Victor Wembanyama dunks in a video game over Clint Capela
An “alien” has landed in Houston and is taking no prisoners. In a high stakes Tuesday night showdown at Toyota Center, San Antonio Spurs occurrence Victor Vembanyama provided another “how is that possible?” a moment where the NBA world is in a frenzy.
In the middle of a conflict with Houston Rockets, the 7-foot-4 superstar collected the ball, drove with purpose and rose for a thunderous video game-style dunk right over the veteran center Clint Capela.

That was a statement. Vembanyama essentially played bully ball with one of the league’s most respected rim protectors, leaving Capela as a mere spectator in a play that is sure to dominate social media for weeks.
Vembanyama entered the game with a dominant 24.8 points and 10.8 rebounds, but his sheer physicality caught the Rockets off guard.
The Spurs, looking to extend their winning streak, relied heavily on their center to anchor both ends of the floor. Vembanyama’s statistical fingerprint was all over the place as he matched his scoring outpouring with his usual elite rim protection.
The The Rockets, led by Kevin Durant 26.1 points per game and the all-around play of Alperen Sengun, tried to counter the momentum of the Spurs. Sengun held his own with 12 points and six rebounds, but the night belonged to the French sensation.
For a Spurs team that is the talk of the Western Conference at 30-13, Vembanjama’s continued evolution into a physical force is a scary sight for the rest of the league. If he adds “bully ball” to his already impossible bag of skills, the NBA might actually be in trouble.
