Since the moment 7-foot-3 Victor Wembanyama, aka Wemby, stepped onto the NBA court, fans knew they were witnessing a new prodigy poised to change the game. With his towering presence, quick feet, and deep-range shots, Wemby has shattered the “tall man” stereotype and led the San Antonio Spurs to back-to-back wins.
But in a surprising turn, one player has again made Wemby the center of attention, but this time for all the wrong reasons. Chicago Bulls star Coby White delivered one of the season’s most jaw-dropping dunks—on none other than the Spurs’ giant himself.
Coby White dunks on Wemby in explosive play
In a recent matchup, the Spurs locked horns with the Chicago Bulls in a highly anticipated match. From the moment the ball tipped, the arena buzzed with excitement, as fans knew they were about to witness something special. The game turned into a back-and-forth battle, with the Bulls ultimately claiming victory with a final score of 114-110. However, one specific moment in the match broke the internet, and it didn’t go in Wemby’s favor.
With the Bulls leading 111-110 in the fourth quarter of the game and only 20 seconds left on the clock before the final buzzers went off, nothing could have prepared the fans for what happened next. Coby White, with the ball in his hands and the clock ticking down, saw an opportunity. He rushed towards the rim, and in a moment that will be replayed for years to come, soared through the air, rising over the towering 7’3″ Victor Wembanyama. Wemby, who had been an absolute force on defense, was helpless as White threw down an electrifying dunk on him that made the whole arena go wild, who couldn’t believe what they had just witnessed.
If there was even the slightest possibility that the Spurs could have made a comeback, this poster not only put the Bulls in a three-point lead but also broke the Spurs’ spirit, which cost them their 18th loss of the season.
Zach LaVine reacts to his teammate’s dunk
In a post-game interview, when asked about White’s dunk on Wemby, LaVine said:
We had a running joke, somebody has to try him. I was trying to, but it didn’t work out. So I’m happy, and I’m a little envious. Because Coby has two dunks on the year, and one of them was on Wemby.
