“Victor Wembanyama’s Insane ‘Go Go Gadget Arms’ Dunk Defies Reality!”

Victor Wembanyama, at just 20 years of age in his second season in the NBA, is showcasing abilities never witnessed before in the league on a nightly basis as the San Antonio Spurs center. After an impressive debut on Christmas at Madison Square Garden, Wembanyama is rapidly making a compelling case for All-NBA status and is emerging as a leading candidate for the Defensive Player of the Year award.

On Sunday night, Wembanyama and the Spurs faced off against the Minnesota Timberwolves. With less than a minute remaining in regulation and the Spurs down by four, Wembanyama received the ball in the low post, pivoted to his left, and executed a dunk over several Minnesota defenders with his extended arm.

Only an individual standing 7’5 with an 8-foot wingspan, like Wembanyama, could achieve such a feat. What an incredible maneuver. Catch the play here:

Here’s a close-up, slow-motion view:

This illustrates why some commentators become exasperated when Wembanyama attempts so many three-pointers. This season, he averages 9.5 three-point attempts per game, successfully making 35.9 percent of them. Wemby is an effective shooter, but he is utterly unstoppable around the basket.

The Wolves triumphed over the Spurs, 112-110, with Wembanyama scoring 34 points in the defeat. Donte DiVincenzo emerged as the standout player for Minnesota, contributing a team-high of 26 points from the bench, hitting 5-of-10 three-point attempts.

Following this loss, the Spurs’ record falls to .500 — 16-16. The Wemby phenomenon continues on schedule.
