Victor Wembanyama put on a show on Friday night during the San Antonio Spurs' 120-104 preseason win over the Miami Heat.
Wembanyama had several jaw-dropping highlights, including an insane alley-oop that was just amazing. NBA fans were buzzing following the hyped prospect's amazing dunk.
With less than a minute remaining in the first half, Wembanyama brought the ball downcourt. The 7-foot-4 point guard then made a quick one-two play with Tre Jones, who threw a perfect lob pass to the lanky Frenchman.
Wembanyama caught the ball and threw down the slam. It's even crazier when replays showed that the 19-year-old was barely coming off the 3-point area when Jones had passed the ball.
