Alien Victor Wembanyama, new rookie of the San Antonio Spurs made a dunk that set fire to social media and hoop networks.
Victor Wembanyama is the rookie sensation in the NBA. Despite the bad moments of the San Antonio Spurs, the young Frenchman is averaging numbers and putting up performances that inspire the enthusiasm of basketball lovers. So much so that a play of his at the end of last year broke records among the networks.
THE VIRAL DUMP
In the December 31, 2023 game where the Spurs faced the Boston Celtics, in which the Massachusetts franchise won 134 to 101, Wemby starred in one of the most famous plays so far this season and could potentially compete for of the award at the end of it.
The 20-year-old, 2.23-meter Alien left Derrick White on an impressive run and scored twice with a spectacular dunk that started at the foul line and immediately entered the highlights of the year. The video was uploaded from the official NBA account and the effects are massive.
Across all social networks, the Frenchman’s entry has accumulated more than 153 million views. A massive figure that makes it the most produced NBA content of all time.
Good gift from Wemby, bad from San Antonio
Victor Wembanyama is averaging 20.6 points per game, 3.3 assists, 10.2 rebounds and 1.3 steals so far this season. These are great numbers for a young player and they have been compared to the first seasons of legends like Michael Jordan or LeBron James.
Despite having one of the figures of the current NBA, the Spurs, who know how to shine under the guidance of Popovich, do not raise their heads. They have a record of 11 wins and 48 losses in the 23/24 season and are placed in last position in the Western Conference. It will be interesting to see the reconstruction of San Antonio around the 2.23 meter Alien after the campaign is completed.
