Spurs star Victor Wembanyama throws down wild dunk through both Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren early in Game 1
Victor Wembanyama barely left the court while throwing down the left-handed jam on Monday night.
It’s too early to call this the “Dunk of the Series,” right? Either way, Victor Wembanyama will have an incredible still shot of a dunk he threw down between two-time league MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Oklahoma City Thunder big man Chet Holmgren. Wembanyama, in the second quarter of the San Antonio Spurs’ Game 1 matchup with the Thunder on Monday night at the Paycom Center, caught a lob in the middle of the lane.
While barely even leaving the ground, Wembanyama managed to grab it, move the to his left and throw down the one-handed dunk between Gilgeous-Alexander and Holmgren with ease. Just watch: Wemby with the LEFT 💥 He's got a double-double in the 2Q (10 PTS, 10 REB)! pic.
