Another night, another viral highlight for Spurs star Victor Wembanyama, as the rookie phenom found another way to make his presence known amid his much-hyped first season.
With the Spurs battling the Rockets on the road, Wembanyama secured a pass off a pick-and-roll in the third quarter. Awaiting Wemby under the rim was a contest from Rockets center Alperen Şengün, who quickly learned the dangers of jumping with the French sensation.
As Sengun looked for the block, Wembanyama came flying toward the basket with a thunderous, one-hand dunk atop the big man’s head, instantly giving the 19-year-old his latest memorable play for fans to be in awe over:

Although he was already considered to be a problem, Wembanyama’s takeoff and jam in Houston certainly further proved that point in a major way.
As for Sengun, whom many call baby Nikola Jokic, the electric sequence, despite his admirable defense, will be remembered in an entirely different way for the third-year standout and Rockets fans.
