The NBA might want to reconsider the dimensions of the basketball court to make it a tad bit more difficult for San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama. Maybe add burning spikes near the rim? Bear traps?
On Wednesday, Wembanyama reminded everyone anew that they are mere mortals. In the third quarter against the Chicago Bulls at United Center, the ultra-talented center made a two-hand dunk from the free-throw line.
With the Spurs on the fast break, Wembanyama filled the lane and received the ball from Julian Champagnie. He easily threw it down from 15 feet, as if he was simply heating leftover pizza in a microwave.
The Spurs are eyeing their 10th straight win to improve to 10-2. They have yet to lose on the road.
The Bulls, on the other hand, are struggling at 1-8, including 0-3 at home.
As of this writing, the Spurs are leading the Bulls in the fourth quarter. Wembanyama has 22 points, five rebounds, two steals, and three blocks.
More details to come.
