem he hasnt even retired yet 🥀
Wemby can legit break Duncan’s unbreakable 15x All-Defense selection
MJ-Lebron debates for 2nd all-time gonna hit like crack.
Hopefully he has the longevity
Even Wemby can’t carry a team to a championship by himself.
He’ll need a better team around him to get multiple chips to really get into the goat debate
It’s a long way from dominating an opener in year 3 to winning multiple championships.
I’m hesitant to anoint him just yet.
My god. What have we unleashed
We were so preoccupied with whether we could that we never considered whether we should.
Life, uh, finds a Wemby
“Do you too think God stays up in heaven because he fears what he’s created on Earth.”
God’s on enough posters where he might have ventured out previously but now, I’m not so sure.

I am become death, destroyer of worlds.
I love it
Me throwing it down on my 6 year old in the driveway after 4 Modelos
Modelo should give you a commercial.
Truly “the mark of a fighter”
I can’t even imagine what this looks like in-person
i saw him do a windmill vs us in person earlier this year. it doesn’t look real
It’s like watching a high schooler play against his kid brother on a Nerf hoop
“us”
About to get tickets in Feb asap just to see him lol
especially to nba stars who’ve probably never been height diffed like this in their lives
Ts is so unfair man. Devs gotta patch this
Nah bro he only beat two other number one picks, nothing to see here.
Idk what you want Devin Vassell to do, he just hoops
We finally hoopin’
You just can’t help but laugh at how absurd this is. Fucking crazy.
We’re all fucked
It looks like a kid playing on a rim too small for him. He’s a terror. This is going to be the GOAT
The part that this vid cut out was Wemby attempting a quick dream shake on Washington. It didn’t really do much compared to the pump fake, but yea you can see Wemby just trying all sorts of shit out this game.
The way AD, elite shot blocker and rim protector, wanted absolutely no part of that lmao
To bite on that pump fake, do you think you can block that jump shot?
PJ got some nice hang time on that jump so I imagine he spent a good half a second in the air thinking “Wait.,.wtf am I doing?”
The thing is that players don’t go up against Wemby sized individuals like him everyday. He’s one of one, so their brain is saying he’s a 6’8 small forward. They can’t process fast enough that he’s not actually 6’8 but only moving like he’s 6’8, and Wemby senses that.
yep, their muscle memory makes them jump, then they realize wemby is not a 6’8 dude. Players will adjust with experience, but for now they will bite those pump fakes
I’ve gotten my joy back in NBA basketball
hes such a fuckin showoff i love it
Bro underwent the Batman training plan yall should’ve seen this coming. Those Tibetan monks ain’t no joke
Oh MAMA
Yeah, he’s definitely 8”2
Ayton could stop that. Jokes aside this whole game is a wemby mixtape 😂
That ain’t right
He is terrifyingly good unreal
He plays like I did as a kid when we could lower the rim down to 6 feet.
Absolutely fucking insane
Ngl that shit looks even more dumb in person 😂😂 god bless my booty gobert
Freaky ass MF’er!👽
League unironically fucked. You can’t even defend against this shit
He just took the breathe right out of the building !!!!!! Wow
Breath*
I want to see this from Courtside angle.
man wtf
Wemby Highlight’s compilation is growing every game, soon it will be 6 hours
[deleted]
OH HO HO INDEED
They could kill the gather step and he’d still have the easiest layup of all time here
The Figment.
Oh nice!!!
Kung Fu training about to be popular again
Generational
Ban him from dunking
Holy shit am I excited to watch this kids career. Wemby might not have a ceiling
I’ll say it: the move was good, but the dunk was ass because he’s too tall.
I am simply not excited about a guy dunking who can grab the rim standing. It’s incredible he has any dexterity, don’t get me wrong.
Wemby finally learned not to chuck 3s all game?
it was a decoy, to get ppl to fall for the pump fake he’s playing the long game
I for one am glad Pop blackmailed the league into giving us another franchise big.
Pop deserves it ngl
I can’t believe we got the MyPlayer on our team
I don’t think I’ll ever get used to that.
Oh ho ho ho ho OH! ho ho ho ho!
That guy was basically speaking my internal monolog.
AD soft ass foul attempt.
holy shit,, its gonna be insane watching Wemby cook this year. the Spurs are STACKED
Yep all I needed to see he’s the best player in the NBA right now
Fuuuuuuuck no smh
Wtf this is one of the craziest moves ever
lol why is PJ saying my bad for getting cooked by this alien?
This is AI
We might be in trouble
Wtf is AD even doing?
This dude is so fucking sick. I hope he becomes the face of the league because he also seems like a genuinely decent guy.
I can’t comprehend how quick he is at that size
Wemby is a taller, somehow more skilled version of KD
lol the fan reactions
Welcome to the weNBeyA era.
Do we need 13 posts from this dude on the front page?
It’s fucking Wemby so get used to it.
The faces in the crowd say it all.
Nice dunk!
We’re living in Wemby’s World now 🌍
It looks like when you lowered the basket and played on an 8 foot rim as kids
The way Wemby moves tickles the same part of my brain as when I see an AI video thats not quite convincing enough.
Cooper Flagg is Just Jabari Parker 2.0.
People really fall in love with high usage tweeners
What does that have to do with this post? He’s not even involved in this play
