In the Boston Celtics recent blowout of the San Antonio Spurs, star Spurs big man Victor Wembanyama displayed his impressive size advantage over Boston point guard Derrick White. Wembanyama, standing at over 7 feet tall, dominated the court and showed off his guard-like on-court fluidity by effortlessly dunking the ball over White. The play originated from a missed trey by Jayson Tatum, and ended with Wemby dunking the ball after holding it beyond the reach of a pursuing White.
Wembanyama showed off silky smooth handles for his size, with the difference in size and reach between the two almost evocative of pro players toying with young kids at their summer basketball camps.
His incredible 7-foot-9 wingspan makes it nearly impossible for opponents to challenge him around the basket.
