[Highlight] Victor Wembanyama dribbles around Reed Sheppard like a guard and finishes with the reverse two-handed And-1 dunk (with replays)
What are you supposed to do there if you’re Reed
Die.
“Oh, very clever, Palifaith, eat any good books lately?”
I love a good TNG reference.
Petition for height limits in the NBA
Might as well try and get term limits for congress and the supreme court
In a just and functioning democracy, those should have been standard. But we all know the old bastards will rather die than relinquish their power
But we all know the old bastards will rather die than relinquish their power
Feels much more like “the old bastards would rather let you die than relinquish their power.”
Nothing. So I’m 5’7 and I had to guard Austin rivers my senior year of high school. He was only a sophomore but dude was way bigger than me. When somebody is way bigger than you but they can also handle the ball, run like a gazelle, and have great footwork there isn’t shit you can do. If you are standing in front of them they will just gallop around you like you are a traffic cone. And I was a damn good defender.
Lol at one point we tried our center on him, that was even worse.
there will always be someone better than you in the world.
The only distinction is in how they’re better than you, and for how long they’re better than you.
This is some real im14andthisisdeep shit
Except for Wemby. He’s starting to look like the True GOAT. I can hardly believe it.
My brother was a pretty good corner back in high school. His senior year he was guarding this guy that just cooked him over and over.
Turns out that Randy Moss guy was unguardable
Doing nothing was ironically the best defense he could’ve played. It’s better to give up the two points or let him potentially miss on his own than foul him and give up an and one.
Not turn into the next Brandon Knight meme which he succeeded in
At best, a hard foul.
Just give him the lane. He will score it anyway.
This is entirely absurd
He is on my team and even I think it’s unfair lol.
This HEAVILY reminds me of young Giannis when he was starting to build his handle and realize he was too big, fast, and strong for anyone to stop him from getting to the rim. Wemby with the Giannis drive package would take his offense to the next level… which is scary af
Trust me when I say I’m not being a hater at all, Wemby is one of my favorite players in the league. And I know they have different skill sets which does make this impressive in different ways. But Giannis does this twice a game and nobody gives a shit. Literally the play won’t even be posted on r/NBA let alone twice with thousands of upvotes lol.
This is why I’m a big advocate for this sub getting back to its purpose and posing team/player updates and highlights REGARDLESS of the team/player. Can’t use this sub to keep up with the league anymore. It’s just a few ppl get shit on and a few people get glazed and then everyone argues about it.
It’s not that nobody gives a shit, it’s that Giannis has been doing it for almost a decade
Giannis is half a foot smaller
Everyone loves the hot new thing. This is our turn. They will be hating us again enough.
Thinking a guy who scores 24 points a game in 29 minutes on .62 TS has a next level of offense to unlock is hilariously unfair.
Giannis with stepback fade 3s is horrifying.
Somebody stop him
it really grinds my gears to hear the brain dead takes like, “he’s 7’5 he’s suppose to do that!” okay, so show me anyone else that size doing that!
I can’t think of anyone maybe Hakeem and Sampson could’ve done that but I don’t think they would even try
The height difference between Wemby and Hakeem is the same as the height difference between Hakeem and Lamelo Ball (if we consider Wemby to be 7’5”)
WTF
hakeem is the same height as dwight howard, maybe 6’10 in shoes
thats like hakeem and steph curry
Once got in a argument with a friend whose a big Dream fan, it’s not common knowledge he’s 6’9
I was just going off listed height where he’s 7’0”
i know, they called him 7 foot in the 80s and it stuck but hakeem is like 6’9 and a half barefoot
Hakeem was 7ft. There are multiple photos of him standing taller next to Dwight Howard on the Internet.

Na
so hakeem is 1 inch shorter than david robinson
who is clearly 3+ inches taller than him
Wtf….Lamelo is not even a small guy which makes this crazier
The biblical Samson? Perhaps
I remember Giannis yelling at Tacko Fall to stop playing like Wemby
Him mom is a former basketball professional who coached him since childhood, his dad a track-and-field athlete specialized long jump/triple jump/high jump who taught him how to run and jump “the right way” very early on. People are underestimating how much of an impact that has. He probably has so much fewer bad habits to unlearn because of that.
Zach Edey, offensive terror
You make it seem like there’s a huge pool of guys, even in the league chet and bol bol could prolly do ts.
Then why don’t they? Are they stupid??
They do 😭
No the fuck they don’t lol
Chet ain’t doing this
Two dribbles btw. Starting behind half court. Unreal
The gather step adding that extra step certainly helps.
THIS. MAN.
Jesus christ any time I see Durant near Wemby reality gets a bit weirder.
If he stays healthy and has longevity, Wemby will be the greatest of all time
The league really lucked out getting him while lebron is on his way out
Really hope he stays healthy for 10+ years regardless of how much he fucks my team
Big if
Jesus fucking Christ
relocate the team to seattle if we lose on friday
Better to move to the east.
This is just stupidly unfair lol, props to Reed for being the first one to get back
Dude’s supposed to be 7’7”
I heard he has 2 dicks
Thank GOD kawhi and uncle Dennis screwed over the Spurs and forced their way out 🥲
UFO sound effect
KD joined the wrong Texas team.
Yo im just gonna say it but how big do we think it is? It has to be the biggest ever right? Anything less than 15 inches im gonna be disappointed
Whatever it is… it looks small on him
I wish ESPN did those naked body or was that sports illustrated?
IIRC in every example we have of giant people, the testimony has been it doesn’t really translate
Can I see your links 👀👀
Nah lol testimony, not hard evidence (yes that pun was intended). People joke about it all the time for all kinds of superhuman athletes but I feel like I remember hearing the ones who do speak on it say it don’t work that way, unfortunately for them.
I literally can’t think of a single other person on league who could pull that off in a real game. Wemby is a 2K created player come to life.
Modern 2K might not even allow for this.
Absolutely does not allow this.
Even if they did he would have just sprinted full speed into a step back middy when he actually meant to dunk it so we still wouldn’t get this highlight
What can you even do against Victor man. Freak of nature
Wemby get taller every time he scores on you
Bro can eurostep from the 3pt line, it’s just not fair 😭
Bruhhh. Wenby so OP.
Just like in 2k lol
wtf is this fuckery man
head down, dribble fake… normal stuff from the likes of Kyrie and Harden.
And then… oh mah gaawd. That was NOT a guard’s dunk
Wemby is too much man.
Real 2K demigod
Can you call it a dunk if the rim is right there for you? Haha. More like a toss in
There be monsters here
Man the MVP chants hit hard.
I think Sengun is getting over-hated right now, and I don’t want to pile on him. But he’s running like a Hanna-Barbera character in this clip and it’s killing me
Reed looked like a kid beside Wemby and im sure that guy is already over 6ft tall
6’2, I wish I was as tall as Reed
The NBA needs to start importing tall, fluid, super athletes to try to stop this guy. Fucking hell this kid is only 22 and make be hear for 15 years minimum.
Jesus someone put a body on this man. Ok n/m that’s not likely to happen.
It’s like he faked the birth certificate and is playing in a league of kids five years younger
That was so clearly three steps. We don’t care anymore?
Boomer take but the gather step has made basketball so much worse. NBA the only place where this move is possible.
