Even Victor Wembanyama can’t believe Stephon Castle’s dunk
Victor Vembanyama had a hilarious reaction to the stunning climax from Stephen Castle during San Antonio The Spurs’ preseason finale against the Indiana Pacers on Friday night.
Vembanjama is preparing for the third season of his NBA career with the Spurs. His sophomore campaign was cut short due to blood clots, seeing him make a crucial recovery to return to action for San Antonio.
As for Castle, he’s gearing up for his second season. He mostly came off the bench as a rookie while learning from veteran guard Chris Paul, who left for the Los Angeles Clippers last offseason.
Castle’s highlight came in the first 30 seconds of the game. San Antonio went on a fast break as Devin Wassel fed a layup to Castle. The latter jumped high into the air, finishing the game with a great dunk. Vembanjama witnessed the play in front of him, stating that he made a unique reaction.
