Victor Wembanyama left viewers, who looked closely, in awe during a recent interview with Harrison Barnes.
This happened during a practice session at Crypto.com arena, after the Spurs’ game against the Lakers was cancelled due to the horrific wildfires in the Los Angeles area.
The wildfires have caused widespread devastation, with the Palisades Fire and Eaton Fire being among the most destructive in California’s history. As of now, at least 24 people have lost their lives, and dozens more are missing. Over 10,000 homes have been destroyed, and more than 100,000 residents remain under evacuation orders. Firefighters are battling the blazes amidst challenging conditions, including dangerous winds that threaten to undo progress.
As Barnes was talking about the disaster, Wembanyama decided to showcase his incredible dunking skills by launching himself from the free-throw line and slamming the ball through the hoop, for the viewers focusing on the blurry background.
