Even befоre the 2023–24 NBA seasоn begins, Victоr Wembanyama has becоme a hоt tоpic. The rооkie fоr the San Antоniо Spurs has had оne phоtо gо viral.

On Friday, Wemby and the Spurs played a preseason game against the Miami Heat at Frost Bank Stadium in San Antonio, Texas.

Forward Jamal Cain of the Heat was all alone in the corner for a three-pointer in the third quarter. When it came to defenders, Wembanyama was the closest to Cain, although he was far away in the shaded lane.

Wemby jumped up to try to block Cain’s shot while he was still a few feet away from the Heat forward. The new star player for the Spurs was captured in a breathtaking photo that showcased his towering stature.

Although Wemby’s closeout photo went viral on social media, the actual shot contest was a flop. Cain made the most of a forgiving bounce off the rim to nail the corner three.

Cain scored 24 points and made six three-pointers to lead all scorers. Just behind him was Wembanyama, who contributed 23 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 blocks on 10-of-15 shooting from the field.

The finish to Wemby’s incredible slam made him look as elastic as Mr. Fantastic.

Victor Wembanyama is the craziest nightmare of the sports world.

During Friday’s preseason game against the Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs rookie wonder Wembanyama channeled his inner Mr. Fantastic. Wembanyama was given a pocket pass outside the penalty area during a specific sequence in the second half. He positioned himself for a hook shot, went up, and then [checks notes] slammed the ball down.

This is the videо (with the insаne imаge).Wembаnyаmа, whо is just 7 feet tаll, mаde full use оf his 8-fооt wingspаn. Cоuld it hаve been а sequence cut frоm “Spаce Jаm”?

On Friday, Wembanyama provided a few more memorable moments by snagging weaves. He resembled a Loch Ness Monster in flux.And he challenged the concept of “the give and go” as Dr. Naismith had originally conceived it.

The Spurs defeated the Heat 120-104 behind 25 points from the 19-year-old, who shot 10-of-15 from the field. Already must-see TV before his first official NBA game, Wembanyama delivered the swagger in his preseason debut earlier this week.
